What do people outside of China know about our country? Pandas? The Great Wall? To many people, kung fu, or martial arts (武术), is one of the most well-known parts of Chinese culture. The film Kung fu Panda made more people know about China and also Chinese kung fu and more and more people are interested in it.

Simon's marks have been very high this year. I have been quite pleased with his work. Although he didn't do very well in Form 4, he seems to find Form 5 much easier. He is highly motivated (动机强烈的). I think his excellent performance (表现) is probably because of part of the support (支持) he gets from his parents, who take a lot of interest in his schoolwork and always help him with his homework.
However, Simon doesn't care much for sports and hardly takes part in after-school activities. He is rather shy and finds it difficult to make friends at school. I wish Simon would put as much effort (努力) into his social life as he does into his studies.
