How are you? I'm glad to make friends with you online.
I'm always interested in China, a great country with a long history. So would you please tell me something about your hometown, your neighbourhood and your life?
I hope one day I can have the chance to visit your hometown.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Dear Tom,
Thank you for your email. I'm happy to tell you about my hometown, my neighborhood and my life.
I live in a quiet town in North China. It's a beautiful town with a river flowing around it. People here know each other well and they are all kind and helpful. I'm lucky to live in a neighbourhood like this. There are a lot of things to do in our hometown. I love flying kites in spring and swimming in summer. I go to school in the city and I go back home once a week. I know I must work hard to make a bright future.
Yours,
Li Ming
