Dear Iris,

Thank you for your concern about the heavy snow that has swept across many parts of China including Jiangsu since mid-January.

Answer 1

Dear Iris,

Thank you for your concern about the heavy snow that has swept across many parts of China including Jiangsu since mid-January. Actually, it’s the worst snow disaster in our country. Railway and freeway traffic has been paralyzed, making the family reunion of many people in the Spring Festival impossible. Some of the electricity facilities were destroyed, which caused huge losses to the national economy. Besides, electricity shortage has been there because the severe weather made the production and transportation of coal difficult. To make matters worse, in some places have even suffered power failures. The snow caused great inconvenience to their life.

Luckily, effective measures have already been taken by our government, but fighting the snow disaster is not something left to our government alone. As citizens, we have done our own little bits. First, we have helped remove the snow from roads and streets. Then we have saved as much electricity as possible by turning off the air conditioners and so on. And last but not least, we have taken good care of those families with only the old and young at home.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
