I have a doll for 9 years. And I still like it very much.
When I was a child, my parents were busy with their business. Sometimes they had to work even on weekends, so I had to stay at home alone. I often felt lonely and scared at home. After my aunt knew that, she bought the doll for me. It is a Mickey Mouse. I have talked with it about my happiness and sadness since I was young. And it has become my best friend.
Have you ever been to Changsha? It is one of the most popular cities in China. The people here are very friendly. It is in the southeast of China. I think it is better to visit it in September or October because it is not too hot or too cold. There are a lot of famous places, such as Yuelu Mountain and Orange Beach. Besides, you can find a lot of delicious food here. The most famous food is Stinky Toufu. Welcome to Changsha.
Last week, I got sick. On Wednesday, I had a cold, but I still went to school. On Thursday morning, I had a fever. My mother took me to see a doctor in Renmin Hospital. Then we went back home and I had some chicken soup. My mother said chicken soup was very good. On Friday, I stayed in bed and had a good rest. On Saturday, I felt much better.
Last Saturday morning, my parents went out to visit their friends. After breakfast, I did the dishes. After that, I began to clean the living room. I swept the floor, cleaned the window and took out the rubbish. At around 11:00, I began to cook lunch. When my parents came back home, they saw the clean living room and some delicious food. They were very
happy and said to me, “Dear, you really did a good job! Thank you.”
I’m writing to tell you about a voluntary activity last week. Last Saturday several friends and I went to the People’s Park at about eight o’clock. Then we started to help clean the park. First, we cleaned up the benches. I took us about an hour. Then we picked up rubbish in the park. At last, we swept the floor of the park. At about 12 o’clock, we finished all the work. Though we were a bit tired, we felt very happy when the park became cleaner and nicer.
I have a big problem and hope to get your advice. My desk mate, Zhang Jun, often talks to me in class. Yesterday, in our Chinese class, while Mr Chen was telling an interesting story to us, Zhang Jun kept talking to me. I tried to stop him doing that, but I failed. When Mr Chen found we were talking, he was very angry. He asked us to go to his office after that class.
I do not know what to do. Could you give me some advice?
I know you are upset these days. Here is some of my advice for you.
First, you should understand your parents. They have to work hard because they want your family to live a better life. Second, you could talk to your parents about the problem. Maybe they could stay with you next holiday. Third, you should try to help your parents do some housework, or you could visit your friends and have fun with them. Then you won’t feel bored. What do you think of my advice?
I hope you have a good time.

Animals are people’s friends. But many wild animals are endangered. Their living places are becoming smaller. And many of the wild animals can’t find enough food to eat. At the same time, humans are killing animals for their fur, skin, teeth and meat.
I think people should do something to protect endangered animals. They can build nature reserves and don’t kill animals or eat their meat.

Shanghai is my favourite city in China. It's the biggest cities in China with an area of 6,340square kilometers and a population of 23.48 million. Moreover, Shanghai is the central city of our country. It's the center of economy, technology, industry, finance and trade centre. Shanghai is also an emerging tourist city, with profound modern urban culture and many historical monuments. It has successfully held the 2010 World Expo. It has become an international city with its high reputation in the world. In my opinion, it looks like a highly motivated youth with courage, strong willpower and ambition. I look forward to working in such an energetic city in the future.
