i'm glad that you will come to study in our school as an exchange student.you want to learn about our daily life in school. i'd like to take monday for example.
as boarding school students, we get up at 5:40 am, doing morning running and reading until 7:00 am. four classes, chinese, maths, physics and english, are arranged from 7:40 to 12:00. there are three classes lasting from 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm. school is over at 5:00 pm, which is the time to throw ourselves into the after-school activities, like doing sports or reading in the library. at night, having finished our homework, we will stay in the dormitory, sweeping, washing clothes and chatting. then, we'll go to bed before 10:00 pm.
though we are busy, we feel fulfilled at school every day.
today, a high school delegation from the uk came to our school to have a cultural exchange activity, which offered us a good opportunity to learn more about each other.

the problem you are facing is quite common among us teenagers. as a student of your age, i quite understand you, and i have some advice for you.
firstly, you should understand that your parents care about you. they often compare you with others perhaps because they want to let you be aware of your disadvantages and help you become better. if you don't like it, you can tell them about your feeling, saying that you feel stressed out. secondly, you can tell them that you have the confidence to improve yourself in some areas. and meanwhile, let them know that you want to be yourself. i believe your parents can understand you and make some changes.
hope what i said above can be of some help to you.
i quite sympathize with you and understand how you feel. to help you save your friendship, here is my advice.
to begin with, having been friends with him for so many years, you should trust him. maybe something happened to him or his family. he probably doesn't want you to get involved in it. so it may be a good idea to give him some time to be alone. finally, you can ask another friend to help find out the reason, which is the key to solving the problem.
i hope these suggestions are helpful and that you and tom are on good terms as before.
i'm glad to learn from your letter that you're going to pay a visit to beijing recently.i'd like to be your guide and give my suggestions for your two-day trip here.

next day, i recommend we go sightseeing in the peking university and tsinghua university, the two most noted universities in china. we'd better visit the forbidden city in the afternoon, so you can appreciate the splendid royal palace.
i'd be happy if my suggestions are helpful to you. and i'm looking forward to your coming.

chengdu, the capital city of sichuan province, is located at the western edge of the sichuan basin and the climate here is pleasant all year round. with abundant natural resources, it is the birthplace of sichuan cuisine, in which the sichuan pepper is the most unique and important spice. besides, there are many tourist attractions worth visiting. for example, the dujiangyan, an irrigation system constructed by the state of qin, contributes to the agricultural development of chengdu. in addition, chengdu is home to giant pandas and i'm sure you will fall in love with them.

believe it or not, now i'm writing to share my traveling experience in guilin with you.it's in guangxi zhuang autonomous region, china, famous for its mountains and waters.
i have been here for five days, during which time not only did i enjoy the fascinating scenery like the magical terraces, unique mountains and clear rivers, but also i tried the traditional weaving of zhuang people. what impressed me most was the spectacular folk-song-singing competition on the lijiang river, which attracted thousands of visitors and locals. guilin enjoys a world-wide reputation for its beautiful scenery, so it's well worth visiting.
i dare say a foreigner failing to guilin hasn't really been to china. i strongly recommend you visit it after finishing your study.

dujiangyan, with a long history of over 2000 years, is an ancient irrigation system situated in the chengdu plain, sichuan province. once the plain was often flooded by the min river which rushed down from the min mountains. therefore, li bing, one of the governors for the state of qin, together with his son, headed the construction of the irrigation system, dujiangyan. it not only acts as a way to prevent flood and irrigate the crops but also a kind of transportation. now it's listed as a world heritage site as well as a aaaaa tourist attraction. meanwhile, it's the oldest irrigation system in the world that is still in use today.

as we can see, science and technology have been deeply influencing our life. take our school for example.
now there are several hd-cameras monitoring the whole campus in case of emergency or school bullying. at meal time, we can watch tv news in the dinning hall, learning the latest international and domestic events.
not only can our teachers use multimedia equipment to make their classes more lively, but also they can mark papers on the computer, which greatly improves the efficiency of paper-scoring.
additionally, we can do many things conveniently, such as paying by alipay, getting food by card, going to school by shared bike and so on.
in a word, it is the development of science and technology that makes such a comfortable and convenient life available to us.

i'm li hua, a student from class one, senior three. it's my honor to be here totalk about protecting cultural relics.
as is known to us all, cultural relics are treasures that our ancestors created for the whole nation.they are meaningful and valuable to all of us. once destroyed, they will never come back. therefore, it's our responsibility to protect them.
what should we do to protect cultural relics? on the one hand, i think we should improve people's awareness of protecting them, letting them know that destroying cultural relics means destroying our culture. on the other hand, every one of us should live by a principle that by no means will we sell or buy cultural relics.
in a word, let's make efforts to protect cultural relics together.
i'm glad to hear from you.it's true that people in my hometown have become richer than ever before through the development of modern agriculture and i'd like to share their recipe with you.
to be honest, my hometown used to be very poor. in response to the government's policy to enrich people, we have grown organic vegetables and fruit, which are sold throughout our country with the help of the internet. actually, what benefits us most isthe ecotourism that we have developed to attract visitors to experience the joy of the harvest.additionally, we also raise fish, goats, pigs and cattle with vegetables, whose meat is more delicious and better sold than those fed with fodder.
learning that you are interested in chinese folk art, especially the weaving art, i'm glad to tell you something about it.
the weaving art, dating back to over 1,000 years, is one of the chinese native arts passed down by craftsmen from one generation to the next. since the weaving art is popular among common people, the weaving materials are mainly from nature. bamboos, silk threads, or some other vine plants are usually used to make chairs, pack baskets, curtains, baskets, decorations and so on.
chinese knotting is generally regarded as one of the most outstanding decorations of the weaving art. the reason is that it's not only a beautiful decoration with various shapes, it also symbolizes good luck and prosperity.
here is a book on chinese weaving art for you. i hope the book can help you know more about it.
