WELCOME UNIT
Write a student profile
My name is Li Hua, and I’m a Grade10 student at Zhonghua Senior High School. I’m quiet and very easy-going. I just don’t let things bother me—I always try to stay as cool as a cucumber. My
favourite subject is Chinese, because I find Chinese characters fascinating, and I love to write new characters using calligraphy. In fact, I spend most of my free time practising it. When I’m not
studying or practising calligraphy, Iplay basketball with my friends. I plan on being a writer in the future.
UNIT 1 TEENAGE LIFE
Write a letter of advice
Dear Xu Ting,
You wrote that you always feel lonely after school because your parents work in another city. I understand how you feel. It is common for teenagers to feel lonely when they live away from their parents.

It will also help you realise that you are not alone in having problems and that many other people have problems, too. Helping other people also makes us feel better. You can also connect with your parents online. Just because your parents are far away, it doesn’t mean you can’t talk to them. I’m sure that you’ll make new friends and get a chance to speak to your parents more often. This will help drive away your loneliness.

Later, it was used as a prison for people who angered the king. It’s also where the marvellous Crown Jewels are located. I just can’t wait to see it. It has such an incredible history and there are so many amazing stories connected with it.
We’re also planning on se
