Dear Li Lei,

I hope you are well. Thank you for your letter. You said "Happy Spring Festival!" so it is spring in China now! Here in Australia it is nearly autumn, his beginning to get colder. But it never gets really cold here.

You asked me when it was the best time to go to Australia. Australians will tell you anytime is a good time! Many people think the best time is in summer. It gets very hot at that time of year. Some people say it gets too hot. But I like summer best.

In summer I go swimming in the sea nearly every day. It's great. Swimming is very popular in Australia. The sea is very blue and very beautiful. Some people swim in the sea all the year round. But I don't swim in July and August. I think the sea is too cold.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　All the best,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　John
