As the students of modern times, we have colorful school life. Everyday, we learn plenty of knowledge on different subjects in class. And our school organizes many extracurricular activities in order to help us put what we have learned into practice. After class, we take part in various activities, like playing football, basketball, badminton, etc. They are good for our health. Besides, we are able to join in the lectures organized by literature association, music group, art group, where you can enjoy famous works, learn to play instruments or draw pictures. Also, there are chances for us to use computers in the laboratory and talk with some foreign teachers about anything we are interested in at the English corner. Now, most of us may operate computers freely and have a good command of spoken English.

In addition to the after-class activities mentioned here, there are still many others such as sports meeting, debate, social investigation, etc. All those activities make our school life attractive and interesting. We will take advantages of the experience in the future. Step Ⅱ

Thanks for asking me about my school life. I usually get up at 6 o’clock. After having my breakfast, I leave home at 7 o’clock. I usually go to school by bike. The

journey takes about 10 minutes.

We learn many subjects, for example, Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, geography, history and so on. My favorite subjects are English and history. English is very important and history is the most interesting. But I don’t like to learn physics. I think it is too difficult for me to master it and it is boring.

The first lesson starts at 7:30, which is the time for individual study, reading Chinese or English loudly. After that, we have another four lessons in the morning. At 10 o’clock, we begin to do some morning exercises. School is over at 12 o’clock.

I usually have lunch at 12:30. After that, I usually have a nap. After school, I always do my homework first. After dinner, I often prepare for the next day’s lessons. Sometimes, I surf the Internet, reading the passages online. Sometimes I watch some TV programs, like sports news. I don’t go to bed until 11:00 pm.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I stay at school and go to football training given by the football club. I think it’s an exciting sport. I like it very much and I play in the school team twice a week. I think I have a busy, colorful and happy school life.

Best wishes, Zhang Si

Hello, my name is Wang Mei. I’m 15 years old and I live in Beijing. I’m also in tenth grade in Senior High school. My favorite subjects are English and Chinese. I like my new school very much.

I’ve received your email, in which you ask some questions about my memories of my first year at school. I’m very pleased to give you my answers.

My first memory of school was the fairly big building, the entrance of which was typically wide with some important pictures of historical figures. It was the place where I was most affected, since I re

ally started to grow up there. It was like my second home, and I went through so many different emotions there.

My first best friend is one of my classmates called Wang Lin. He is sincere, kind, and sociable. We have a lot in common and we both have the same kind of humor. We always support each other. We usually study hard and discuss some questions together.

My favorite activity in first grade was playing ping-pong. The reason why I liked it was that it got me quite excited and made my reflection quick. Also, it was quite a creative game because the secret to playing it well was to use variety of strokes.

My first teacher was Miss Zhang Guoyan. She looked very ordinary except that she was beautiful inside. She was gentle and friendly. The influence she had on me was very powerful. She taught me that I could be very disciplined and hard working but still be very kind. Step Ⅳ
