Dear Jenny,

How’s it going? Are you busy with your study these days?

I’ve been back at school   1   nearly four weeks. I am very glad to tell you that great   2   have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we’re asked to “clear our plates（餐盘）” when having our meals and say   3   to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to   __4   the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we   5   the classroom. And our school has opened up （开辟） some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans（豆类）in our   6   time. I think that’ll be very interesting. Maybe I will be able to   7   you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time! What’s more, we have only two classes in the afternoon   8   we have more time for after-school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety（交通安全） volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to go to the streets near school and ask people to   __9   the traffic rules.

I think we are having a different school life now!

Please write back soon and tell   10   more about your school.

Yours,

My grandfather Jack is 96 years old, and he has had an interesting life. He has traveled a lot in his life in the Far East. He visited the Taj Mahal（泰姬陵） in India and the Pyramids in Egypt. He hunted lions in Africa, and rode a camel in the Sahara Desert（撒哈拉沙漠）. He says the most beautiful place he has traveled to is Kathmandu in Nepal（尼泊尔）.
