亲爱的露丝：
我现在在多伦多给你写信。我没有忘记我的许诺，要写信告诉你我是怎样在这儿度过去年冬天的。使我非常吃惊的是：在我们到达这里后大约一周左右就开始下雪，已经下下停停将近三个月了。雪经常无声无息，不停地下着，而且经常是鹅毛大雪，以至于一晚上大地就会被铺平，变成天衣无缝的白色华盖。然而这样的美景持续不了多久，孩子们打雪仗，鸟儿留下的纤细的脚印很快将它糟蹋了。
由于一场严重冰冻，土地像铁一样坚硬。几乎人人都去溜冰或滑雪。开始我以为自己永远学不会滑雪，却发现自己能踩着雪橇下山了，而且还够熟练的。
这里的生活确实很丰富，有时我真希望冰雪永远不要融化掉。
你在哥斯达黎加（Costa Rica)一切都好吗？那里还是像以往一样热吧？
