Dear Tom,
How nicely to hear from you again. You want to know what was going on in our school. In short, things have been improving until the school began to carry out exploring study.
In the past, the teachers always keep on explaining the points in the class. We students just listened and took note. But now we often discuss and try to solve the problems raising by the teachers or ourselves. After class, they enjoy different kinds of activities instead of doing endless homework. We can read what we are interested.
In a word，we are now masters of study, but we are very happy.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
