Tony: So what‟s your pen friend‟s name, Lingling?

Lingling: Sally Maxwell, and she‟s from Park School in London. Tony: Has she visited China before?

Lingling: No, she hasn‟t. But I sent her a DVD about China and she‟s watched it.

And she has enjoyed my messages about my life here in Beijing. So I think she‟ll like it here.

Tony: What about you, Lingling? Have you ever wanted to travel around the world? Lingling: Yes, I have. I‟ve always wanted to go to the USA and Europe. And Sally

has invited me to stay with her in England one day. The problem is the price of the ticket.

Tony: Well, guess what! Have you looked at today‟s newspaper? There‟s a

competition. “Take off from Beijing Capital Airport and land in London. Write about a wonderful experience. The first prize is the holiday of your dreams in England.” What do you reckon? Have you ever entered a competition?

Lingling: No, I haven‟t! It sounds brilliant!
