Writing
Sample writing:
My favorite singer is Jay Chou (Zhou Jielun). It took him a few years to become famous. While Jay wrote songs for other pop singers, he also learned recording and sound mixing.
His first album was released in 2000, and since then, he has released about one album per year. His albums have enjoyed great success in many countries, and his songs are popular with listeners of all ages.
I like his music very much. It is pop music, but it has a mix of other kinds of music, such as R&B, rap, and rock. Many of his songs are about the world we live in. One of my favorite songs is Dao Xiang, which encourages people not to give up even when life is difficult.
I feel happy and full of energy when I listen to his songs. I have introduced my best friend to Jay’s songs, and he enjoys the songs, too!

Growing Up with Good Books
My dear friends,
Reading is very important. We can get knowledge through reading. It can not only open our minds, but also make us cleverer and happier. Our study can be improved if we read more good books. The more we read, the more we will learn, and the brighter our future will become.
However, some students spend much time in listening to music, watching TV or going online to play games.
So I would like to suggest that everyone should read more books, especially read classics so that we are able to spread our traditional Chinese culture to the world. Let’s start reading now. And let it become a part of our life.

Country is a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. Nashville, Tennessee is the home of country music. Many songs these days are just about modern life in the US, such as the importance of money and success, but not about belonging to a group. However, country music brings us back to the “good old days” when people were kind to each other and trusted one another. It reminds us that the best things in life are free — laughter, friends, family, and the beauty of nature and the countryside.
乡村音乐是来自美国南部各州的一种传统音乐。田纳西州的纳什维尔是乡村音乐之乡。现在的很多歌仅仅是关于美国现代生活的,例如金钱和成功的重要性,但不是关于属于一个群体的。然而,乡村音乐把我们带回到了那个时候,人们彼此友善并相互信任的“过去的好时光”。它使我们想起生活中最美好的东西是免费的——笑声、朋友、家人美丽的大自然和乡村。
