Dear mother,
     How are you? I'm fine.
     Today is Sunday. I don't go to school. I stay at home. I am writing to you now. Every day I go to
school at seven thirty in the morning. We have four classes in the morning. We read and write Chinese at
school. There are forty-five students in my class. Four of them are from the U. S. and five from Australia.
The other students are Chinese. Now I have many Chinese friends. My classmates are all my friends. They
teach me Chinese and I teach them English. I can speak a little Chinese now. Please don't worry about me.

                                                                                                                                    Yours,

       I am a Chinese girl. My English name is Kate. I study in Beijing Primary School. But my parents are 
working in Shanghai. They are teaching English at school. So I live with my grandparents in Beijing. I like Beijing
very much. It looks like a big garden. I like flying kites in spring, swimming in summer, and skating in winter.

day. I went there to see the flower show with Helen and Bobby. And I'm going to the Summer Palace this 
Sunday. It's free, too. I'll have a happy Sunday.
