Hello Sandy,

We have just returned from our holiday. We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds.

Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as be used to. However this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!

I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley（峽谷）below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains（蒸汽火車）are very popular. I have taken many photos of the train and from it.

Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early （we usually expect snow in January）. It rained all day, then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine!

Both Jenny and I are well I don’t know if I told you, in the last e-mail, that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is enjoying the work.

Please write to us to tell us your news.

Yours,

Victor

　　Jimmy lived in the country. He loved playing in the river near his house. The river is not at all deep. So there was no danger（危險）to the kids. But a few weeks ago, his father found a job in a big city, and he moved there with the other two family members: Jimmy and his mother.

　　Their new house had a garden（花園）, but the garden was very small. Jimmy wasn't happy.“Is there a river near here?”he asked his mother on the first morning. His mother smiled,“No, dear. There isn't. But I hear there is a nice park near here. And there is a swimming pool in it. The water in a swimming pool is always clean and you will meet some other children there. We are going there this afternoon.”Jimmy was happy.

　　After lunch, Jimmy and his mother went to the park. Jimmy was surprised to see that the water was very clean. He could see the bottom of the pool. Jimmy wanted to get into the water, but his mother stopped him. She told Jimmy that he should first know something about the swimming pool. She took her son to a sign. It said,“Warning: Children shouldn't swim in this pool. It is dangerous. 7 children have fallen in it.”Jimmy looks into the pool carefully. Then he asked,“Where are they? I can't see them.”

Hello Sandy,

Edward had just come out of hospital and he could not walk as far as before. However, this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a restaurant for lunch each day before returning to the place we lived in. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!
I took lots of photos from the place we lived in, across the valley (山谷）below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist(迷霧）in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam-powered trains are very popular. I took many photos of the train.
