Dear Fiona，

How are you these days？ I am in Beijing for six months. And everything is going well with me. But I am a little busy. My husband， Ben， is busy with his work. Every day he gets up at half past six and then goes to work by bus. Usually it takes him about two hours to get to his office. It s far from our home. And my child is only two years old. She is too young， so I cant go to work and have to look after her at home. Its ten oclock now. We just finish the dinner. Now Ben is doing the dishes. He is tired， but he still helps me when he gets home. I just tell my girl a story to help her sleep. After writing to you， I need to prepare breakfast for tomorrow morning. And then I can go to sleep. The day after tomorrow is Saturday. And Ill go back home then. Wish to see you soon.

Yours，

Laura
