Dear Sarah,

    Yesterday we got up very early. We went to the Great Wall by bus. It was very far. It was about three hours by bus. The guide told us the food there was very expensive, so we bought some cakes, juice and apples. We put them in one backpack. Daming took the backpack and I took the camera, because he said he was older and stronger than me.

    When we got to the Great Wall, we saw many people at the entrance(入口). We had to stand in line and waited. It was our turn at last. We began to climb. At first I counted the steps, but soon I couldn't remember the number. It was too high. We stopped to have a rest for several times. At last we got to the top of the Great Wall. We were so excited! We've become real men! We were very happy yesterday!

    I have many friends in my class. They're lovely and interesting. I would like to introduce some of them. Ben is the most talkative boy in our class. Linda is a quiet student. She is good at every subject but she never shows off. Alice is very cute. She's also kind to everyone and she's very friendly. She's always ready to help everyone. Allen is a very tall boy. He is a nice boy and his math is very good. He likes to play football and basketball. He plays basketball very well and he is on our school team. He often says, "Playing basketball is good for our health." I enjoy playing with him because I can learn a lot from him.

    How about your classmates? Do you like them?
