container(容器) every morning and evening,change soil every two
weeks,and feed them with vegetables and sweet fruits,” said
Sun Youxiang after raising snails for one year.He is a fourth grade
primary school student in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province.From
three white jade snails at the very beginning to more than sixty
snails of four generations(代) now,he has done a great job for his

respect(尊重) for life will be developed as they learn to take
care of animals on their own.Sun's teacher said the job served as
a good example of life education.Practice is a necessary step in
learning and it will benefit the kids for a life time.
Life education allows kids to know how to live with nature
and creatures(生物) in a friendly way.Starting from this year,
science will become an important subject as Chinese and math
in primary schools in order to improve students' knowledge
about the things around us.Because of curiosity(好奇心),more
kids will be willing to watch and think through practicing.It will
add to our knowledge of the world in the long run.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I've already been in Hangzhou for about half a year.I really can't
afford to wait to tell you something about it.Not only does it have
famous Qiantang River, but it also has the beautiful West Lake.
Actually,it's a modern city with countless tall buildings and
stores.Believe it or not,it's the home of Alibaba Company.The
night life here is also colorful and relaxing.
Meanwhile,Hangzhou is a highly civilized city.People
here are friendly and polite.I should say it's one of the cleanest
cities I've ever seen.Another amazing thing is that whether
buses or cars must stop at the zebra crossing on the road to let
the pedestrians go first.
I miss you and look forward to your reply.
Love you,
Peter

transportation is quite developed.Wherever I'd like to go,the
subway,bus or bicycle are all good choices.Moreover,I can
almost buy everything I need in the local supermarket.By the
way,the food in Hangzhou tastes really delicious.I love it very
much.
