Dear Emily,

How are you? I am in Beijing, China. It is very interesting. The food is different but a lot of things are the same （一样） as in America.

The young people in Beijing like to see movies on weekends. Young Americans like to do the same things. The old Chinese like to watch things like Beijing Opera. It is like a story song. Americans don't have Beijing Opera. I like it very much.

I have a DVD player in my room. So when I am tired, I like to watch comedies. There are many stores in Beijing and I can buy some DVDs. I also like to watch Chinese action movies. Jackie Chan is a Chinese actor. I think he is funny and really good at kung fu. I like to watch his movies.

Best wishes,

Sally

Do you want to know anything about ma staying in America? Well, Let me tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since the fifth grade. However didn’t know textbook English was very different from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say，“I am fine” when people say “How are you?”But in the US, I found that people say,” I am good” or “I am tired.”
One day, someone greeted me with” What’s up?”It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and the US cultures.
To my surprise, the US girls spend a lot of time in burning sun getting a tan （晒黑）. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler（白的）.
I am also surprised by how hardworking the US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard all the time. But here, an “excellent” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music .The kids here are so talented ，I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
【小题1】 How often did the writer have an English class in Grade Five?

B. Five times a week.
C. Six times a week.
