Day5
Cloze
Dear Jenny,
How’s it going? Are you busy with your studies these days?
I’ve been back at school 1 nearly four weeks. I’m very glad to tell you that great 2 have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say 3 to waste. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to 4 the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other areas. For example, we should turn off the lights when we 5 the classroom. And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans
( 豆类) in our 6 time. I think that it will be very interesting. Maybe I’ll be able to 7 you some beans we’ve grown next time! What’s more, we have only two classes in the afternoon
8 we have more time for after-school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to go out onto the streets near our school and ask people to 9 the traffic rules.
I think we have a different school life now!
Please write back soon and tell 10 more about your school.
Yours,
Wang Wei
