In Liren Middle School there are just three grades. There is grade 7, 8 and 9th grade. In the following papers written by some of the students, you will read that they refer to themselves as being in either grade 1 or grade 2. This just means that either they are in their first year or second year of Liren Middle School. So, grade 1 is actually the 7th grade and grade 2 is the 8th grade. Also, I have not altered their writing. There actual sentence structure has been left intact.

Hello Wang Wei En. My name is Tony. This is my English name and my Chinese name is Yao Lin. I'm a student of Class 1, Grade 2. I'm an outgoing boy. For study, I like science and math best because I think they are interesting and exciting. They make me a lot happy.

I had to put the following two letters in as actual photos of each letter. I wanted to show;
1) In the letter on the left, the handwriting of the student and
2) The letter on the right showing you just how sincere these students are.

My name is Zhang Zhijing. I am interested in science and Chinese history. I can think as an adult while sometimes my behavior is just like kids (to tell the truth). I can play the piano well but I will feel quite embarrassed when people talk about my piano skills. I love classical music and pop music, such as "The Emperor" and "The Summer Midnight Dream". I have been to many cities in China and Australia. I always go to museums because of my great interest in history. I am not sure about my future job. Maybe about history or science. I love China because I love its history and food. I can't live without Chinese food. When I was in Australia, I even can't stand the food there.
I'm a girl from Class 12, Grade 8. I think I'm a strange girl because I have different hobbies from others. I like traveling when I was a child but when I grow up, I find traveling is not an easy thing. I like traveling by myself but my parents won't agree. And I don't have enough time to travel where I want to go.
One day I knew there was a subject called psychology. Then I was interested in it. I started to buy books about it. And want to learn all about psychology. After that, I want to be a psychologist.
You won't believe that my grandmother a seventy-five years old people likes Snooker. When there is a Snooker competition, she will sit in front of the t.v. and watch the games. I'm always strange why my grandmother likes Snooker so much. And one day I sat near her and we watched t.v. together. Although I didn't know the rules at all but I still love that Snooker.
I love China because I think Chinese has long history and Chinese has lots of delicious food.
