Dear Carla, How are you? Welcome to No. 1 Middle School next Friday. In the morning, our teachers and students will give you a warm welcome when you get to our school. Next you will have a Chinese folk music class in the music room. I'm sure you'll like a piece of music named Erquan Yingyue. Then our art teacher will teach you how to make Chinese paper cutting. The most common pictures are flowers, animals and things about Chinese history. They are very beautiful. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck. In the afternoon, you will watch a movie called Monkey. The Monkey King or Sun Wukong is the main character in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West, which was written by Wu Cheng'en. I think you will like it. Have you eaten Chinese food before? In the evening, you will enjoy delicious Beijing Duck. I'm sure you'll have a great time in China. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon. Annie |
I am walking through the winter park where the trees stand cold and bare (光秃秃的). The yellow leaves have fallen to the ground. Now, a group of women gather at the sides of a path. In the cold winter, they're moving their arms and legs to a rhythm (节奏). They are, of course, the dancing aunties.
It seems that if you go to any public space around China, you're likely to see these dancing aunties. When I first came to China, it was one of the first things that annoyed me. That's because in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You won't see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.
Now and again the dancing aunties have hit the headlines (头条新闻). Some people find them annoying. But others respect their right to dance in public. Most of them are middle-aged. They finally have some free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work, and their kids have left.
All in all, I like seeing these women enjoying themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised the whole families. Now it is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.

English is the first language of several countries. However, it has many differences. British, American, and South African English are all spoken differently. In many English language courses, the British and American differences are taught. There are important differences between the two.
Probably the biggest difference between American and British English is the vocabulary. Different words and expressions are used to talk about the same thing. For example, in the United States, people throw their garbage into the trash can. In England, people throw their rubbish into the dustbin. In Britain, people take a lift to the fifth floor. In America, people take an elevator.
American and British grammar can be also different. For example, speakers of British English will ask "What did you do at the weekend?", but Americans usually say "on the weekend." In the United States people usually say "I've gotten a new car.", but in the UK they will say "I've just got a new car."
The pronunciation in American and British English is also different, even when the spelling is the same. The word "tomato"—pronounced "to-mah-to" in British English—is a classic example of this.Vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are three ways English is different in different parts of the world.
Learning all these is not easy, so English learners should just know that they are always there.
