Dear Tom,
How are you? I’m in a new school in China this term. And I’m writing to you in my school now. This school is big and nice. There are more than two thousand students in my school. I like the teachers. They are all kind to me. And they can speak English well. So there is no problem to talk with them. My classmates are very friendly. They teach me Chinese and I teach them English.
We have many subjects at school. I like Chinese, music, PE and more. And my favorite subject is art. It’s really interesting. And my art teacher is very fun. He can draw well. I don’t like math. It’s too difficult. After school, I like playing basketball with my new friends. What a fun time to play with them!
We have no classes on weekends. I often go to movies with my parents. Sometimes I stay at home and watch TV. My parents want me to learn Chinese. Sometimes I go shopping. The food is so delicious in Chengdu. I like the food. And the people are very friendly. I love China. I love Chengdu.
Please write to me soon!
Yours                                      Jack

One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?
In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor.
The story shows that there are a few culture differences between Britain and American, though the British and Americans both speak English.
