Dear Eric,

It’s very kind of you to write me and let me know about your beautiful city. Now I’d like to tell you something about my hometown Quanzhou.

The city stands on the west bank of the Taiwan Straight. It is a beautiful place for people to live in. Its economy has been developing rapidly in the past ten years. New factories, houses, roads and bridges have been built. More schools and hospitals are available for its people. However, there are still some problems, such as water, air and noise pollution and heavy traffic in rush hours. In my opinion, Quanzhou should develop its economy scientifically. I would also think that the growth of its housing construction should be brought under control so that we’ll have a better hometown in future.

Yours,

Lihua
