　　Good morning．I’m Chen Hua．Here’s my culture report for today, Monday：

　　A new film starts tonight at the student cinema at eight o’clock．The film is Pirates of the Carribean．It’s a fantastic adventure film．Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are the stars．They are both very popular and famous, and they both act well in this film, and make their characters believable．

　　The story is about an old ship．It sails around the Carribean islands．Depp and Bloom try to find some lost gold．Then they come fare to face with some terrible men, and have to fight them．There's lots of action, and the fighting looks really dangerous．They also saves Keira Knightly．She plays Elisabeth, the daughter of a rich man．The scenes with Knightly and Bloom are beautiful and romantic．

　　The film isn't true to life, but it' s very exciting, and some of it is very funny．It' s an enjoyable film, although in my opinion there's too much fighting．But except for that, it's an excellent film．U you didn't see it when it first came out, I advise you to go and see it now．I' m sure you' 11 enjoy it．It' s showing all week．

Dear Mandy,

　　Hello．I ask for a pen pal in Canada．I hope you would like to be my pen-friend．

　　My name is Jiang Fan．I'm a girl．I'm 14 years old．I have a lot of hobbies：reading books, playing computer, growing flowers, going shopping, swimming…I'm a student in BaoDai Experimental Primary School．Our school is very beautiful．There is a little garden in our school．In the little garden, there is a small lake．Its name is Jingji Lake．Around the lake, there are a lot of flowers and trees．After lunch, we often play in the little garden．The little garden is our paradise．I live in Suzhou．It's a water city, the Oriental Venice．Suzhou is not a big city．But there is a lot of water and many canals．Do you know Suzhou's landscape gardens? They're very famous; the 28th World Heritage Conference was convened in Suzhou．Maybe you can come to Suzhou, and play with me．

　　I have a happy family．It's small：my father, my mother and I．My father was a navy．And he is a director of a factory now．He is working hard．He usually comes home at ten o'clock in the evening．My mother is a teacher of university．She teaches computer studies．She can cook delicious food．I love her．I will go to the middle school soon．I'm very busy now．I hope I can go to a good middle school．

　　I have not been to Canada．But I think I will go there soon．I will study hard．I think that live to learn, not learn to live：and to learn is to try to live better．I wish to conclude with a poem as follows．

　　No life is destined to be dark

　　If you fire it with spark of devotion

　　Success will not be the star hanging on the sky

　　Beautiful dream is not so difficult to true

　　Even though the road is long and mountain is high

　　We must forge ahead

　　As tomorrow is longer than yesterday!

Yours,

Jiang Fan

International Classmates,

　　Hi, there．I'm Liu Wei．I'm a Chinese teacher at international school in Beijing．We have kids from all over the world here．In some ways our school is a different from other schools in China．For example, the pupils don't wear uniforms．Let me tell you about my favourite junior high school students．

　　Matt comes from New York．He loves rap music．When he walks between classes he always wears headphones．His classmates are afraid of him because he's big for his age and he's really noisy! In his free time he watches action films and practices Kung Fu．Today he's entering Kung Fu competition．Good luck, Matt!

　　Brad is one of Matt's classmates．He is a very quiet boy．He was born in Sydney, but his parents are from Poland．He likes speaking Polish and English when he's at home．Brad gets very angry when people can't understand him! Brad's favourite sport is swimming．He wakes up early and trains every day before school．

　　Lucy is another one of my favourite student．She's a tall, beautiful girl from London．She's a good student and she's always studying．Sometimes she can't sleep because she thinks too much about her lesson! Lucy loves Beijing, but she doesn't like the summer．She says it's too hot! She wants to study medicine when she leaves school．I hope she'll be successful!
