School kids Say Goodbye to Their Flying Friends
Jin Jun and his classmates at Shanghai Nanyang Middle School are not very happy to be back from holiday.

More than 100 pigeons used to(过去常常) fly around campus every day, making students smile during break time.
But now, the birds are gone. Where? Now they’re all locked up in a bird cage. Bird flu(流感) has landed in Shanghai, and expert are afraid the pigeons might spread（传播）the disease if they keep flying around.
For safety, the school also asks students to stay away from the cage. “I feel sad for those birds. They’re my best friends,” said Jin, a Junior 3 student. “Last term I would bring corn to feed them, but I can’t do that any more. I hope bird flu will end soon so I can play with the pigeons again.”
Nanyang Middle School is not the only one to take pigeons off campus.
Students in Beijjng Fengtai Experimental Primary School also gave their pigeons to the local health department （当地卫生部门）on February 3.
Their pigeons are special birds. In 1999, students found two injured pigeons and gave them a home. To get money for bird food, the kids sold rubbish paper They took good care of the birds, and five years later, those two pigeons had become 265!
“The students loved the birds,” said Mr Chen, the school’s headmaster. “But to keep the school safe, they are willing to give them up.”

Dear Tom,
I am studying in Beijing now .I have a day off today. Now let me tell you something about Beijing. In our country people drive cars on the left side of the road, but here in Beijing, on the right side. Many people of London go to work by car, while most people of Beijing go to work by bike. The weather of Beijing is better than ours. It's fine for long here, but we have so many cloudy days in London．Students here work hard at their lessons and a lot of people can speak English. It's a pity that students in our country don't work hard and few people know Chinese. That's all for today. Please write to me soon．
Your ever,
Peter
