Dear Grandma,
How are you? I hope you are feeling well and your leg is improving. Can you walk a bit now? Is your neighbour, Mrs Lu, bringing you enough books to read? I hope so. You’d love our school library, Grandma. There are so many books on all kinds of subjects. The other day I found a book about engineering. I couldn’t really understand it but I hope to learn more about this topic sometime. This term I have three new subject classes, so I think I’ll tell you about them.
I study biology. It is a very interesting subject. I’m learning all about the human body, where everything is and what it does. Did you know that we have a kissing muscle? It’s called ‘orbicularis’ and it’s a circle muscle that closes your mouth and moves your lips forward. I love biology. It’s so interesting! Another new subject is religion (宗教). I didn’t think I would like this one, but actually it is very interesting to hear how different people worship (崇拜). We are learning about lots of religions from all over the world, not only Asia. My other new subject is Spanish. It’s really difficult to learn a new language but I know it will be useful for me in the future, if I want to travel around the world. Spanish is one of the official languages of the European Union and the United Nations. I’ve learnt that Spanish is not only spoken in Europe but in South America too. Countries like Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Mexico also speak Spanish. You know I’ve always wanted to go to Mexico, so if I can speak Spanish it would be really useful.
Did you study these subjects when you were at school? I suppose subject choice changes over time, doesn’t it? I’ll come to visit you again in the next holiday, which I think is in eight weeks’ time. I’ll bring you some of my new books if you like. I hope you can write back soon and tell me all the village news. I miss you very much.
Lots of love,

下面是李鸣的笔友Kate写来的一封介绍英国人用餐特点的电子邮件,请认真阅读短
文。并按信息表的项目要求填写信息。
Dear Li Ming, How is everything going with you? Now let me tell you something about three meals in our country. We know people here are different from people of many other countries. English breakfast is usually a very big meal of fried eggs, bread, cakes, tomatoes, tea, coffee and fruit. But we often eat a quick lunch only sandwiches and a cup of coffee. Children at school can have a hot meal of meat or fish. We usually have our dinner of beef or fish with vegetables from 7 p.m. To 9 p.m., and if we have dinner with friends, it can last very late at night. On weekends, we like to have meals with all the family members. We always begin with soup or snacks, then we eat chicken, beef, with potatoes, vegetables and many other things such as salad and fruit. We also like food from other countries, especially food from France, China, Italy and India. What about your eating habits? Could you tell me something about what you eat in your country? And tell me some table manners. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours, Kate |
