One possible version:
Dear Mum and Dad,
How time flies! I have been in China for nearly two months. Now I would like to tell you something about my new school life in China.
In the school, the classes begin at 8:00 a. m. and end at 5:00 p. m. I have a two-hour break at lunchtime. And every day, I have lots of courses including Chinese and maths. The school also offers some special courses. I think they can develop our own skills. After class, I often take part in many kinds of activities. What's more, I've made two best friends, Li Lei and Wu Dong. When we're free, we usually play basketball or read books together. My new school life is always filled with fun and joy. I enjoy it very much.
Mum and Dad, don't worry about me. Take care of yourselves!
Yours,
Simon
