Dear Lily,
I am so glad to know that you are coming to Dalian. I can’t wait to see you. People usually say the best time to come to Dalian is in summer, but I think winter is the best time for you because we have Spring Festival in winter. I hope you can stay at my home and spend the festival with my family. I’m sure that’ll be very exciting. I work hard and I have made much progress in English, especially in listening and speaking. I thini I can talk with you freely when you come to Dalian. I am looking forward to seeing fresh seafood.
As soon as autumn comes, the leaves turn red in Xiangshan. You had better go to visit Beijing. You may not only climb up to the Great Wall but also walk around the Summer Palace.
If you like the freezing weather in winter. You may go on a trip to the northeast of China. You may become interested in asking on the mountains covered with heavy snow and watching all kinds of beautiful statues made of ice.
In different seasons you can enjoy different sceneries in different you soon.
Yours， Wang Fang
Dear James,
Thanks for your email. You asked for some advice on how to be a good visitor to a Chinese home. Let me tell you.
First, you should try to be on time. Don’t arrive too early or late. Second, you may bring a present to a Chinese family, such as a bottle of wine or some candy for the children. Third, the host or hostess may help you bring food at dinner, thank them and enjoy it. If you really don’t like it, tell them in a polite way. Finally, Chinese people enjoy chatting during and after dinner. Try to enjoy the talk. Remember, when in Rome do as the Romans do!
Yours, Li Xiao
Dear Sally,
How are you? I think you don’t know me much. Now let me introduce myself.
I’m a quiet girl with long and black hair. Sometimes I wear a pair of glasses. I don’t have big eyes but they are bright.
I like sports, such as swimming and running. I think it can keep me healthy. I like reading books as well. When I read a good book, I nearly forget everything around me. It gives me courage and sometimes makes me sad.
I often feel stupid when I get bad marks and I feel angry with myself. I feel thankful to my mother because she always encourages me.
Please write to me. Best wishes!
Love from, Helen
China is a beautiful country. You can enjoy many different wonderful sceneries no matter when you come here.
When spring wind blows, you can go to Guilin. It’s famous for its most beautiful rivers and mountains in the world. When you walk among the Stone Forest, you may see the strange shapes of stones. The best place to visit in summer is Dalian because the weather here is neither too dry nor too hot. You may lose yourself in swimming in the cool sea as well as feeding on yourself all kinds of
places. Dear Maria,
I am very happy to help you to learn Chinese well. Here is some of my advice. Firstly, you should try to remember eight to ten Chinese words every day. Write them on a piece of paper, and say them when you see them. Secondly, try to read Chinese books or see Chinese films as often as possible. It’s a good way to practice your listening. Thirdly, try to make Chinese friends so that you can speak Chinese with them easily. Fourthly, how about learning Chinese songs? It can help you remember Chinese words. I hope my advice will help you.
Yours, Yu Hua
How to Be a Good Learner
Everyone wants to study well. To be a good learner, I think good learning habits are necessary.
First, it’s very important for us to listen to the teacher carefully and take down some notes. After class, we should review the lessons, because we can’t remember and understand everything in class. Second, when we are tired, we’d better go outside to do sports to relax.
Above all, we need to work hard and never give up. I hope all of us will become good learners.
Xian Xinghai is one of the greatest composers of classical and traditional music. He was born in Macau, China in 1905 and studied in Paris. He is famous for his song “The Yellow River”. He wrote it in 1939 in only six days. The music describes China to the rest of the world, and his songs have been popular for over 60 years. Unluckily, he died young, in 1945. However, people like his music very much and call him “People’s Musician”.
My Favourite Music
My name is Mike. I like music very much. Among all kinds of music, I like pop music best. Angela Chang and Jay Chou is my favourite singers. I like all their songs.
Among all the songs, I like “Over the Rainbow”, “Invisible Wings”, “Far Away” and “White Windmills” best. I often listen to them on my MP3 player.
When I listen to these songs, I feel quite happy, relaxed and less lonely.
