亲爱的朋友：
dear friend:
你好！
Hello!
因为我们现在要开展一项活动，所以我给你写了一封信，希望我们以后能成为好朋友，我们的活动名字叫“手拉手”。
Because we are going to carry out an activity now, I wrote a letter to you, hoping that we can become good friends in the future. Our activity is called "hand in hand".
我们虽然没有见过面，但我很想和你做朋友。我叫赵芷芊，今年11岁，上五年级了，在深圳上学。虽然我在深圳有许多朋友，但我十分希望和远方的小朋友做笔友。你也许是个活泼的男孩，也许是个开朗的女孩，我希望你能喜欢我、接受我。
We haven't met, but I'd like to be friends with you. My name is Zhao Zhiqian. I'm 11 years old. I'm in grade five. I go to school in Shenzhen. Although I have many friends in Shenzhen, I really hope to be a pen friend with the children in the distance. You may be a lively boy or a cheerful girl. I hope you like me and accept me.
我的家乡——深圳，是个年轻而有繁华的城市。她虽然没有悠久的历史，没有丰富的土特产，没有名扬中外的历史古迹，没有让人惊叹的山山水水，但她充满生机和活力，在深圳人眼中，她永远是最美的。深圳有许多值得一去的地方，比如刺激的欢乐谷，有趣的东部华侨城，热闹的华强北……还有让你周游世界的世界之窗和美丽的海滩大、小梅沙。深圳的环境很好，虽然四周都有高楼大厦，车很多，但大路两边都是绿树成荫。深圳也很方便，邻近全球经济之都之一——香港，海陆空交通都很便利。
Shenzhen, my hometown, is a young and prosperous city. Although she does not have a long history, rich local specialties, famous historical sites at home and abroad, or amazing mountains and rivers, she is full of vitality and vitality. In the eyes of Shenzhen people, she is always the most beautiful. There are many places worth visiting in Shenzhen, such as the exciting Happy Valley, the interesting east overseas Chinese town, and the bustling Huaqiangbei There are also windows of the world for you to travel around the world and beautiful beaches, big and small Meisha. The environment in Shenzhen is very good. Although there are tall buildings and lots of cars around, there are trees on both sides of the road. Shenzhen is also very convenient. It's close to Hong Kong, one of the world's economic capitals, with convenient air, sea and land transportation.
你的家乡是什么样的？一定也很美丽吧。或许是繁华的美，或许是古朴的美，或许是纯净的美。我想你一定和我一样很爱自己的家乡。
What is your hometown like? It must be beautiful, too. Maybe it's the beauty of prosperity, maybe it's the beauty of simplicity, maybe it's the beauty of purity. I think you must love your hometown as much as I do.
我真诚地希望你能成为我的朋友。请给我回信呀！谢谢！
I sincerely hope you can be my friend. Please write back to me! Thank you!
祝：身体健康，学习进步！
Wish: good health and progress in study!
在远方的赵芷芊
