Dear Ryan,

I’m Li Hua from Class 3. I’ve heard about the plan to pair students randomly for after-class speaking practice. While I appreciate the intent, I believe this method might not be the best for everyone. Some students may feel uncomfortable or less motivated with a randomly assigned partner, possibly due to differing language proficiency levels or interests.

Instead, could we consider letting students choose their partners or grouping them based on similar language levels or interests? This way, students might feel more at ease and motivated to practice, leading to more effective learning outcomes.

Thank you for considering my suggestion. I believe a small adjustment could significantly enhance our learning experience.

Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Dear Ryan,

I’m Li Hua from Class 3. I’ve heard about the plan to pair us randomly for after-class speaking practice. While I understand the idea, I’m concerned it might not be the best approach. Random pairs could lead to mismatched language skills or interests, making it tough for some students to practice effectively.

What if we could choose our own partners, or maybe you could group us by similar language levels or interests? This might help us feel more comfortable and encourage more productive conversations.

Thank you for considering my suggestion. I believe a slight change could really improve our speaking practice and help us all learn better.

Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

（二）When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest, I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny, and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think, as sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I cheeked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half-dozen books on paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win. I wouldn’t care.

A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I had won first place! The feeling of surprise and joy was overwhelming. My teacher, beaming with pride, handed me the award and said, “Your unique perspective made your story stand out.” That moment was transformative for me, proving that with dedication and a bit of creativity, even the most daunting challenges could be overcome.

I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation, still feeling a mix of disbelief and excitement. “I can’t believe I won,” I said, a smile spreading across my face. He leaned back in his chair, looked at me, and replied, “I always knew you had it in you. This is just the beginning of your journey.” His encouragement and belief in my abilities were the push I needed to embrace writing not as a task, but as a passion. This experience taught me the power of storytelling and the importance of persistence. It opened my eyes to new possibilities and ignited a love for writing that I had never known before.

A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I had won! The joy and disbelief were overwhelming. My teacher, with the biggest smile, handed me the award, saying, “You see, all your hard work and creativity paid off.” That moment was a revelation for me. It showed me that even challenges that seem insurmountable can be overcome with determination and passion.

He looked at me, his eyes reflecting a mix of pride and satisfaction, and said, “I always knew you had it in you. This is just the beginning.” His words were not just a compliment but a challenge to keep pushing my boundaries. This experience transformed my view on writing. What once was a task fraught with difficulty had become a source of joy and self-expression. It taught me the value of perseverance and the beauty of finding one’s voice in a second language. Now, I looked forward to writing, not as a hurdle to overcome, but as an adventure to embark on.
