Dear Alice，

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 something about it.

     In the past, teachers used to speak alone all the time in class, keeping us students busy making notes and leaving us no time to think for ourselves. As a result, what was taught in class was difficult to understand or to remember. The class was so dull that we gradually lost interest. And after school we were required to do a lot of exercises.

Now, curriculum reform has made our school life colorful. We are active in class. In order to train the ability, we often do research and help each other. We have various afterclass activities, such as singing, dancing, going to the library or surfing the Internet for various kinds of information. Our school life is getting more and more lively and interesting.

Best wishes.
