Dear Father and Mother,
Zhouhui is my deskmate. He’s tall and strong. He is very clever with his hands and can fix almost anything. In study he is good, too. He works very hard and usually gets good grades. Unlike many others, Zhouhui doesn’t smoke or drink. And he never comes back to the bedroom very late.
Zhouhui is my roommate, too. Everybody says he is a very good guy. And we all like him very much.
Love
