6. My name is Li Hua. I was born in Dalian, Liaoning Province in February 1986. I started school in 1992 when I was seven. I studied in Guangming Primary School from 1992 to 1998. After that I went to No. 6 Middle School of Dalian and graduated this summer. The main subjects I studied at school included Chinese, maths, English, physics, chemistry and computer. I like English and computer best and I am very good at them. Last year I won first prize in the school computer competition. In my spare time I enjoy listening to popular music and collecting stamps. My favorite sports are swimming in summer and skating in winter.

7. Feb. 20, 2004 Dear Alice, How nice to hear from you. You want to know what is going on in schools in china? Now I will tell you about it. In the past, exam-oriented education forced us to listen to our teachers while taking notes in class. We did all kinds of exercises without end, though it was 5o’clock in the afternoon. After supper, we had to continue our exercises far into the night. Now, quality-oriented education has made our life colourful. We are active in class. In order to train the ability, we often do research on/into study.Sometimes one of us teaches ourselves. We have various outside activities, such as singing, dancing, English corner and taking computer

8. lessons. Basketball and football are our favourite sports. In the evening we can watch news on TV, do experiments by ourselves and discussions about our subjects. Please make sure that our school life is getting more and more colourful and interesting. Best wishes. yours, Li Hua

9. Today more and more people care for the problem of smoking. On that day, nobody is allowed to smoke, because smoking is polluting the air, also it’s harmful to the people’s health and will cause lung cancer. I hope you should make a plan to get rid of the bad habit. It’s our hope that we all take an active part in the activity. I’m sure you’ll succeed in giving up smoking.

10. I wonder whether/if it will be fine tomorrow. Whether she is married I don’t know. I don’t know whether to stay or go. The question is whether people will buy it. The question whether the Prime Minister should resign must be decided soon. Everything depends on whether you agree with us. Whether my parents agree or not, I will study abroad.
