San Francisco has many museums. You can visit one and learn something new. We have art, science, history and other special museums. Some museums are open every day. Some are only open on certain days. Some museums are expensive, and others are free. But some of the expensive ones have free days. Many museums have websites. The websites usually have information about the things you can see in the museums.
On a museum’s website you can get information about ticket prices and free days. You can also know where the museum is and when it is open. Sometimes you have to click on the words like Visit, Information, or About to find the information. That will be hard work for you.

Dear Jenny,
How’s it going? Are you busy with your study these days?
I’ve been back at school 1 nearly four weeks. I am very glad to tell you that great 2 have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we’re asked to “clear our plates(餐盘)” when having our meals and say 3 to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to __4 the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we 5 the classroom. And our school has opened up (开辟) some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans(豆类)in our 6 time. I think that’ll be very interesting. Maybe I will be able to 7 you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time! What’s more, we have only two classes in the afternoon 8 we have more time for after-school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety(交通安全) volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to go to the streets near school and ask people to __9 the traffic rules.
I think we are having a different school life now!
Please write back soon and tell 10 more about your school.
Yours,
Wang Wei
