　　Dear Earthmen,

　　I have enjoyed my stay on your interesting planet. I think I understand the life on earth now and I would like to give my impressions(印象).

　　First of all you live in boxes. Every morning you leave your big boxes and get into smaller boxes on wheels(轮子). All these small boxes run around and around, and finally stop to rest. You leave these boxes on wheels and go to very large tall boxes.

　　After resting all day you get back in your little boxes and return to your big boxes. There you sit and look at very small glowing boxes with moving pictures on the front.

　　There is only one thing I don't understand. I went to a football game one day. A group of angry boys fought a little round ball. Everyone shouted but they kept fighting. They were angry, because they had been kept in boxes all day. I think.

　　Thanks you earthmen for this chance to get to know you.

Yours

The man from Mars
