It is one of the biggest schools in our city. But in the past, it had no more than 200 students and 20 teachers. There was only a small playground and five classrooms. However, some changes have taken place. A teaching building with 20 classrooms and a library have been built during the past ten years. The new playground is about 1,000 square meters. Besides, a computer center is being built now and it will be completed next year. I hope you can come here for a visit some day. Best wishes. Yours, Li Hua 3 Today we visited a farm.
