Answer 1

【答案】Dear David,

I’m glad that you’re interested in the optional courses in our school. Students in our school are free to choose some special courses according to their interest. There are many courses for them to choose from, such as English drama, or model making. Here is more information.

If you want to improve your oral English, English drama may be the first choice. It is a good chance to practice not only oral English, but also performing skills. What about model making? You will be amazed by the science world and become interested in it.

For me, a painting course can be added, because some of the students like drawing so much. I hope these courses would be helpful and each student would enjoy a bright and colorful school life here!

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua
