_____________________________________________________________________Hello, Nancy!
I am happy to receive your post. Now, I’m showing you some photos of my school life. I am a student in No. 3 Secondary School of Nantong. Look! This is my school. It’s autumn now. The school is beautiful. Look! This is the teaching building. My classroom is on the top floor. It’s so high. I hope we can have a lift.
I have just finished my summer holiday. In my holiday, I often play football. I think it’s cool. This is an American football, isn’t it Do you play American football in America I saw it in some films. I want to play it too.
By the way, thank you for your present------ the rubber. It’s so cute. I like it. Don’t forget to show me your school life! Bye-bye!
