Dear Sam,
What are you doing now? I’m writing this letter in a hotel in the Alps(阿尔卑斯山脉). Now it’s summer vacation, so we can stay here for two weeks. Summer is usually very hot in Europe, but in the mountains, things are different. There is always snow. My parents and my sister are with me. We are having a great time.
The morning in the mountains is cold and windy, so we don’t go out. We watch TV or play chess in the hotel. When the sun comes out and the weather is not so cold, we go
out to play in the snow. There are many schools. They teach people how to ski(滑雪). My sister and I take classes in one of them. It is really fun!
See you next month.
