dear mom and dad, 　　

how are things going?　　

it has been half a year since i last wrote to you. i am so sorry that i don't write you very often. however, i have been busy with my study.
    i've been in the high school for half a year now. it has been a great time. i've learned lots of knowledge that i did not know before. i learned to communicate with others and how to be a good person. i am more mature now! what especially makes me happy is that i got to know friends from all over the county. we study ,eat and enjoy ourselves together. i'm interested in the funny things that they told me. that’s interesting! the teachers in our school are very nice.they are very responsible to us. they offer us help whenever we have difficulties. 　　

as you know, i did badly on the final exam. because of my careless. so this winter vacation i tried my best on study.i think i'm doing okay studying next term. please don't be worried about me.i believe there is the start of my successfu journey and i will make my dreams come true there.　　

best wishes for a wonderful new year.
