One day, an American man Simon went to London to see his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat (公寓) was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But a man told him that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why

The British and Americans may use different terms for the same things. The British usually use “football” “holiday” and “lift”, but Americans like to use “soccer” “vacation” and “elevator”.

Do you wear clothes with colorful patterns People usually use machines to make these patterns. But how did ancient (古代的) people make them
Ancient people used tie-dye (扎染). Tie-dye is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China—it’s more than l,000 years old! It’s popular in Yunnan. People first put cloth (布料) into the blue dye (染料). Some parts of the cloth become blue, but other parts have a lighter color. When you open out the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns.
Now the tie-dye skill is China’s national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). An’ning in Yunnan is famous for tie-dye.
Yang Cheng, 52, learned tie-dye from his mother in the 1980s. Yang got the old skills. At the same time, he studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. It once took Yang two years to make two tie-dyed dresses! He used many skills of An ning tie-dye. Some patterns on the dress are traditional, while some are modern. He used images of Dianchi Lake and eight popular flowers in Yunnan. “I want to put all the beautiful things into tie-dye works,” Yang said.
Now Yang is still dyeing and teaching his daughter tie-dye. “we have the duty to pass down the skill to younger generations (世代).” Yang said. Yang now teaches tie-dye in schools, communities and companies. More than 100,000 people learned from him.

I miss you and Dad. Can you tell me your life in America I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Andy
