Dear Li Hua，

Today I'd like to talk about something interesting．In UK，you can tell a lot about your friends by what they carry in their schoolbags--you may know what they like reading，and other things they like to do after school．

In the bags of middle school-age boys，you find hand held computer games，football magazines and playing cards．Girls usually have a book in their bag（maybe a romantic novel）and hair clips（发夹）．Girls and boys both often have an MP3，a mobile phone，and，of course，last night's homework! By looking in a friend's bag，you earl tell what kind of person they are．A clean and tidy bag shows an organized person．Someone with a bag full of textbooks and pens works hard．

British middle school-age children also have a locker（存储箱）at school．They store their books or sports things，such as a football or a tennis racket（网球拍）there．They use pictures to make the inside of their lockers beautiful．Maybe they have pictures of their favorite music or sports star，or photos of their friends．So just like their bag，their locker says a lot about the person．

How about things in China? Looking forward to your letter．

Yours，

Mike
