I have worked in Shenyang for two months. I seldom meet Westerners in the street. But on TV, I see many foreigners in Shenyang. I am a little lonely and I really hope to make friends with English speakers. Although I study Chinese hard, my Chinese is poor and I can’t communicate in Chinese very well.
However, Chinese people usually smile and wave to me on the bus and at any other places. In the street, the most common conversation goes like this: A Chinese person, “Hello.”
I, “Hello.”
The Chinese，“Where are you from?”
“England.”
“Oh, I see!” and then if his vocabulary is exhausted(耗尽的), “Bye-bye”. This can happen five or six times on any trip around town. How I hope to see a Westerner at that time.

Hello, my name is Peter. I study at a school in the UK. School days usually begin at 9 a.m. in the UK. So I usually go to school at 8.45 a.m. School is over(结束) at 3.30 p.m. So I have enough time to go to clubs.

I’m good at all my lessons. But my favorite lesson is Cooking. All my teachers are very friendly and helpful. I never go home for lunch, I have lunch at school with my classmates. After lunch, we often go to the school field. Sometimes we play ball games, sometimes we just sit under the trees, reading or chatting. Sometimes we also go to the Computer Center to listen to music or send e-mails(邮件) to our friends.

I like my school and have a wonderful time at school every day.

假如你是Mary的好朋友，她在生活中遇到了一些问题，并写了一封信向你求助，请你给她回一封信，回信因涉及到来信的每一个问题，词数80左右。
Dear  Kathy,
I have some problems and I need your help.
I was good at English in the past, but now I am in Grade 3 and I find English is getting more and more difficult. Now I am facing a big test. How should I study for the English test?
Another problem is that now I am not allowed to watch TV. My mother said It was a waste of time, but I don’t think so. I think It’s a good way to have a rest. How can I solve this problem?
The last one is that I used to be thin, but now I am getting fatter and fatter. I am afraid to see my old friends, and I am very sad.
I know you always come up with good ideas. Could you help me deal with these problems?
Yours.
Mary
