Dear Mary，

It was so nice to read your letter the other day. I have always dreamed about having a pen

friend. Hopefully, we can learn from each other and grow to be the very best of friends. It is my

wish that our letters will let us get to know each other and share parts of our lives.

Your horse Shannon sounds beautiful. I am very jealous (羡慕的) that you get to live on a

farm. I cannot imagine how much fun it is to ride a horse through endless fields and I would love

to come and visit you one day. Your siblings (兄弟姊妹) also sound lovely. I am an only child, so

I can only imagine what it is like to have older brothers and sisters.

Life in New York is so busy and it is difficult to find the time to get to know people. Even

becoming close to my classmates has proved to be quite difficult over the years. However, at times

it can be the most amazing city in the whole wide world. At night it is so bright and lively and the

whole place is full of things to do.

I love reading too! I have never read any books by your favorite author Enid Blyton though. I

will have to go to my local library and find some. I also enjoy dancing and often enter

competitions. My other favorite hobby is ice skating. In winter, I skate in Central Park. In the

other seasons, I go to an indoor rink (溜冰场). I am hoping to start entering ice skating

competitions next year.

Anyway, I have to go now and do my homework. I really hope that I hear from you soon!

Lots of love，

Megan

Jack Ma: Asia's richest man just

became $2.8bn richer in one day

Jack Ma's net worth increased by $2.8bn overnight as Alibaba forecast sales growth

that topped every analyst's estimate on June 8,2017, despite the fact that China's economy

is slowing down.

Mr Ma, aged 52 this year, is now the richest person in Asia and the

14th wealthiest in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires

Index. His net worth has climbed $8.5bn this year to $41.8bn.

The latest surge came after China's largest e-commerce company

forecast 45 to 49 per cent revenue (收入) growth in the year ending March, demonstrating how

investments in online shopping are paying off. Shares in Alibaba, where Mr Ma is chairman, rose

13 per cent to a record high.

Alibaba and Tencent, which dominate online shopping and social media respectively, have

ventured (冒险) deeper into new areas from cloud computing services to streaming music and

video as the country's economy slows. Alibaba is capturing more digital advertising spending

by incorporating (吸收) social elements such as video in its shopping sites.

Alibaba is holding meetings with investors this week. On Friday, the former English

teacher said he wasn't going to discuss corporate forecasts. He took the stage instead to describe 爱看书的康强

爱看书的康强 how his company had become effectively the world's 22nd largest economy — just after

Argentina — in terms of transactions (交易) by never fearing to think big. Mr Ma, who said

Alibaba revised 10-year plans annually, foresaw the company becoming the fifth-largest

eventually by 2036 by serving burgeoning (迅速发展) Chinese middle classes, taking advantage

of global trade and making use of its valuable data.

Ma's comments about the evolution of data-driven technology echoed those of Masayoshi

Son, chairman of Japan's SoftBank. SoftBank — Alibaba's largest shareholder — has invested

billions in companies such as ARM with the intention of staking out a leading position in the

future Internet of Things.

“The Internet of Things is going to be big because in the past, machines ‘drank’

electricity，” Mr Ma told investors. “In the next 20 years, machines will ‘drink’ data. In the

future, no company, no country, no business can survive without data.”
