a letter to an alien

Dear aliens:

howare you guys? I am Li X, who lives on the earth. She is a 10-year-old boy who is in the fifth grade. I have always believed that you exist in the universe, and you have been to our planet. But which planet do you live in? How many light years are there from us? Is your science there very developed? I have a lot of questions to ask you. But let me first introduce our planet - the earth.

The earth has been in existence for more than 4 billion years, and we humans have a history of 200,000 years. If you drive a flying saucer from the universe to the earth, you will see it is an elliptical blue planet from a distance. That's because more than 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by the ocean, the lowest part of the earth. The life of our planet originated from the ocean. About 30% of the earth is land, and there are seven continents. We live in China, the largest in Asia. The earth is a planet that orbits the sun. It is a beautiful star with a vast blue sea, green dense forests, golden vast deserts, and white majestic glaciers. The earth gradually bred life during its growth. From the initial single cell to the multi-cell, from microbes, plants to animals, there are countless species living on earth. Mother Earth is our common home.

In recent centuries, our human science and technology has made rapid progress. We are constantly exploring into space. I really want to know what kind of place do you live in, and is it a life-filled, vibrant star? What do you look like in the long run? Do you humans also divide men and women? Is it also a lot of countries? Are your flying tools advanced? Can you fly as fast as the speed of light? Do you have disasters such as war, disease, plague, etc? Do you want to grow crops, raise animals, and eat a few meals a day? What language do you use there, and can you communicate with the Earth in English or Chinese? Are many unsolved mysteries on earth related to you? Can you explain it to the Bermuda Triangle, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Mayan culture, and the Easter giant statue? How long does it take for you to have four or more dimensional spaces? Can you travel through time and space and perceive the future? Is there enough energy in your area? Wait, I want to know too many things, I can't finish it for a while. I really hope that when you can appear in front of me, we can communicate, I want to take you around the world, and hope to be a guest on your planet.

There are already 6 billion people on the planet and they are constantly increasing. The resources on earth are constantly decreasing and destroying. It is hard to imagine what the earth will look like after thousands of years. I hope that you can pass on advanced science and technology and splendid culture to us so that we can find cleaner, pollution-free and reusable energy. I hope that you can lead us to explore, discover and find more in the vast celestial bodies. It is more suitable for the planet we live in; I hope that we can become friends and neighbors in the universe, peacefully get along with each other, and jointly create new and higher civilizations to make our lives better!

To

Our highest respect!

Your Earth friend Lee X
