Reading tips

14. Dear Yang Ling
Today I am glad to tell you something about my school life. I study in St. Mark Secondary School in New York .
Our school is not big but very beautiful. There are flowers and lawns(草坪) everywhere. This year, I’ve got six subjects. They are English, Maths, History, Science, PE and an elective course(选修课). I choose “wood”(木工). Last lesson, I made a very beautiful little box. I was so proud(骄傲) of it. I put my little things in it. Our school starts at 9 o’clock . There are 3 classes in the morning and 2 in the afternoon .And we have a reading class every day. Our lunch time is from 12:00 to 12:50. The school ends at 2:10. But usually we do not go home right after that. We go to different clubs.
Sometimes I do sports with my friends at the Sports Club.
I like playing rugby and basketball very much .
We do not have much homework , but we need to do
some surveys . So I often go to the library or
museum to get some information.
Is the secondary school student’s life in China the same as mine? Please me when you are free.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Jim
