　　Dear Tom,

　　I'd like to tell you something about the village where my grandparents live. The village is a small one which has nearly 100 families and a population of 500 people. It used to be very poor. However, it has changed a lot since 1978 and has been developing very fast. People here are living a better life than before. Now it is taking on a new look.

　　In the past, the school was very small and most children couldn't afford to go to school. But now it has been rebuilt. The newly­built teaching building which has 4 storeys is the most beautiful one in the village. All the school­age children can study here. What's more, they enjoy free education.

　　Best wishes!

　　Yours，

　　Li Hua
