October 25th Dear Mom
I am having a wonderful time here. I went to some very interesting places. Kitty's teacher Mr Wu invited me to join in their school trip to the World Park. It was a great day but we did not enjoy it at the beginning.
Yesterday morning Mr Wu and the other students met Kitty and me at the school gate. Then we got on a coach. The trip from Kitty's school took about two hours by coach. It was boring. There was a lot of traffic on the city roads but it got better when we were on the highway. Kitty and I felt sick for most of the trip.
Finally, we arrived at the World Park. The sky was blue and everything was beautiful. We became very excited when we saw the Eiffel Tower from the coach! It is made of metal and really tall. When the coach stopped, we all got off quickly. Kitty and I did not feel sick any more. We just wanted to go into the park and enjoy ourselves.
Soon, we were inside. The whole world was there in front of us.' There are over a hundred places of interest from all over the world. They are small but wonderful.
The pyramids looked Just like the real ones in Egypt. The Golden Gate Bridge looked just like the one back home too. When I saw them, I couldn't believe my eyes. They were wonderful.
It was an amazing day but the best part was the song and dance parade. The music was great and Kitty wanted to join in the dancing.
You can see some photos of the trip on the Internet. Kitty's classmate Daniel taught himself how to make a home page. He put his photos on it for everyone to look at. Go and see for yourself!
Love
Linda
Yesterday's trip was great! Linda really enjoyed herself.
Me too. It was interesting to see so many places of interest from all over the world.
I didn't like the travelling from one place to another at the beginning. There was too much movement of cars on the city roads, but it was OK on the main road between cities.
Did you feel food was going to come up from your stomach for most of the trip?
Yes, but when I arrived at the park, I felt better.
Did you see the tall metal building of Paris?
Yes, I did. What about the old stone buildings of Egypt? Did you see them?
Yes. They were amazing, weren't they?
Yes, they were.
Where shall we go with Linda? Shall we go to the Great Wall?
I'm afraid that's not a good idea. She went there yesterday.
Well, we could go to the Palace Museum.
Yes, that's a good idea, but it's very expensive. I'd like to go to the Temple of Heaven.
Sure. Why don't we go to Beijing Amusement Park too?
What a great idea! Let's go to the Temple of Heaven and then play hide-and-seek in Beijing Amusement Park.
