Dear John,

　　I'm glad to hear from you. Now let me tell you something about our city. Nantong is trying to set up a national civilized city. We middle school students are also doing some things for it. We are all polite to our teachers. (In class, we listen carefully to them./ When we meet them, we always say hello to them./…) We also respect the old. For example, we help them cross the streets.

　　We are always ready to help each other. (When one has difficulty with his studies, others will help him at once./...)We often show our love to those in trouble. Last month, the students of my class donated money to the earthquake-hit areas.

　　Besides, we plant trees to protect the environment and make our city more beautiful.

　　Nantong is my hometown. I will do my best to turn Nantong into a civilized city.

　　Zhang Tong
