6　Homework In the reading passage，we learned about Xie Lei's life in London.We learned that she has to overcome many difficulties and face many challenges，because she has to get used to a completely ‎ new way of life.Now imagine your American penfriend has decided to come to China to study Chinese culture and language at a university near you.‎ Homework for today：write a letter to him or her giving information about what life will be like.Include things like：‎ ‎●What he/she will find different in China (include things like food，study，transport，accommodation，etc.)‎ ‎●How easy or difficult it will be to make friends ‎●The best way to learn Chinese and about Chinese culture ‎●Things you can do to help him/her settle in Sample letter 1：‎ Dear Andy，‎ I'm glad to hear you are coming to China for university study.Here I'd like to offer you some tips in order that you will have a great time during your study in China.‎ As you know，China is a lot different from your country especially the culture，so you must try your best to adapt to the new environment.First，you must get used to Chinese food.This may not be the biggest challenge for westerners.Second，you had better be aware of the education system and make new plans for your university study.In addition，you should also be familiar with the transportation and accommodation.‎ On your first arrival in China，you may get a culture shock as well.The best way to overcome it is to make more local friends and to learn more about Chinese culture.Try to be easy－going and sociable so more Chinese people would like to make friends with you.After some communication with the local people，it will be rather easy for you to adapt to the new culture.‎ Of course you could turn to me for help at any time.I will be pleased to be your guide here in China，so please don't hesitate if you have any trouble.‎ Wish you a wonderful time in China.‎ Yours，‎ Fiona Sample letter 2：‎ Dear Emma，‎ I'm very glad to hear that you have decided to come to China to study Chinese culture and language.‎ You have already known some Chinese words through my letters，but it's not enough for you to study in China.When you come here，you'll find there are many differences between China and America.You have to learn how to communicate with the local people.Chinese people are very friendly.So，it's easy to make friends.There are many places you can go such as parks，public museums，and historical attractions.You can simply talk to them，just be sincere and generous，and you will find your best friends.‎ You will have to adapt to the food and transport here.In China，most people use bikes，or take a bus，which is different in your country.Studying in China is also difficult.Chinese teachers are strict with students in study，so you should study hard.The best way to learn Chinese and Chinese culture，I think，is to live with Chinese people，stay with them，and always communicate with people in Chinese；if you have time，you can travel to different areas to know the variety of Chinese culture.‎ I hope you can live with my family，then I can help you learn Chinese.Of course，if you like ‎ to live alone，I can help you rent a good and cheap house near your university.I expect to see you soon.I'm sure that you'll love China.‎ Yours，‎ Li Ming ‎[设计说明]采用写作的形式，使每个学生有机会表达自己的观点，实现语言实用性的目的。‎ About ‎Peru Peru is a meeting place of different races，languages and cultures.The land inhabited by millions of natives before the arrival of the “Spanish conquerors”，and witnessed the arrival of Europeans，Africans and Asians.Over time，a rich cultural blend occurred，which is expressed in the Peruvian cuisine，handicrafts，music and dances.‎ In Peru，nature has brought together an enormous variety of landscapes，climates and ecosystems.With a range that includes the coastal deserts，the imposing geography of the Andean mountains，and the dense Amazon jungle，Peru holds the greatest variety of microclimates，plants and animals in the world.‎ This human and natural diversity produces a rich cultural interaction among different people，a variety of occupational patterns and use of spaces，and a spectacular fusion of cultures and landscapes.Thus，Peru has an enormous potential as a privileged tourist attraction capable of offering visitors a wide variety of options all year round.‎ POPULATION：25 661 700 inhabitants (as of year 2000)‎ AREA：1 285 215.60 sq.km CAPITAL：‎Lima LANGUAGE：Spanish，Quechua，Aymara GDP：US $52 billion (estimated 2000)‎ MACHU－PICCHU After having remained hidden from the world for more than four centuries，the architectural complex of MACHU－PICCHU，“old mountain” in Quechua，was discovered by the American archaeologist Hiram Bingham in 1911.Situated ‎112 km from Cuzco on the edge of the Urubamba canyon，at 2350 meters above sea level，it covers an area of 32 ‎590 km2，and said to be built by the Inca as a religious area.It is made up of houses，places of worship，hydraulic systems and terraces.The Inca Trail is one's way of reaching the fortress，just as the ancient people of the empire arrived on foot，by stone paths，steps and tunnels that cross the Urubamba river and extend for more than 40 kilometers.‎ LIMA With a current population of over seven million people，flanked to the east by the Andes Mountains and to the west by the Pacific Ocean，Lima is both the most modern and one of the oldest cities of Peru.In 1535，Lima was chosen as the Capital of Peru due to its privileged harbor location.During most of the colonial period，Lima remained the most important political and ‎ commercial power center in South America.This illustrious past is reflected in the colonial architecture that has earned the downtown area the UNESCO title of World Cultural Heritage.‎ Due to its importance as the country's economic center and its privileged central location in South America，Lima constitutes a convenient center for conventions and business meetings.‎
