Postcard From Canada
Dear Weihan,
      Hi from Canada! We are having a wonderful holiday. We haven't seen a bear yet, but there are bears
and deer in the forests around the lake where we're staying. The bears often go to the rubbish dump (垃圾場)
to look for food. Perhaps we'll go to see them at the dump. We will need to be careful because bears are
quite dangerous. They will attack if you surprise them, so people carry bells (鈴) when they are out
walking to warn the bears away.
     On our first night we saw a fireworks (煙火) show. It doesn't get dark here until 10 o'clock, so it was
a really late night for us.
      Today I had a very short swim in the lake. It was cold. The weather has been sunny, but not like the
weather at home.
     Bye for now. We will be home next week.
                                                                                                                                            Yours
                                                                                                                                           Lingnan

      An expensive car speeding down the main street of a small town was soon over-taken by a young motorcycle policeman. As he started to take out the ticket, the woman in the car said proudly.
