Do you know the universe? When we talk about it, we mean the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars, and the space1them. Many of the stars cannot be seen because they are too far away.

    The moon travels round the earth. It is our satellite. It is quite near us in space. It is only 3, 800, 000 kilometers2, and it has been visited by man already. So far, no man has traveled3than the moon, but spacships without people have reached other parts of the universe. Man-made satellites have been sent up into space by many countries. These satellites go4the earth and help us to learn more about the earth and other things. Most countries use these satellites to send and receive message. For example, with their help China can send5TV and radio programs to the other side of the world. Foreign countries can send their programs to China. We can also use satellites to help us make telephone calls to foreign countries.

Dear Alice,

    News！We have a new apartment. The rooms are small, but they are comfortable. There are more rooms here than in our old apartment. This is good because now I have my own room. In the old apartment. I shared with my sister.

    My bedoom is my favorite room in our apartment. I can be alone in it. I can read or draw. I can listen to radios or play CDs. I can play games on my computer and send my friends e-mail. My second favorite room is the kitchen. I love helping my mother cook our meals.

    She is a very good cook and is teaching me how to make many different kinds of dishes. She lived in Morocco when she was a girl, and she can cook Moroccan food. It's delicious. That's all for now. Write soon and tell me about your home. Please get on the Internet so that we can send each other e-mails. All good wishes.

Love,

Lily
