Part Ⅰ Writing
Dear Mom,
Last week, I was informed that I won the first prize of the Fifth Youth Novelists Competition. I feel that my achievement in writing is mainly attributed to your love and support. So I am writing to extend my sincere thanks from thousands of miles away.
I still remembered how frustrated I was when you strongly objected to my ideas of being a novelist at the very beginning, for you thought it might be very hard for me to make a living on writing after my graduation. But at last, you showed your love and support for my dream. It was still a living memory when I was moved to tears hearing you really hoped I could be happy and would support my dream from then on. It is your love that motivates me to never give up being an insightful writer.
In the end, I want to thank you again for your consisting support for my dream. Your encouragement will be the very power to help me make greater progress.
Sincerely yours,
Mark

It is a fascinating place where there are a good many of ancient bridges, Chinese hotels and restaurants. During the past 1,000 years, the water system and people's lifestyle in Wuzhen have undergone so little change that Wuzhen has become a museum displaying the ancient civilization. All the houses in Wuzhen were built out of stones and woods. For hundreds of years, the locals have built up residences and held fairs along the canal. As countless beautiful and spacious courtyards are hidden in between the houses, visitors find pleasant surprises everywhere.
