Dear Sandy,

    Thanks for your email I've arrived home safe and sound.

    My grandparents (live) in a small town thirty miles away from Xuzhou. I spent about half an hour (get) there. They gave me a warm welcome, and (cook) me a big meal. We chatted far into the night and I (tell) some happy stories about them and their neighbours.

    Since 2001, great changes (take place) in Xiuzhou. I will take some photos and (send) some to you . Next time, I'd like and your family (come) with me. You can (visit) many places of interest here.
