Dear Cindy,

Happy New Year! How are you? What about my uncle and aunt? Are they well?

I don’t go to school today, so my mother and I go shopping together.

We go to Chongqing Clothes Store first. The clothes are on great sale. And it sells all kinds of clothes. You can buy T-shirts, sweaters, jackets, trousers, shorts, socks and shoes in the store. Some of them are nice and cheap. The orange sweater is only 99 yuan each. I like the T-shirts. They are only 59 yuan. They are in red, green and white. My mother buys a sweater and a down coat (羽绒服).They are 388 yuan. She also buys three T-shirts for me. I am very happy.

Then we go to a bookstore. The winter vacation is coming, so I want to buy some books and read them every day. Jin Yong is a great writer (作家). I think his books are great. But he passed away (去世) at the age of 94 in Hong Kong. I am good at writing stories, too. I hope I can be a great writer. I buy two books. They are 108 yuan. My mother thinks she can read the books with me.

Then, we go to have a nice lunch at Burger King. It sells hamburgers for 36 yuan. Coke Cola is 8 yuan a cup. Its French fries are really nice and they are 12 yuan. After the lunch, we go home.

That’s my day. What’s your day like? Write to me soon.

Yours,

Kate
