Dear friends,
How time flies! I am Li Jin, president of the Student Union of Chenguang Middle School. It's my great privilege to be here, share this moment with our fellow friends from the UK.
During the two-week activities, we sure exchanged our ideas on learning, ways of life, PE and cultures. One of the highlight was the sports meeting where we competed for each other in the basketball match. The past two weeks have witnessed our grow and friendship. It is not only your enthusiasm but also your teamwork and good spirits which impress us. After the two-week exchange activities, we now have better understanding of each other on a whole new level. But I sincerely hope our friendship will last forever. Wish you all the best!
Thanks you.
