----Could you look after my baby while I am away?

Take a class at Dulangkou School, and you’ll see lots of things different from other schools, You can see the desks are not in rows（排）and students sit in groups. They put their desks together so they’re facing each other. How can they see the blackboard? There are three blackboards on the three walls of the classroom!

The school calls the new way of learning “Tuantuanzuo”, meaning sitting in groups. Wei Liying, a Junior 3 teacher, said it was to give students more chances to communicate.

Each group has five or six students, according to Wei, and they play different roles（角色）.There is a team leader who takes care of the whole group. There is a “study leader”who makes sure that everyone finishes their homework. And there is a discipline（纪律）leader who makes sure that nobody chats in class.

Wang Lin is a team leader. The 15-year-old said that having to deal with so many things was tiring.

“I just looked after my own business before,”said Wang. “But now I have to think about my five group members.”

But Wang has got used to it and can see the benefits（好处）now.

“I used to speak too little. But being a team leader means you have to talk a lot. You could even call me an excellent speaker today.”

Zhang Qi, 16, was weak in English. She used to get about 70 in English tests. But in a recent test, Zhang got a grade of more than 80.

“I rarely（很少） asked others when I had problems with my English tests. But now I can ask the team leader or study leader. They are really helpful.”

When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, to send greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really        memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting.

My small hands could       get the mail without using a key! I could never        to see how much I was getting. Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my       . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.

After my family moved back to Singapore, I         going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my       with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we        up to enjoy a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going        the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a small      caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China        sign.

We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe        we were at the highest point of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write         a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard. Three weeks later, I arrived home and       my mailbox. Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.

That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office. I had       the post office all these years. Today I       send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.
