2 Hi,James,
Thanks for you letter.
You asked about my home.
I live with my parents in an apartment
in a district in the east of Beijing.
I live quite near Beijing Railway Station
and also quite near the street
called Silk Street,
Where they have the market.
Beijing has many old monuments,temples,
and palaces,
but it is also a very modern city.
There are wide avenues
and mordern office buildings.
I took this to give you an idea
of how the area looks.
As you can see,the streets are busy
and there are bicycles everywhere!
My mother was born in this part of the city,
She says the city looks different now.
When she was a girl,
There were no fast food restaurants.
