My school, which lies in the northwest of Sichuan Province, has a history of more than 60 years and is considered to be the best here. Every year most of the graduates are admitted to key universities for further education. The beauty of our school is beyond description. What impressed me most was the peaceful campus when I first stepped into the school. There are teaching building, lab buildings and libraries, which are surrounded by trees and flowers. Moreover, we have a very big playground where we can do diverse sports and play games. The teachers are all patient and responsible. More importantly, their method of teaching is nothing like that of my previous teachers, so that I’m pretty sure I

am going to make great progress with those devoted teachers teaching me. My fellow classmates are intelligent as well as hard-working. We are quite relaxed with each other. I love my new school and I firmly believe I will enjoy my life here with all these helpful students and enthusiastic teachers around. Yours, Li Hua
