Answer 1

One possible version:
Dear Millie,
It’s very kind of you to write to me about your beautiful city. Now I would like to tell you something about my hometown Wuxi.
It lies in the east of China. You can see beautiful views here. It’s a suitable place to live. There have been great changes in the past ten years. There are many trees and flowers everywhere. And there are many modern shops. More and more tourists are coming here for a visit. However, there are also some problems, such as air and water pollution. The government started to take action to protect the environment last year. I hope you will travel to my home town when you are free.
