    This is my bed room. There are two windows in it. Near the window there are some red flowers. A map of China is on the wall. You can see four shoes and a basketball under my bed. There are trousers and a coat on the bed. Many school books are on my desk. And there are three lights in my bedroom. One is on my desk, and the other two are near my bed.

Dear Grandma,

    Thank you for the new shorts. They are cool!

    It's hot in Beijing. It's sunny too. I can wear my shorts and T-shirt. I have a new jacket. My old jacket is too small. I want to buy a hat. It is fifty Yuan. It's too expensive. What's the weather like at the farm? Is it warm? How many new ducks are there?

Love,

John

    I'm Tom. I think English is very interesting. So I study English very well. Now, I will tell you how I study English well.

    Firstly, I listen carefully in class. I always answer the teacher's questions quickly and fluently (流畅地). I like to speak English with my classmates. Secondly, at home, I read texts and spell the words. Sometimes, my mother and my father help me to spell the words. I watch English programme (节目) on TV. And I listen to English tapes twice a day. The most exciting moment in my house is the English conversation time. The family all talk happily, and I can learn a lot of new words. Thirdly, my mother brings me to English corner (英语角) every weekend, and I love to talk with foreigners (外国人)。

    I love English so that I can study English well. Do you like English? How do you study English well?
