Although I am from America, I have lived in China for several years. 1.I want to tell you some differences between China and the USA.

Education

2.中国学生比美国学生更擅长于数学。I feel that Chinese students study harder and have longer classroom hours to enter college.

Of course, you need to have enough money to pay for it.

American children are taught to keep the environment clean. But it isn’t the same here in China. I am happy to see more and more Chinese children are changing their habits. People are taking notice of their environment.3.And they are playing a role in keeping it clean.

Safety

If you walk down a dark street alone at night in the US, you’ll probably be afraid of being attacked (攻击). In China,it isn’t a problem. 4.I feel safe living here in China.

Leadership

There are a lot of great leaders(领导)in China, such as Chairman Xi. 5.他是中国历史上最伟大的领袖之一。He is wise and is making wide choices in leading China. I am sincerely amazed at his leadership.

22、Dear Mum and Dad，

I promised to write，so...

We're staying with Lingling's uncle in Hunan Province, and I'm having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It's a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It's very large, about 480 square kilometres. It's famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.

Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard a noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling's uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.

This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp. I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling's uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.

Tomorrow we're going to Dongting Lake, the second-largest lake in China.

We'll be back home next week! Wish you were here!

Love，

Betty

Old people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams come true. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company(KFC) in the world.
