Dear Daming,

I’m sorry to hear that a big earthquake happened in Ya’an, Sichuan. Some school buildings broke down in the earthquake and many students couldn’t go to school. But I know the government is trying their best to help them. And Chinese people are so strong and brave that they aren’t afraid of anything difficult. Can the students go on studying now? Please tell me more about them.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours, 

Tony
