Dear Li Shuang．

    I’m really glad to receive your letter．You said you were learning to cook．Is it interesting?    I think if you want to keep healthy，food is very important．You’ll study better if you try all    kinds of different foods，especially vegetables and fruit．I eat them every day．

You asked me how to make a milk shake．There are different kinds of milk shakes．such    as apple milk shake．banana milk shake and carrot milk shake．Carrot milk shake is my  favorite．because carrots and milk are both good for my health．Before starting．we need a    carrot，a cup of milk，some ice and two teaspoons of honey．Of course，you need a blender．

Now，let’s start．First，wash the carrot and cut it up．Next，put the carrot，the milk，some ice and two teaspoons of honey into the blender．Then turn on the blender．Keep it work for only one minute．Finally，pour the carrot shake in a glass and drink it．It’s delicious!

    I want to learn how to make some Chinese food．such as dumplings．Could you teach me?

    Write soon!

                                                                    Yours，

                                                                    Alice
