So lots of people, including my family, went into space. However, therewere still a few people choosing to live on Earth.

We're now living in a new city on Mars（火星）. Life here is very nice, and we are happy in our newhome. I have a friend called John on Earth. Every week I use our school's timemachine to send messages to him.
