Question

Dear Kate,

It is very exciting that you are coming to our school so soon.   you arrive, let me introduce to you what our school life is like.

Our school is a good   where we can prepare ourselves well for the future. We have many wonderful teachers who are always ready to   help. Though we pay a lot of attention to how   we do in lessons, getting high scores is not the only reason to study. The     encourage us to try out new ideas and ask questions in class. With their help we have developed all kinds of    in both Arts and Science. Students can choose to         any school clubs they are interested in. We can   choose the subjects that we want to study. Last term I chose American Literature, because I wanted to learn   famous American writers. This term I chose to attend   classes because my father bought me a piano as a birthday present.

By the way, I was elected monitor of my class. Sometimes it can be   to be a monitor, because I have to do a lot of work and attend many meetings. However, being a monitor has taught me a lot, such as   for others and taking responsibilities and so on. When my class was given the title of “Model Class”, I was   than ever before. So being a monitor     an important part in my school life. I’m very pleased with my work.

I love my school and    that you will have a pleasant experience here too. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

Yours

Li Ping
