Dear Liu Qian,
I’m sorry to hear that you feel distressed at your new class. I really understand you.
One reason, I think, is that you might be too shy to talk confidently with our classmates. Maybe you are afraid that they will make fun of your accent. So, it is no wonder you feel lonely at times. Here are things we can do to deal with the problem.
To begin with, try practising more Putonghua by answering the teachers’ questions in class. Secondly, sharing learning experience with our classmates frequently is a good way to make new friends. Also, I’ll invite you to more class activities and intoduce my friends to you. Hopefully, these will be helpful to you.
Looking forward to you adapting to the new school life as soon as possible.
YYours,
Li Hua

After spending a term in Spain, I have been trying to work out which common impressions on Spain have some truth in them and which don't. ____1____.
Spain is always warm and sunny. This is not true. The city I stayed in, which is in central Spain, often becomes colder than London in winter. However, the city receives little rain all year round and gets very hot in summer. ____2____ In Andalusia of southern Spain, for example, temperature can be cool but pleasant in winter, but becomes very high in summer.
The Spanish love to have fun. ____3____ The Spanish people I meet tend to be very warm and open. Spaniards love to celebrate life through different festivals throughout the year. As well as religious festivals, they celebrate others such as La Tomatina, a festival in Valencia where people throw tomatoes at each other.
____4____This is true. Both locals and tourists enjoy watching Flamenco shows just as much, especially in Andalusia. It is also possible to see them in Madrid and Barcelona, but they tend to be more for tourists. I recommend seeing a Flamenco show in Cadiz or Jerez de la Frontera. The flamenco in Cadiz takes on a more cheerful style. Maybe this is because the people of Cadiz live by the sea and have access to beautiful sandy beaches.
Spain is a fascinating country, in which you are sure to have lots of fun. I find that a lot of the common impressions on Spain hold some truth.____5____ Spanish culture is very complex and the traditions and culture, as well as food and weather, can vary between regions.
A.Spain is famous for its Flamenco.
B.Here’s what I have discovered so far.
C.But the country is not limited to them.
D.I have seen a lot of evidence that this is true.
E. The following are correct impressions on Spain.
F. Southern Spain tends to be warmer than northern Spain.
G. Northern Spain is colder in summer and also colder in winter.

Dear classmates,
It’s a great honor for me to give you a speech. Given the fact that you have helped us a lot, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to you.
As we know, we have a two-week study here, from which we have benefited a lot. We are deeply impressed by your warm welcome and hospitality. It is your hospitality and warm welcome that make us feel at home. Furthermore, exposed to foreign language and culture, we now have a better understanding of British culture and customs.

How time flies. It’s time to say goodbye. I welcome all of you to our school. Hopefully, we can have a further exchange of thoughts and ideas.
Stay-at-home or working mom
Nowadays, there is a heated discussion: Which is worthwhile, being a full time working or a stay-at-home mum Readers share their opinions and you're welcome to add yours.
Catherine (China)
I love being a stay-at-home mom. In the beginning it was truly rough for me from being a workaholic(工作狂) to staying at home. Yet, I did not want my child to face growing up with both parents at work. So after discussing it with my husband, we decided that I would be the one to stay at home. Now, our daughter is soon to be 3 years old, and has an amazing personality. It's not for everyone but it is very rewarding in the long term.
Sassy(Canada)
Taking care of children is a temporary job, and children will grow up and leave. The longer women are out of the workplace, the harder it is to enter it. Women need to realize and accept that you do not want to be dependent on anyone for basic food, clothes and shelter. It has been hard to work and take care of my kids but I make it work.
Cynthia (US)
Some days I think we shouldn't give up on our careers. And some days I'm jealous of the moms who get to stay home or at least work part time. I'm the only one that supports the family, so there will never be an option for me. I have the career and title I've always wanted but now I can't help but think it's at the expense of precious time with my family.
Celina (US)
Being a stay-at-home mom isn't always easy, but it is worth it! Being there with my children means they are getting the exact love and care I want them to have. We do not have a lot of money, but we've sacrificed to make it possible.
21. What can we learn about Catherine
A. She stayed at home because she was tired about her job.
B. Her husband agreed with her staying at home.
C. Her daughter was very naughty. D. She accustomed herself to staying at home easily.
22. How many working moms in this passage
A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
23. Which one is NOT true
A. Celina feels dissatisfied with the life now.
B. Cynthia has no other choice but to get a job.
C. Sassy is determined to be an independent woman.
D. Catherine thinks that being a stay-at-home mom is worthwhile.
