How are you? I’m living with my family in Changsha. Today is Saturday. It’s 7:00 p.m. here. Our family are all at home and our dinner is over. I’m writing an e-mail to you. My father is watching a basketball game on TV. Basketball is his favorite sport. My mother is washing the dishes. My sister Li Ling is playing the piano in her room. She plays it for three hours every day. My pet dog Dudu is sleeping under the table. Outside, I can hear cars and buses coming and going. There are also some children playing soccer on the grass. It’s a noisy but happy evening.

I know the time here is twelve hours ahead of（提前） that in New York. What are your family doing now? Please write to me.

Yours,

Li Ming

How are you? Long time no see. I miss you very much! My father told me that you were sick. I know you got a cold last week. I’m worried about you and I’m very sad.

It is Wednesday. I’ll have a long school holiday on Friday, so I’m going to visit you this weekend. I’ve bought a beautiful scarf for you. Because the weather is very cold in winter, I hope the scarf will keep you warm, I bought the scarf with Mom last week. I spent my pocket money buying it. Mom and I think that the scarf is nice. The scarf is not expensive, but I hope you will love it.

Take care of yourself, or you may get sick again. Oh! It’s time to sleep. I am looking forward to seeing you a few days later. See you!

Love,

Carmen

Hello! My name is Ben. I’m a student in an online (线上的) school. I’m never late for school because I have lessons at home.

I get up at 7:30 every morning. After half an hour, I eat breakfast with my family and then I play with my dog before my classes. At 9:00 in the morning, I log (登录) into the online school to have lessons. I learn many subjects online, such as (例如) math, history, science and art. My favorite subject is science. I think it’s interesting. After class, I can talk with my teachers on the phone. They are friendly to me. After lunch, I usually read a book or help my mum clean the room before afternoon lessons.

There are also a lot of after-school activities (活动). I’m good at writing, and I am in an online club. It’s a great way to make friends. I have a lot of homework, too. And I always do my homework after class. Then I have some free time to play with my friends and family in the evening.

For me, online learning is a good choice (选择).
