Presentation
Dear Jenny，
Today is March 1. Spring has arrived in Shijiazhuang. The temperature was 10℃ this morning. This afternoon, it reached 15℃. It was quite warm and the air was fresh. I need neither my heavy winter coat nor my boots now!
On my way to school this morning, I saw some winter jasmine blossoming. Here, people believe the blossom of this flower always tells the coming of spring, so we call winter jasmine “the welcoming spring flower”．
The days are getting longer and the sun rises earlier in the morning. The warm sunshine feels good after the cold winter days. Every morning, I see lots of people exercising in the park. Some practice Tai Chi. Others sing and dance. Children run around or play on the swings.
We will have a school basketball game next week. My class is also planning a field trip to the countryside. We will plant trees, enjoy the beautiful flowers and play games. Wow! I can’t wait.
