Boys and girls, welcome to Elite Secondary School! I'm Mr. Green, in charge of this school. I'd like
to introduce you to various aspect of our school, from our history to our buildings and activities. Elite
Secondary School set up in 1960. In the past fifty years, Elite had experienced a lot of changes and
developments. Our school finally decided to move to Aberdeen in 1990, due to the lack of the space.
The school campus now was almost three times larger than the previous one. We even have three
libraries which are available with all the teachers and students. As for laboratories, they have two Physics
labs, two Chemistry labs, and a Biology lab which was established last year. Students here always have
an enjoyable time at school because there is a widely range of extra-curricular activities for them to
choose. We try to provide as much activities for our students as possible. Elite Secondary School is
committed to providing the highest level of education to the children. Thank you for your time.

Dear manager,
     I'm one of your customer. The day before yesterday I bought a walkman in your shop. Before I left,
I do check it carefully and everything was all right. When I got home, therefore, I found a fault with it.
The problem is the "Play" doesn't work at all. Probably it's not your fault and so is mine. Anyhow, I can't
solve the problem on person.
You see, a walkman is of great useful for me to learn English and I cannot wait for too long before this
problem is solved. Hopefully you will deal with the walkman without delay, when you accept my letter.
Hoping to hear of you in the earliest possible time!
                                                Yours sincerely,
                                                 Li Hua

     When I was in high school, most of my friend had bicycles. I hoped I could also have it. One day I
saw a second-hand bicycle, that was only one hundred yuan. I ask my father the money. But he said he
could only give me half of the money. He should find the other half myself. So I went to sell newspaper
s after the school. My father was pleased if I showed him the money a month late. He gives me the other
fifty. You can imagine how much happy I was when I rode to school on my own bicycle.
