Dear Jenny,

I am very busy on Friday. At 8:00 I have math. It is not fun. The teacher says it is useful, but I think it is difficult. Then at 9:00 I have science. It is difficult but interesting. At 10:00 I have history. After that, I have P. E. at 11:00. It’s easy and fun. Lunch is from 12:00 to 1:00, and after that we have Chinese. It is my favorite subject. Our Chinese teacher, Mr. Wang, is great fun. My classes finish at 1:50, but after that I have an art lesson for two hours. It is really relaxing!

How about you? When are your classes? What is your favorite subject?

Your friend,

Over 2,000 years ago, in China, there lived a boy called Confucius. When he was only three, his father died. His mother was very poor, in those days, people had to pay to go to school and his mother couldn’t afford to send him.

As Confucius grew up, he wanted to learn things. So he decided to teach himself. Unfortunately he was a strange-looking boy. The other children pointed and made fun of him. They called him names and laughed at him. Confucius got very upset, but he was a kind gentle boy and did not fight back.

Confucius did not play with other children. He went out to talk to holy men in the temple and leaned from them. He talked to artists and musicians and learned from them. If he tried to do something difficult, he kept trying over and over again until he learned how to do it. In this way the boy taught himself to read and write and learned lots of interesting things. Confucius grew up to be a very clever man.

When he was a man, Confucius became the ruler of the city of Changtu. People were very happy when he was their leader. He used his abilities and skills in a wise way.

People sometimes call him the greatest man who ever lived. We still remember many of his sayings today.
