Dear Henry,
I’m writing to tell you something about my new school.
I have been studying in my new school for one month. What makes me surprised is the big campus. Not only are the teachers here energetic and friendly, but also very patient with us. Besides, their teaching methods are very interesting, which are quite different from the ones of our previous teachers. Although the subjects we are learning are more challenging, I have confidence that I can learn them well. In the meanwhile, I get along well with my classmates and I take an active part in various after-school activities.
I am looking forward to meeting you in my school.
Best wishes.
Yours truly,

Dear Jimmy,
We have just chosen twelve paintings as part of the exhibition on the theme of “The Beauty of China”. I’m writing to inform you that your painting is among the selected ones.
Your painting mainly focuses on the big changes that have taken place in China in the past decades. Not only do you show your love for China, but you also show your talent and skills in your painting. There’s no doubt that it has been highly thought of by all the judges.
Congratulations to you again. I expect that you’ll create more wonderful paintings about China in your spare time.
Yours,
