Dear Jay,
     How are you? Thanks very much for your last letter.
     I've finished all my exams. The last one was yesterday. It was history. I think this subject is really difficult because
there're lots of facts and dates to remember. I've got a poor memory and I hate to remember things. I'm afraid I can't pass
the history examination.
     This term, I learnt eight subjects. The worst were history and French; I found them very boring and difficult to learn.
I think I need to study hard next year. I like geography best, but we only had it twice a week. Our geography teacher,
Mr.King, is great. He taught the subject well. He didn't like to spoon-feed students with lots of facts. He hoped us to
learn freely. He didn't give us any homework the whole year. Perhaps he hated doing homework when he was a student.
     We did a project with Mr. King about a few countries in Europe and Asia. Some of my friends went to the library for
photos and I used the Interact to search for information. Mr. King gave us a lot of helpful advice. At the end of this
term, we gave an oral presentation (口头报告) in front of the class. I'd like to be a pilot, and then I could travel and see
all those places.
     Please write and tell me about your school. What was it like? Were your exams easy?
     Best wishes.
                                                                                                                                                                          Yours,
                                                                                                                                                                           Nick
