5、Dear Eric,

How’s everything going? I’m having an enjoyable time in Beijing now and I would like to share with you my experience of watching the Olympic Games. Yesterday, I, along with my friends went to the Water Cube to cheer for the American athletes in the diving competition. I waved the flag with efforts and took lots of photos of the wonderful moment. While watching them receiving the gold medal, I acclaimed excitedly without noticing my camera drop to the ground. On my way back to the hotel, I realized my camera was gone, so I immediately rushed to the Lost and Found in the Water Cube to try my luck. Fortunately, I saw my camera there as well as some other items that were returned by volunteers. With the help of the staff working there, I found the volunteer and offered him some cash in return. To my surprise, he turned me down, saying that it was his duty to do so.

I was moved by their hospitality and sincerity. I felt grateful for their help.   

                                                                     Yours,

                                                         Tom
