I"m so glad to read about the changes talking place in your city. It"s really good news that you can
travel by subway in Xi"an, though there"s only one line there. Here in London we have twelve lines. By
the way, we don"t use the word "subway" here. It"s American English. We call it "the Underground",
instead.
The London Underground is very famous. It"s famous for several reasons. First of all, part of the
underground railway today is the oldest in the world, which opened in 1863. Secondly, the London
Underground is also the first line to have electric trains, in 1890. Thirdly but not the last, the London
Underground is the second largest metro system in the world, after the Shanghai Metro. There are
270 stations in the Underground and it has 402 kilometres of tracks(轨道). What"s more, the city
of London itself helps make the transportation system famous! I"ve got a
few photos to help you build a clear picture of the Underground in my city. They are together with this mail.
In your email, you also said workers were building more lines. I"m sure your city is developing fast.
Maybe you can send me a few photos of your city today. I really want to see the changes taking place
there. I"m happy for you to live there in an ancient city with such a new look!
So much for now. I"ll write soon again. Best wishes!

This morning, we had a school trip to the Dashan Collection House, a building of two floors. It is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. We took the school bus and arrived at 9:00. When we entered the collection house, our eyes were caught by a collection of old photos of the town on the walls of the front hall. Those photos told us something about the history of the town. And then in the Art Room, we saw many pictures of the countryside. The colors of the flowers and trees are rich and bright. All at once, I lost myself in the beauty of nature.
Then we went upstairs. On the left, there were over one hundred different clocks. The oldest clock was already more than two hundred years old. To my surprise, the clocks all worked well and they could tell the right time. It was then ten o"clock, and some clocks produced different beautiful sounds. It seemed to be a concert. How amazing!
On the right there was also a stone collection. The stones were from all over the country. They were in different sizes, colors and shapes. Some looked like different kinds of animals. I really liked one stone that looked like a little monkey. It looked very nice.
The collections there were wonderful. So they stayed there until 11:30 in the morning. I had a great time and really liked the school trip.

| My parents have always liked art exhibitions and they’ve taken me to many, but I never enjoyed them, however, in Edinburgh we saw an exhibition of African masks at a museum and they were fantastic. I couldn’t imagine that people made such beautiful things so long ago. Some of the masks were 2,000 years old. Marti, 14 |
