As a volunteer teacher, I travelled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn't what I expected. It didn't look like a school at all. The school had only 3 rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and another for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me.

The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave then a test to find out their level. To my surprise, although the test was very easy, over half of them failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.

I am busy preparing lessons, and reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hardworking children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better and we are now good friends.

I have worked in Longzhou for a year now. I'm very happy, and the expeerience has been very useful for me. I love the small village and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.

According to media reports on Wednesday, Zhang Zening, a woman from Nanjing City, East China's Jiangsu Province, has made more than 50 sets of Hanfu, or traditional Chinese costume (服装).

Zhang majored in materials science and engineering when she was in college, and she gave up her job after falling in love with Hanfu. It has been 10 years since Zhang made Hanfu by herself because those of her favorite styles were not for sale. She taught herself painting and costume design, and visited a dozen Chinese cities to explore museums, as well as to draw inspiration from murals (壁画) and literature, before making over 50 different Hanfu from past dynasties.

Zhang said the design of Hanfu was inspired by the murals of past dynasties. "What I did is not only to restore (使复原) a piece of clothing, but more to feel the culture Hanfu possesses, as well as the inspiration and significance (意义) of the mural, which made me very touched and glad," she said.

In July this year, a group of international students from Canada visited Zhang, hoping to work together to restore Hanfu based on murals that have been lost overseas. Zhang is excited about the project, saying, "Even if the national treasures cannot return to the country, restoring Hanfu based on them allows these lost treasures to be seen by more people. It's also a contribution from us young people."

I see all the Spider- Man movies and Spider Man is always my favorite hero (英雄). This isn't because he could do anything. For example, he can't fly, unlike other superheroes, but he fights with bad people all the time. This makes him my favorite superhero.

I also like Peter Parker in the movie. He has the superpower(超能力) when he was just a student. He has to learn to be a common (普通的) person and at the same time, being a superhero is difficult for him, so he has to work hard. In many ways, he's very common. He has many of the same problems like other people. He is very shy. And he can't tell anyone about his story, and this makes him stay away from people.

I think everyone can learn something from Spider Man. He can't always make right decisions (决定), but every time he learns from his mistakes (错误). The important thing is that he always helps people in need. This makes him a true hero.

Hi, Martin

How are you all?

You know I'm going to China soon for a two- week holiday and I'm really looking forward to seeing you. I would like to see some famous places, like Beijing and Suzhou. It's better to learn some history and culture about China during the trip. Please give me some advice so that I can have a perfect holiday.

Lots of love,

Linda

Hi, Linda

What good news! At last you are coming to visit us in China.

I know you are really interested in Chinese history and culture, so I suggest that we visit Xi' an. It's a city with a long history. If we go there, we will get the chance to see the Terracotta Army. It's called the eighth wonder of the world. We can ride bikes around the old city wall. In order to protect the city, Ancient Chinese people started to build it in Ming Dynasty. Grand Tang Dynasty Ever- bright City is a must to go. We can see fantastic shows and taste delicious food there. Xi' an is also a modern city and there are many other interesting places there. I believe we will have fun by taking a city walk there.

Love,

Martin
