Dear Donald,
Last summer I had a chance to visit the other side of the world. | went to Beijing with my friends. I visited the Great Wall and was deeply impressed by its length. I had never seen such a great wall before! Walking less than a mile on the wall made me very tired, but I was very excited. I used up three camera films in four hours.
Shopping was another interesting part of the trip. In the Silk Market, I bought a silk shirt for just a quarter of the price the trader asked for.
I have many memories and experiences to share. I am so lucky to have seen such a culture so different from my own. I will remember my trip to china forever!
Yours,
