Dear Sandy,

     How are you? It's Saturday today and I have some time to write to you. We're busy from Monday to Friday. We get up at six thirty in the morning. After some exercise we have breakfast. We have five classes a day and the first class starts at eight. Our teachers are strict. They often ask us a lot of questions and some of them are very difficult.

     We do sports at five in the afternoon. We play basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, tennis or pingpong. Some of my classmates like art. They can sing or dance or draw. Sometimes Miss White, our biology teacher, takes us to the zoo(动物园).

     After supper we can watch TV. But we do our homework first. I like math and often do some difficult exercises(练习). So I go to bed at ten thirty. I'm often tired but I like them.

     Please write to me and tell me about yourself.

                                                             Yours, 

Zhou Hong

"Who did this?" Mrs. Green asked with a piece of broken glass in her hand. She had never been so   51  with us. The classroom was so quiet. All students looked at the window except me.

How could I afford to buy such an expensive window? I really didn't want to put up my hand,   55  at last I said. “I did it. I am sorry.” It was not   56  for me to say those words.

Mrs. Green went to the book shelf and took down a book. Then she walked to me. Looking at  57 , I was a little afraid. To my surprise, she said, "I know you like  58   .Here is the book about them.
