I've read your advertisement for the assistant teacher for a children's winter camp. I am quite interesting in this position. Most importantly, I love working with children! As the monitor in your class, in the past two years I proved myself to be an excellent helper to my teachers. I speak fluent English, what enables me to help native English teachers communicate freely and effective with students in an English-only environment.

I will soon have a three-week winter vacations, so I have no problem working evenings and weekends. I would be pleased to assist for both the teachers and students in this challenging or rewarding environment.

Looking forward to receive your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

Last week，my friends invited me to going camping to see the sunrise. I felt so exciting and asked for my parents' permission. Luckily，he agreed. We got to the mountain top that we would stay for a whole night. We were singing together while one of my friends was playing guitar. The next morning，we wake up at about five o'clock. We could not wait to see the sun come down. After a while，we saw the red color light up the sky gradual. It was so amazing scenery. The beauty of nature impressed with me at that moment.

   Following Mo Yan's Nobel Prize , the usually silent Chinese literary circle got warmed up again. A Shanghai writer named Jin Yucheng surprised nearly everyone by making his novel full of Shanghai dialect.

Published in 2012, the 350,000-word Blossoms （Fan Hua） is a novel about the changes in Shanghai over 30 years, drawing clear images of the city through the stories of many common people. There is no main story like most novels, but every story in it could run independently. While putonghua is the standard choice for Chinese literature today, Jin's use of the Shanghai dialect appears both different and bold.

"I have seen too many novels that look similar to each other. Chinese literature is getting monotonous in both language and form. I want to be special with my own language, " Jin told the Global Times.

In the novel, Jin makes a breakthrough by mainly using dialogues to unfold various plots and represent typical characters on a daily basis. He also abandons the use of some punctuation like quotation marks （引号）, showing a return to the traditional Chinese huaben genre.

Since its publication, the book has been widely recommended on Sina Weibo with many netizens rating the novel high for its unique use of dialect and vivid description of life using plain speech.

Jin said that he got the idea of writing the novel while chatting in an online forum where people use the Shanghai dialect. The praise he received from the netizens encouraged him to continue writing the random stories.

"I'd like to see more writers to follow my lead. It will enrich our literature and make it diverse," he said.

Yours，
