Imagine that you have decided to sponsor Shanshan, an Il-year-old girl from Gansu province whose family cannot afford to keep her at school. Shanshan loves practising English. Write a short letter to her in English. Hello Shanshan,
My name is Xiao Guang and I’m really pleased that I can help you stay at school. I’ve heard that you love practising English so I’m also practising my English in this letter!
Let me tell you a bit about myself. I’m 16 years old and I go to No. 2 Middle School in Beijing. My favourite subjects at school are maths and science. I have a great group of friends that I play soccer with at every lunchtime. In my spare time I like going to the movies and reading.
I live with my mum and dad in an apartment on the fifteenth floor. I have two sets of grandparents. My mum’s parents live far away in Shandong, but I see my other grandparents often as they live near us.
I’d love to get a letter from you and to learn about your life in Gansu. Yours sincerely, Xiao Guang
