A LETTER TO A FRIEND
Beijing
October 21, 1961
Dear Liying,
How time flies! This is already my seventh week at college. We are very busy here and life is very interesting. There are so many new things to learn. We have English lessons every day and I like them very much. We also study Chinese and World History.
After class we have all kinds of activities. Sometimes we work on the college farm. On Saturday afternoon we usually have our class meeting. Sometimes we listen to a report. On Saturday evening there is a film or a dance.
Autumn is the best season in Beijing. The days are warm and sunny. We are planning an outing for next Sunday.
How are you? Are you still busy with the harvest? Please write to me soon and tell me about your life as a teacher.
Yours ever,
Wu Ming
給朋友的一封信
親愛(ài)的麗英:
時(shí)間過(guò)得真快!現(xiàn)在是我上大學(xué)的第七周了。我們這兒很忙,生活也很有意思,有那么多的新東西要學(xué)。我們每天都有英語(yǔ)課,我很喜歡它。另外我們還學(xué)習(xí)漢語(yǔ)和世界史。
課后我們開(kāi)展各種活動(dòng)。有時(shí)去校辦農(nóng)場(chǎng)勞動(dòng)。星期六下午通常是開(kāi)班會(huì),有時(shí)也聽(tīng)報(bào)告。星期六晚上不是有電影就是有舞會(huì)。
秋天是北京最美的季節(jié),每天都暖融融的,充滿陽(yáng)光,我們正籌劃下星期天出去郊游呢。
你怎么樣?還在忙著秋收嗎?請(qǐng)快快寫(xiě)信告訴我你當(dāng)教師的生活。
朋友:吳明
