How's it going? Are you busy with your study these days?
I’ve been back at school 1 nearly four weeks.I'm 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” 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 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'll 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 volunteers in our school.After school, we take turns to go to the streets near our 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.
