Dear Alice,

This is my first time to receive your e-mail, and I'm glad to know that you’re so interested in China．China is so great a country that it's difficult for me to tell you everything, but I'll try to tell you more．Customs(风俗)in China and Western countries are not the same．Children can’t be named after their grandparents．They call the old grandma or grandpa and don’t call them by their given names．The Chinese are also expected to finish all the food if they’re invited to dinner．What’s more, young children in China hardly live away from their parents．

I hope you’ll come to China soon．

    Your e-pal(网友),

Li Chang

Reading is the bridge to language learning success, but it’s hard for us to read as much as we need． 1 , both teachers and students are thinking more about reading now．It is well  2  that reading is one of the most important  3  of information input(输入), especially for the students who learn English as the  4  or a foreign language．Language learning without enough reading can’t meet the need for one’s study．Only by reading more, can students think in a better way, and improve  5  in listening, speaking and writing．So if you want to learn English well, please do more reading and remember “More input brings more output(输出)”．
