When the teacher asked students if they wanted to show their swordplay skills(剑术), many of them raised their hands. This is common in Yingbinlu Primary School(YPS) in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It started martial arts (武术) training in 2011.
For PE lessons, students in this school can choose from martial arts, table tennis, rope jumping, football and so on. “Only 8 students chose martial arts in the beginning. Now about 200 out of 1,446 students take part in the training,” the headmaster (校长) Chen Xue said.
Lou Yiling is 12 years old. She likes the course so much that she practises swordplay at home. Li Zhuoqian is now a 15-year-old middle school student. She graduated (毕业) from YPS three years ago. She used to be very timid and hid behind her mother when it was her turn to show up. After taking martial arts lessons, she became confident and won many prizes in competitions in Chengdu. She even showed martial arts in Japan with her classmates.

Letter A
Dear Roes,
I like your programmes very much. I’m now writing to ask you something about American social customs（社交习惯）. My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go, but I’m a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I’m afraid of making mistakes.
Should I bring a present, such as sweet or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork（叉子）or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?
Wang Lin
Letter B
Dear Wang Lin,
It’s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine（葡萄酒）if you know that your friends drink it.
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you’re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.
Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don’t know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do. ask the person next to you.
