Dear Li Mei,

Thank you for your letter.

You said “Happy Spring Festival!” So it’s　 41　 in China now. In 42　 it’s nearly autumn now. It begins to get colder. But it never gets really cold here. Do you know 43　 is the best time　 44　 Australia? Australians will tell you that　 45　 season is good. But the best time is in summer. It gets very hot at that time of year. But you can go to the beach and 46　 in the sea. Swimming 47　 very popular in Australia. The sea is very blue and beautiful. You can　 48　 lie on the beach and enjoy the sun. Some people swim in the sea 　 49　 .　 50 , I don’t swim in July and August because I think the sea is too hot then.

Best wishes!

Robert
