The official written languages of Hong Kong are Chinese and English, as stipulated in Article 9 of the Basic Law of Hong Kong. Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese, as well as English, are allowed as official spoken languages. Written Cantonese is used mainly in children's literature, advertising and other informal correspondence. In addition, the languages of recent immigrants from the Philippines, Indonesia and other countries are used in everyday life. The current situation of dual writing and trilingualism appeared relatively recently (after the transfer of Hong Kong to the PRC in 1998).

Thanks a lot for your last letter. I’m sorry I haven’t answered earlier but I was really busy.
You asked me to talk about the apartment where I live. Our flat is on the second floor. There are two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, hall and my room. We made the repairing of the flat two months ago. Now we have a modern kitchen and bathroom. After repair the kitchen and bathroom became bright and fresh. I like it.
I spend a lot of time in my room. I do homework, read, play computer, sometimes paint there. I like to decorate my room. It has a lot of flowers and photographs.
In my area there is a park where I go skating. It’s cool!
Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework.
Good luck,
