Dear Amanda,
Thanks for your letter. I have tried the recipe you told me. I like it so much. I learned to make a cheese sandwich from CCTV-2 not long ago. I would like you to try it. Let me tell you how to make it.
Before starting, we should have some butter, two pieces of bread, some cheese and some vegetables, like a tomato, an onion and some lettuce. Now we can start. First put some butter on a piece of bread, about one spoon of butter. Next, cut up the tomato and the onion, and put them on the sandwich. Then, put some cheese on the sandwich. After that, put some lettuce on the cheese. Finally, put another piece of bread on the top. Now you can eat the cheese sandwich.
I have tried it. It’s easy. Tomorrow is Saturday, so you can try it at home by yourself.
Have a nice weekend!
Yours,
Mary
