Dear David,
I'm glad you're going to Beijing to learn Chinese. Every year，there are (million)of foreigners coming to China to learn Chinese. China is one of the greatest (country)in the world and Chinese is becoming more and more (use).Many foreigners are learning now. But it may be more difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese，because it's different English. As a language，Chinese is getting as (important)as English. So I think it's also a new challenge(挑战)for you. If you want to learn it (good), you should study harder before. Remember to listen to the radio to practise your listening. It's a good idea to catch every chance(机会)to talk in Chinese. It's important (do)some reading and writing. If you have any (question)，please ask me. I'm sure you'll make it.
Hope to see you soon in Beijing！
Yours,
Li Ping
On a small farm in Mexico, there are no schools. A bus is the school. The driver of the bus is the teacher. It's a school bus, but it doesn't take the children to school. It just goes round from place to place, and sometimes it comes to this farm. The bus will stay there for three months. The farmers call it a school on wheels(轮子) .
Every time the bus comes, the farmers run to it, shouting and laughing. They warmly welcome the school bus.
When the bus is on the farm, in the morning, the teacher teaches the small children. In the afternoon, the bigger children come to have their lessons because they must work in the morning. At night, the fathers and mothers come to school. They want to learn too. How the farmers hope that some day they can have a real school on their farm!
