Question

Dear Wei Hua,

　　We've just returned from a short holiday at Ayers Rock. Ayers Rack is right in the centre of Australia. It's nearly two thousand kilometres from Sydney, so we flew most of the way. From Sydney we flew over s line of mountains in the southeast. It was rather cloudy at first. But after we left the mountains behind us, there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Most of the land below looks like sand, thought Dad told me it is greener than you think. “There are a lot of sheep down there,” he said, “but hardly any people.”

　　Ayers Rock is a large, low mountain. The day after we arrive, we got up early in the morning before the sun rose. We started climbing up before it was light. It gets too hot for climbing later. Lower down, at the foot of Ayers Rocks, most of the ground is covered with forest and grass, and there are even a few small rivers. But when you climb higher, you will find nothing grows there at all. We didn't reach the top because it was too hot. All around it is sand. In the evening, when the sun goes down, the sand is almost red. The sky is red too, so it is very, very beautiful. Though we only stayed there for a few days, we had a great time.

　　Please send me some Chinese stamps and introduce me a famous mountain in China. I must stop writing now, as I have rather a lot of work to do.

Yours,

Bob
