I live with my mum and dad in an apartment on the 15th floor.I have two sets of grandparents.My mum's parents live far away in Shandong，but I see my other grandparents often as they live near us.
I'd love to get a letter from you and to learn about your life in Gansu.

[设计说明] 由捐助说到了中国农村很多孩子因贫困无法上学，介绍“希望工程”，再过渡到如果你捐助了一个学生，给她写封信，介绍你自己的学习和生活情况。信的提纲已经给出，这便于学生快速构思，有助于学生在课堂上规定的时间内完成习作。如果时间不够，学生仅仅完成初稿，可以把修改和誊抄的工作作为家庭作业布置下去。
