Dear Sam,
I have a very happy day on Sunday. I go to the West Lake(西湖) with Jim and his father. We take some hamburgers with us and we want to have a picnic there. The West Lake is very nice and many kinds of fishes are in it. We see many people there. They visit the West Lake like us.
Jim and I sing some songs and his father cooks for us. Then Jim and I fly a kite and his father goes fishing. We take some photos there. We are all very happy.
Yours,
Zhao Long
