9. Dear Peter
Autumn is coming. I am very happy to go back to my secondary school.
I am in Grade 8 this term. My classroom is not on the ground floor. It’s on the fourth floor, so I need to go up in a lift.
I like playing with the rubber and chatting with friends when we have a break. Maths is my favourite subject and I often do well in it.
After school, I like to play football. Sometimes I can go to see a film with my classmates.
