Dear Michael,
You want to know sthe changes about my hometown. You know, great changes have taken place since 60 years ago.
In the past, the living conditions were very poor. There were not many buses or cars, and the roads were narrow. Usually, a big family was crowed into a small, dark house. Most families couldn’t get enough food. The communications were simple and slow. People kept in touch with their friends and relatives far away mainly by letter or telegram.
Thanks to the government, our hometown has developed rapidly in recent years. The living conditions are much better and more comfortable. The roads are wide. Some people have their own cars. Most of the people have lived in big new houses. Quite a few adults have mobile phones. Because of many good policies, I think our lives will become better and better.
With the development of the Internet, many people are used to shopping online. It has become a fashion in our daily life. Some of us students also join the group. Shopping online has many advantages. Just by a click of the mouse, you can buy what you’re interested in without going outdoors. You can avoid getting tired and being trapped in the crowded people and cars and save time. When shopping online, you can choose from more varieties of goods, whose prices are generally lower.
Every coin has two sides. Its disadvantages are obvious, too. On the one hand, it’s very easy for you to buy goods different from the pictures you see on the Internert. On the other hand, shopping online may cause people to buy goods that are not badly needed. That’s a waste of money.
I am Li Hua. I am in Grade Nine this year. My life has changed a lot in the past few weeks. I used to get up at seven in the morning. But now I get up at six and read English for half an hour every morning. I used to watch TV and go to bed at 9:30 in the evening. But now I have to keep doing homework until 11:00 in the evening. I used
to play tennis in my free time. But now I have to spend all my free time studying. I really miss my old days.
Recently I made a survey about the use of the electronic dictionary. My classmates think that the electronic dictionary is useful and convenient. It can also help to save time of looking up the words. The parents think the electronic dictionary is easy to carry and it’s not too expensive. Most families can afford it. But my English teacher doesn’t think we shoud use it, because she thinks its explanations for words are too simple. In my opinion, the electronic dictionary will make us lazy and we shouldn’t use it!
Yours, Li Ping

parents
In my opinion, I have too many rules at home. My parents never allow me to go out with my friends at night. They don’t allow me to choose my own clothes, either. And they pay too much attention to my exam results. I think my parents don’t quite understand me.
However, I try my best to understand them. Although they don’t allow me to make my own decisions and give me too much presure, I know that it is because they really love me and want me to have a bright future.
In order to keep a good relationship with my parents, I study hard and listen to them. I talk with them as friends, and always tell them my troubles. I also help them do some housework.
