A Letter to Vlada

李婴

Dear Vlada，

I am very glad and excited to receive your letter. I think we both are very busy， it is OK if you are unable to reply very soon.

I hope youve been well recently. It has already been a month since the term started and two weeks later we are going to have our mid-term exam. So you can imagine how busy we are now.

Id like to share my school life with you and I hope you are interested in it. I am now in Grade Seven， and life is completely different from how it was in Grade Six. Besides the basic courses that everyone takes at school， we have to take extra1 courses after school. Usually students take two extra1 courses in a week （of course on different days）. But I take three： IT on Monday （everyone has to take it）， science English on Tuesday （you must pass a test if you want to take this course. And once you take it， theres no heading back， you will have to take it until you graduate）， and English drama on Wednesday （it is a very interesting subject and I love it very much）.

What about there in your school？ What about the classes you take？

Looking forward to getting your letter soon！

Sincerely yours，

Li Ying

致弗拉达的信

亲爱的弗拉达：

收到你的来信，我感到非常高兴和激动。我想我们都很繁忙，如果你无法立刻回复也不要紧的。

我希望你最近过得还好。我们已经开学一个月了，再过两个星期我们就要面临期中考试了。所以你可以想象我们现在有多忙。

我很乐意跟你分享我的校园生活，也希望你会感兴趣。我现在是一名初一的学生，生活也与六年级时截然不同。除了每个学生在校必上的基础课外，我们还要在放学后上一些额外课程。通常来说，学生一周要上两种不同的额外课程（当然，不在同一天）。但是我上了三门额外课：周一的信息技术课（每个人都要学），周二的科普英语（要上这门课，你得通过一次考试，但是一旦通过了就没有回头路可走，直到毕业你都必须上这门课），还有周三的英语戏剧课（这是一门非常有趣的课，我很喜欢）。

你们的校园生活是怎么样呢？你上的课程是怎样的呢？

盼望早日收到你的回信！

诚挚问候！
