We have many wonderful teachers who are always ready to   42   help.   43   we pay a lot of attention to how well we do in lessons,   44   high scores is not the only reason to study. The teachers encourage us to try out new ideas and ask questions.   45   their help we have developed all kinds of interests in both Arts and Science. Students can choose to   46   any school clubs they are   47   in. We can also choose the subjects that we want to study. Last term I selected American Literature, because I wanted to learn about famous American writers. This term I chose to attend music classes because my father bought me a piano   48   a birthday present.
  49   , I was elected monitor of my class,   50   it can be   51   to be a monitor,   52   I have to do a lot of work and attend many meetings.   53   , being a monitor has taught me a lot, such as caring for others and taking responsibilities and so on. When my class was given the title of “Model Class”, I was   54   than ever before. So being a monitor plays an important part in my school life. I’m very pleased with my work.
I love my school and hope that you will have a pleasant experience here too. I am looking forward to   55   you soon.
