Recently I found a donation box in my neighborhood. People come to them when they have old clothes, bags, newspapers and books donate. This box, I think, was of great significance. My mother buys for me a lot of clothes, and I grow so fast. Much clothes don’t fit for me any longer. I’ve got no ideas about how to deal with the clothes which are real new and still in good condition. However, with this donation box, I can help those people in need. In a word, I do think it is a good idea what lights up our life and makes the world the better place to live in.

I really can’t thank you very much for your invitation.

I do want to accept it and take this opportunity to introduce traditional Chinese painting to foreign friends, but I’m sorry to inform you that I can’t. The reason is because I am busy preparing me for the coming College Entrance Examination. As for the introduction speech, I strongly recommend my friend Anna, which is the most suitable choice to take my place on next Sunday. She begun to learn painting at an early age. She also has good knowledge of traditional Chinese paintings. Besides, her active personality and perfect speaking English will help make your activity a success.

Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absent and all the best wishes to you.

Yours,

Li Hua

Last Monday where we had a class meeting, our class teacher informed us activities with theme “national flag in my heart”. These activities organizing across China aimed to further our understanding of the national flag and promoted our patriotism (爱国主义). Fully aware of its significant, we couldn’t wait to immediate get started. Over the next several days, we talked about topic from various aspects. We went through books on their birth. We also connected online stories of the flag in recent years but realized what it symbolizes for every Chinese. At the weekend, we recorded what we had learned and   presented our work on the blackboard.
