Sometimes people ARE surprised
I surprise someone.
This means I do something to make them feel surprised.
I am surprised.
This means that something surprised me.
Sometimes people are surprised when they see local people with black people.
If the black person is from Africa, we can say &`&African&`&
... with an African
... with an African man / woman
... with an African person
... with African people
... with Africans
If the black person is from the United States, we usually say:
African American
For example:
I met my friend yesterday. He is an African American.
African American
This can be an adjective or a noun
He is African American. (adjective)
He is an African American. (noun)
Dear Taco,
I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU visited me someday. My hometown is Qingtian LiShui IN Zhejiang Province. It is the hometown of overseas Chinese. There IS food from all over the world.
It&`&s a for life city. (I&`&m not sure about the meaning of this sentence)
WE used to do business in Milan,Italy. I like coffee and Italian food very much, so I opened a coffee shop and gelateria. When you visit me, I can cook Italian food for you. There IS a lot of YangMei. It is a specialty OF QingTian. But the weather IS RAINY, so THE YangMei IS not sweet this year. After today, it WILL BE sunny. I hope you come soon.

But the letter was supposed to give me travel advice.
It was supposed to give me suggestions about what I should do or see or eat when I go there.
Remember everyone, it is very important that we understand the homework.
If we do not understand what we are supposed to do, we should ask.
For example,
If someone asks us what time it is, we should not say that they look beautiful in their dress.
Saying that they look beautiful is very nice. But it does not answer the question.
It is a very suitable place to live in.
There ARE FOODS from all over the world.
There IS FOOD from all over the world.
There are all sorts of food.
i&`&an is famous for its local food SUCH AS the mutton and bread pieces in soup, Chinese HAMBURGERS and many sorts of noodles. l will drive you to eat all these DELICIOUS food. l know you will love them like me.
Xi&`&an is also a big city BUT travel and LIVING are very convenient.
Please do not bring MUCH cash with you. A phone and AN ATM card are enough.
l wish to meet you very very very much! Please come here with your beautiful wife.
Your Rose
Xi&`&an
This is the correct way to write 西安
If we write Xian, it becomes one word. Like 先，or 线， or 现
I have many Chinese friends who never use full stops ( . )
They always use commas ( , )
When a foreigner sees this, it does not look correct.
It is difficult to understand when the sentence is finished. And it is difficult to understand when the next sentence starts.
We must make a full sentence.
For example:
Rose and Jane are in this class.
There are students in this class.
This is a full sentence.
We cannot say:
Students in this class.
This is NOT a complete sentence.
I know that in Chinese we can use adjectives as nouns sometimes, but we cannot do this in English.
Sometimes a word can be both an adjective and a noun. If its like that, then we can use it as a noun as well.
But, usually in English, we do not use adjectives as nouns.
We cannot say &`&many&`& cash.
Cash is a non-count noun.
Stay safe, healthy and wonderful!
