最爱的乡村音乐

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for your letter. I'm happy to tell you what you want to know—I'm mad about music! My favorite is country music. I've been a country music fan for two years since I heard Faith Hill on the radio—she's great! I think her best song is It Matters to Me.

Some of my friends think I'm strange—they listen to bands like Elbow and Arctic Monkeys. They're OK of course, but I prefer listening to Garth Brooks and Willie Nelson. I spend nearly all my money on country CDs. I've got lots of CDs by Meredith Edwards and Jessica Andrews, too. I like country music because the singers have got great voices and the lyrics(歌词) are usually good too. Some people think that country music's all the same, but they're wrong! There are lots of different kinds of songs—romantic ones, slow ones, fast ones—just like any other kind of music.

I listen to country music nearly all the time. I usually listen to it on headphones in my bedroom, but sometimes my friends come round to my place and we listen together on my iPad. I really feel that country music brings me happiness. It is because of country music that I feel my life is full of sunshine.

Please write to me again soon.

Love,

Sandy

Dear Peter

How about your study? It's Sunday today. I'm writing a letter to you. I'm going to tell you something in Beijing.

Beijing is different from London. In our country, we drive on the left side of the road, but here people drive on the right side. Most people go to work by bus or by bike. The rush hours are from seven to nine in the morning and five to seven in the afternoon. People in China work around eight hours a day, five days a week. They usually begin to work at eight in the morning, and rest on Saturday and Sunday.

I have Chinese classes every morning from Monday to Friday. The students in our class are from many countries. We're all working hard and friendly to each other. The Chinese students are ready to help us with our Chinese. We also help them a lot with their English. We are getting along very well.

That's all for today. Please write to me soon.

Yours

Susan

Dear Helen,

Thanks for your last letter. Yes, I’m enjoying myself on my exchange program in France. It’s even better than I thought it would be. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family are really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. And you wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has improved! I’m very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn’t make me worried as it used to. My biggest challenge (挑战) is learning how to behave (表现) at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really not the same as the way they are at home. For example, you shouldn’t put your bread on your plate. You should put it on the table! I thought that was very strange at first, but now I’m used to it. You shouldn’t eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit! (You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.) Another thing is that it is very rude to say you’re full. If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also, it’s rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands, but not your elbows (肘部), on the table. I have to say, I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to things and don’t find them so strange any more.

I’ll write soon and tell you more about life in France. Hope you’re having a good school year.

Yours,

Li Ying

1.Where is Li Ying now?

Dear Dad,

Happy Father's Day! You're not a rich man or a famous person. But in my heart, you are one of the greatest men in the world. I'm proud of you.

In the past, I didn't care whether you were with me or not. Now I am sorry to say I didn't show you the respect before. But I am thankful for what you have done for me.
