Dear Stephanie

It’s so nice hearing from you! You asked me about an important

city in my country and that is definitely Malacca, so it would be

a good idea to write about it.

Malacca is a historical city in Malaysia. In fact, this historical

city centre has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site

since 7 July 2008. Although the population is small, only about

nine hundred thousand, it attracts thirteen million tourists

every year! It is also famous for its street food like chicken rice

balls and satay celup.

I hope the information is helpful for your school project.

By the way, send my love to your family.

Best of luck,

Evonne
