(10) Several years ago, when a foreigner appeared in China, many people would gather around and stared at him or her as if they were watching a rare animal. However, it’s not unmon to meet some foreigners even in middle schools now. There’s no doubt that schools will be better known. What’s more, it’s good for students to develop interest in English study as well as learn more about foreign cultures. Meanwhile, their oral English will be improved a lot. On the other hand, some foreigners, though well paid, find it difficult to get used to the way of life in a foreign country and they sometimes worry about their safety. The most important thing is that they are not quite familiar with the students. As a result, many students can’t benefit from them. （ 11） Dear Sir, I’m a student of Senior 3. I am writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether to board in the school or at home. At the beginning of this term, my parents and teachers asked me to board in the school.

Besides, they think boarding will make it possible to make full use of my night time, and that I can also develop the ability to look after myself. However, I have my own thought. Staying at home in the evening, I will have more time to work at my lessons. At the same time, I can learn what I think I’m not good at. I really don’t know what to do. Please give me your advice! Yours, LiHua (12) Dear editor, I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have recently had about whether we should know our parents’ ine. We do have different opinions on this matter.

Then we will study harder and will not waste money any more. We may also learn to share our parents’ trouble. 第 頁 （共 24 頁） 16 About 30％ of my classmates think it necessary to let the children know how much their parents earn. If they know their parents have enough money to support the family, they will not study hard since they needn’t worry about the future. It is said that, especially when the children know their parents have a relatively high ine, the children will easily form a wasteful habit. Yours truly, Li Hua (13) Dear editor, I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have recently had about whether our parents should acpany us studying at school. We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us (about 70%) think our parents should not acpany us studying at school since it makes us fall into the habit of dependence, so that we won’t form the good hab。s bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noise and even attack people. I like animals, so I don39。 otherwise instead of catching the criminal, he himself will be beaten to death. There are fewer heroes now for several reasons. I think the most important reason is that people don’t want to mind other people’s business because they think it will do them no good. But I think it will do them no good. But I think society calls for heroes. Fighting against crimes is not just the job of the police. It’s the duty of every citizen. (3) Dear Jane, Thank you for your letter and the photo of your family. Now I am writing to tell you why I am the only child in my family. As you know, the population of China is growing very fast. In order to control the rapid increase of population, in the 1980s the government of China began to put into practice the family programme one child for each couple. As a result, most families have only one child. The child in the family can get more love from the family and chances to get better education. On the other hand, the only child is selfish, and not so independent. Sometimes they feel lonely. I think, every the only child like me should learn to make more frie
