Lesson 14a A LETTER TO A FRIEND
Dear Liying,How time flies!
This is already my seventh week at college.
We are very busy here and life is very interesting.
There are so many new things to learn.
We have English lessons every day and I like them very much.
We also study Chinese and World History.
After class we have all kinds of activities.
Sometimes we work on the college farm.
On Saturday afternoon we usually have our class meeting.
Sometimes we listen to a report.
On Saturday evening there is a film or a dance.
Autumn is the best season in Beijing.
The days are warm and sunny.
We are planning an outing for next Sunday.
How are you?Are you still busy with the harvest?
Please write to me soon and tell me about your life as a teacher.
Yours ever,Wu Ming
