参考答案:
Dear Dick,
      How nice to hear from you again. Do you want to know what is going on in schools in China today? In short, things have been improved since schools were called on to reduce the study requirements for students. I used to work at the weekends doing endless homework and attending classes. Now I have more free time. I can follow my own interests, such as reading books, visiting museums, and taking computer lessons. In the evenings, I can watch news on TV or read newspapers. What's more, I can go to bed earlier now. As far as I know, everyone is happy with these changes.
      Best wishes,
      Li Ming
