Dear Joan,
Hi! I'm Hu Xiaofang, your pen pal. Alice is my English name. I know you from my English teacher, Mary. She's also an American, just like you. I'm 13 years old. I live in Hangzhou. It's a beautiful city. I'm in Hangzhou Yucai Middle School. I go to school from Monday to Friday. I always get up at 6:00. After breakfast, I usually walk to school at about 6:40, but my mother drives me to school when it's rainy. Morning classes begin at 8:00.
I have six classes every day. My favorite subject is English. It is interesting. Mary is kind and I like listening to her. We have lots of after-school activities in the afternoon. Soccer is my favorite. I often play it with my classmates. I go home at 4:00 p.m.
I do my homework at home. And I go to bed at 9:30. What about your life?
Yours,
Hu Xiaofang
Mr. Smith has two children. One is a son called Sam, the other is a daughter called Sally. Sam is eleven years old. He studies at school. Sally is four years old. She is too young to go to school.
One evening Sam is doing his homework. Sally is sitting at the desk and writing something on a piece(张；片）of paper(纸）in front of her.
"What are you doing, Sally?" asks Sam.
"I'm writing a letter to my friend, Rose," answers Sally.
"How can you?" Sam says in surprise(吃惊）, "You can't write, you know."
"It doesn't mater(没关系）," Sally says, "Rose says, Rose is four, too. She can't read, either(也)."
A different(不同的) way of learning is widely used in our English study.
Before class, we make study plans first. Then we look up the new words, listen to the recording and read the text. When we meet problem, we can't solve by ourselves. We always write them down in our notebooks.
In class, we sit in groups to discuss the problems freely. The teacher always offers help when we need. After discussion（讨论）, it is time for us to give a report（报告） to the class. We also make conversations in pairs and practise a lot. It is really good for our listening and speaking.
After class, we have less homework now so we can go to the library to read English books, magazines and newspapers. We can also surf the Internet for useful information.
In a word, we enjoy the new way of studying. We can make more progress in our study.
