Hi Hongbo,

I’m so glad to read about the changes talking place in your city. It’s really good news that you can travel by subway in Xi’an, though there’s only one line there. Here in London we have twelve lines. By the way, we don’t use the word “subway” here. It’s American English. We call it “the Underground”, instead.

The London Underground is very famous. It’s famous for several reasons. First of all, part of the underground railway today is the oldest in the world, which opened in 1863. Secondly, the London Underground is also the first line to have electric trains, in 1890. Thirdly but not the last, the London Underground is the second largest metro system in the world, after the Shanghai Metro. There are 270 stations in the Underground and it has 402 kilometres of tracks(轨道). What’s more, the city of London itself helps make the transportation system famous! I’ve got a few photos to help you build a clear picture of the Underground in my city. They are together with this mail.

In your email, you also said workers were building more lines. I’m sure your city is developing fast. Maybe you can send me a few photos of your city today. I really want to see the changes taking place there. I’m happy for you to live there in an ancient city with such a new look!

So much for now. I’ll write soon again. Best wishes!

The other day my daughter finally had a day off work. We decided to go out in the    16   for the time, together! It was an enjoyable experience. Then a surprising thing happened. She turned and asked, “Hey, Dad, can I    17   the boat?” I had a look of fear in my eyes    18   the boat can be driven at a very high speed and can be turned over very quickly. However, I gave the driving seat to her and began    19   her how to properly control the boat. I told her to remain calm as I had completely believed in her.

It can be both frightening and exciting when your child tries doing something, even if it’s a small thing, you still feel like they are growing up too fast and it’s out of your    20   . Time goes by so quickly, so it’s    21   to spend time with your kids, with your family. It is an amazing feeling to experience as their confidence grows.

In every situation if you relax, take your time, and show confidence, you will have a great      22   . We not only had a    23   morning on the boat, but also invited our little neighbour who is 8 years old and put him in the    24   right between us. As I drove at top speed, making sudden turns and jumping over the waves, all I could hear was my neighbour      25   and screaming at the top of his voice because he was having such a great time.
