Beijing's Heating Starts on 15 November — Epoche A1
To: Xiaoyu From: Ming Date: 14 November Subject: Heating starts tomorrow In Beijing the heating comes on 15 November and goes off on 15 March. The same dates every year. Nobody in this building can turn it on early, so tonight take the extra blanket. Open the small valve on the radiator behind your desk. Put a bowl of water on top of it. The air gets very dry. Tomorrow you will be too hot. Open the window a little. My cousin in Shanghai has no heating at all. Shanghai is south of the Huai River, and the city sends none.
