[00:07.10]2 Hi,James,
[00:09.92]Thanks for you letter.
[00:11.35]You asked about my home.
[00:13.58]I live with my parents in an apartment
[00:14.97]in a district in the east of Beijing.
[00:19.02]I live quite near Beijing Railway Station
[00:22.06]and also quite near the street
[00:24.25]called Silk Street,
[00:25.80]Where they have the market.
[00:27.85]Beijing has many old monuments,temples,
[00:30.96]and palaces,
[00:32.40]but it is also a very modern city.
[00:36.06]There are wide avenues
[00:37.64]and mordern office buildings.
[00:40.03]I took this to give you an idea
[00:42.33]of how the area looks.
[00:44.72]As you can see,the streets are busy
[00:47.39]and there are bicycles everywhere!
[00:50.92]My mother was born in this part of the city,
[00:54.01]She says the city looks different now.
[00:57.43]When she was a girl,
[00:58.76]There were no fast food restaurants.
