The Englishmen have a great love for the countryside.The countryside is nice and beautiful.A lot of people like to live in the countryside, because it's quiet and it has fresh air. Today a lot of people live in the countryside.But many of them have to work in cities. Different people have different ideas about living in cities or the countryside.
People from cities are often very happy to live in them. People from Manchester think that their city is good;people from Liverpool think in the same way.People from other places may like to visit the differences in these cities. In different cities, you can hear different ways of speaking and different words.
What do you do if you want to give gifts to people and you don't have much money? Here are some do-it-yourself gift ideas to try.

You can clean your house, sing a song, write a letter to your mom and dad. You can also draw a picture for them if you like that better. These are the best gifts for them.

Dear Jim,
How are you? I have a great thing tell you. Next month, I will go to my grandparents' home by high﹣speed( 高速 的 ) train.My grandparents live far my home. It usually takes me seven to eight hours to get there on the old train.That's too long, so I only go and see them big festivals like National Day or the Spring Festival.I have to call them or talk with them on WeChat when I miss them.Now,because of the high-speed train, I can visit my grandparents often. The train runs about 350 kilometers every hour. it just takes me about three hours to get to their home.It really saves a lot of time.
There more and more high﹣speed trains in ChinA. I'm sure one day people can take them and get everywhere around the country.I hope you can come to China and have fun taking the great train.
Yours,
Wu Qian
