Dear Alice,
How nice to hear from you. You want to know what is going on in schools in China?　Now, I will tell you about it.
In the past, exam- oriented education forced us to listen to our teachers while taking notes in class. We did all kinds of exercises without end, though it was 5 o' clock in the afternoon. After supper, we had to continue our exercises far into the night.
Now, quality - oriented education has made our school life colourful. We are active in class. In order to train the ability, we often do research on study (research into study).sometimes one of us teaches ourselves. We have various outside, activities, such as singing, dancing, English comer, and taking computer lessons. Basketball and football are our favourite sports. In the evening we can watch news on TV, do experiments by ourselves and have talks and discussions of our subjects.
Please make sure that our school life is getting more and more colourful and interesting.
Best wishes.
Yours,
LiHua
