Pleased to meet you. I'm Sun Wei. I'm from China. And I'm a boy. I can speak English. Last year, I went to Australia. I went there by plane. I saw many old buildings. I visited the Sydney Opera House. It's more than forty years old. And I have a new friend in Sydney. Her name is Jelly. She can speak English and Chinese. Now we often write to each other. I am very happy because I have a pen friend.

    I'm Sam. I like sports. I always play basketball in summer. And in winter I often go skating with my family. I usually ride my bike to school, but sometimes I go by bus. After school, I sometimes write stories in Chinese. I like Chinese very much, but it's very difficult for me! I never eat fast food. I don't like it.

    Hello! My name is Bill. I am eleven. I like travelling. I want to tell you my travel plan. ! want to go to Henan with my parents this summer vacation(暑假). We want to go there by train. I want to go to Shaolin Temple(寺) and learn kung fu there. My father wants to climb the mountains. He thinks it's great. My mother wants to draw pictures. She thinks it's exciting. I think we will have fun there.

    Hello, everyone. Do you know the Spring Festival? I like it very much. At the Spring Festival, I often wear new clothes and have a big dinner with my family. In the evening, we watch TV and make dumplings. Most Chinese people like eating dumplings. I like eating them too. At night, we go outside to look at the lanterns and set off fireworks(放烟花). It is wonderful.

    It is a rainy day. Little Tom can't go out. He goes into the kitchen. Mum is at the table. She has got a large album(相册) and some cards. "What are those, Mum?" asks Tom. "They're postcards," says Mum. "Collecting postcards is my hobby." Tom walks into the study. Dad is at the desk. "What are those, Dad?" asks Tom. "This is my stamp collection," says Dad. "I want to collect something, too." Tom thinks and goes to his room. He's got some picture books and some balls. But Tom doesn't like them. He opens his box. There are lots of model planes in it. Tom feels very happy. "Wow! Now I can collect model planes."

Dear Amy,

    I know you collect stamps, so I send you these Chinese stamps. I hope you will like them. China made its first stamp in 1878. The first stamp is of a very big dragon. Behind the dragon, there are clouds(云) and waves( 波浪).. People all over the world like collecting stamps from China. Chinese stamps are famous because they are very beautiful. They also show(展示) China's history(历史)，people, places and animals. Many stamps in China are children's paintings(绘画). People like these stamps because the paintings show Chinese children's works(作品). I like collecting Chinese stamps. I have got lots of them. Please write to me soon.

Yours,

Lingling

    Today is Wednesday. An American student will visit our school with his parents this morning. They got to Wuhan by plane yesterday evening. The student's name is Tom. He is a primary school student in New York. He is in Class 2, Grade 6. He likes sports and music very much. And he likes Chinese very much. He can tell some short stories in Chinese. They will visit our school library and teaching building in the morning. We'll have a party with Tom and his parents in our school this evening. We'll have a very good time, I think.

    I'm David. I'm making a list of the things I like doing. I always ride my bicycle to school, and I never go to school by bus. I always read books after I finish my homework. I sometimes play chess with my grandfather in the evening. On the weekend, I always play the piano in the morning. And I often go to the supermarket with my mother in the afternoon. Sometimes, I go swimming in the pool with my friends. I always eat fruit and vegetables, and I never eat fast food. Fast food is not good for our health.
