Do you know Venus(金星)? Of the eight planets， Venus is the nearest one to us. Venus was the Roman goddess of love and beauty. In Greek her name was Aphrodite. Venus and the Earth are almost the same size， and you would weigh almost the same on both planets. If you were 70 pounds on Earth， you would be 63 pounds on Venus.
Venus is an “unfriendly” planet. Because of its thick cloud， you can’t see the surface(表面). In many ways Venus is like the Earth. It has active volcanoes(火山)， mountains and valleys， too. But Venus is too hot for life. It has the hottest temperature of the planets in our solar system， about 480℃.Besides， the Earth lets heat out through volcanoes， hot springs， but Venus lets heat out in a different way. Venus has no moons. Scientists call Venus the Earth’s sister planet because Venus and the Earth are almost the same size. For a long time most scientists thought that Venus probably had plants， animals and possibly even humans. However， because Venus is so hot， it is impossible for anything to live there.

Dear Lin Tao,
I am writing to you in English. I hope you can understand(懂) it.
I love studying in London and I have many new friends. Most of them are my classmates. From Monday to Friday, we have English, math, physics and P. E. in the morning. I like English and physics, because they’re interesting. I don’t like math. It’s too boring. At noon, I have to have lunch at school because my home is far from（远离）my school. We usually have two classes in the afternoon—art and politics. We finish our classes at 3:30 p. m. After school, my friends and I always play football on the playground. And then we go home by bus.
On weekends, we have no classes. We often go to the park and sometimes we go to the movies in the evening. We see movies twice a month. I like some famous(著名的) actors like Jackie Chan.
Oh, I have no time to write more. Please write back soon.
Best wishes,
Wang Gang
