Answer 1

Dear Steve,

   Your letter has reached me. The severe snowstorm has struck more than ten provinces in central and south China. There has never been so long and so heavy a snowstorm in the past 50 years. In those provinces, nearly all the water and electricity supplies are damaged or even destroyed. Moreover, the electricity plants are not prepared for such a snow storm and they didn’t store enough coal beforehand. Worse still, all the high ways are covered with deep snow or ice so almost all the transportation has come to a stop. Even some of the airports are closed. People’s life is greatly affected.

 In spite of all this, the government called on the whole nation to support the places hit by the bad weather. Many PLA men, policemen and technical workers are struggling where they are badly needed. Thanks to the leadership of our Party, the whole situation is now returning to normal
