Dear Editor,
I’m a middle school student naming Li Ming. I’m writing to tell you something. Recently I’ve notiecd many of my classmates often to go to the cyber cafe (网吧) near our school. The other day I went here, too. I was surprised to see many students doing computer games, seeing films or chatting. Some students were even talking about love affairs online. On my opinion, cyber cafes should be a place where we can find much useful informations. Internet should be a window to the outside world rather than place for games. Internet is good if we make good use it. Otherwise, it will do us great harm. So the local government should take measure to make sure that students use cyber cafes positively.

Most slang word are used more in speaking than in writing. As this reason, few can be found in dictionaries. Most Americans know about 10 000 to 20 000 words. About 1 000 to 2 000 of these words are slang. However, slang words are among those used very often. Slang words are made up of special groups such as workers, and musicians. They are used to describing a new subject, experience or idea. At first, only the member of such special groups understand words they have made up. Later, some of the slang words are used by other people, too. Slang words can be popular for a time, but then forget and not used any more. Students studying a foreign language should be very careful about what words to use but what not. Generally, it is better not use slang words.

Next week I’m going to see my teacher who teaches me English in the middle school. She completed thirty years of teaching and gained rich experience with her work. What lively and interesting her classes were! A way she taught English impressed us very much. I had great difficulty with English grammar just after I entered in the school. It was she who immediately came with help. With her help, I made great progress in English. Once I even got first place in the English examination. I owe my thank to her, my English teacher.

1 lived in this city for a few years, but before that I lived with my family in a farm far away from here. Life is very different between the two places, but I like all of them. In a country it is very quiet since there are not many people, lived around. The car is clean and everything that meets your eyes are beautiful. The people in the country seem friendly and helpfully to their neigh-hours. The food is usually cheap. However, I like living in the city too because of there are interesting things to do all the time and you have lots of places to visit them.

Like most of my schoolmates, I have neither brothers nor sisters in any other words, I am an only child. My parents love me dearly of course and will do all they can make sure that 1 get a good education. They did not want me to do any work at family—they want me to devote all my time to my studies so that I’ll get good marks in all my subject. We may be one family and live under a same roof, but we do not seem to get much time to talk about together. It looks as if my parents treat me as a visitor and a guest. Do they really understand their own daughter What things are in other homes, I wonder.

Dear Editor,
I’m a middle school student naming Li Ming. I’m writing to tell you something. Recently I’ve notiecd many of my classmates often to go to the cyber cafe (网吧) near our school. The other day I went here, too. I was surprised to see many students doing computer games, seeing films or chatting. Some students were even talking about love affairs online. On my opinion, cyber cafes should be a place where we can find much useful informations. Internet should be a window to the outside world rather than place for games. Internet is good if we make good use it. Otherwise, it will do us great harm. So the local government should take measure to make sure that students use cyber cafes positively.

Most slang word are used more in speaking than in writing. As this reason, few can be found in dictionaries. Most Americans know about 10 000 to 20 000 words. About 1 000 to 2 000 of these words are slang. However, slang words are among those used very often. Slang words are made up of special groups such as workers, and musicians. They are used to describing a new subject, experience or idea. At first, only the member of such special groups understand words they have made up. Later, some of the slang words are used by other people, too. Slang words can be popular for a time, but then forget and not used any more. Students studying a foreign language should be very careful about what words to use but what not. Generally, it is better not use slang words.

Now I can’t watch much television but a few years ago I was used to watch it every night. 1 was often a little tired after a day’s work and watch TV demands very little effort. Unfortunate, there are too many people among my fanfily. Some wanted to see the programme while others preferred another. I am happy with any Frogramme but the others spent a lot time arguing and there was no way of settling the matter except by selling the set. Now sotneone at home reads instead.

Like most of my schoolmates, I have neither brothers nor sisters in any other words, I am an only child. My parents love me dearly of course and will do all they can make sure that 1 get a good education. They did not want me to do any work at family—they want me to devote all my time to my studies so that I’ll get good marks in all my subject. We may be one family and live under a same roof, but we do not seem to get much time to talk about together. It looks as if my parents treat me as a visitor and a guest. Do they really understand their own daughter What things are in other homes, I wonder.
