Hello, everyone. I’m Linda.
I like many sports, but I love
volleyball best of all.
I started playing volleyball when
I was in the sixth grade. We played
volleyball in our PE classes and in our
spare time. We have trainings three
times a week in our school gym.
Volleyball teaches me to work in a
team. Volleyball makes me strong, and
gives me energy and a good mood.
I’m happy to become a member of
the Sports Club, and I hope to play
volleyball with you.
I’m happy to become a member of the Sports Club, and I’m sure we
will have a great time together.

Dear Jiayi,
Greetings from Australia! We
arrived last week. We’re having a
great time. I sunbathed at the
golden beach yesterday, and
the air smelt salty. Tomorrow,
we’re going to visit the national
park to see the lovely koala! I will
share my stories with you when
I’m back.
Best wishes,

the earmuffs in 1873. He came up with the idea when he was just
years
old. He made this invention to keep his ears
. Like every other teen,
Greenwood looked forward to winter days and
with friends and family.
Greenwood loved this sport, but he couldn’t stay out on the ice for very long. The

An Open Letter
Dear friends,
Everyone can help reduce our carbon footprint by taking small
steps at home and school.
We should plan our meals every day to reduce food waste. We
should take good care of our clothes and buy second-hand clothes.
In addition, we can do a lot at home. For example, we should turn
down the heating by one degree in winter. We can even help in the
classroom by turning off the lights when we leave. We should also
choose a green way to get around, like walking or taking a bus.
Let’s take action now!
Best wishes,
Wang Xin
