Dear Dennis ,
We just want to say thank you for having us before we caught the plane last week. It was a nice
evening, and we enjoyed 1 Pete and Sarah. Wiih your help we were able to get to the airport with
plenty of time. We often tried to get an 2 flight than usual,but it wasn"t possible.
We had a 3 hoilday in Spain. We just loved driving 4 the countryside, and we often
5 to walk round a mountain village. We met 6 friends, Bill and Sue, and they invited us to have a
meal with them. They wanted us to stay with them, 7 we couldn"t, as we had already booked two
8 in a hotel.
The weather was nice. There 9 so much beautiful sunshine all the time we were there. Leaving Spain was very sad. It made me want to cry.
Anyway, we"re looking forward to hearing from you, and hope to see you 10 . Let me know if you"re ever in the area. You must call in.

In India, I visited a city. There were many homeless children. Some were young and lived in the
street. But then a lady called Rosa opened a home for them. In one whole year, she was looking after two hundred kids , feeding them , teaching them and giving them hope.
Another time, I was in Japan and met a young girl with a serious illness. After seven operations, she
had to have thirteen more in hospital. However, when I met her,she was still smiling.
Here in China, after the terrible Wenchuan Earthquake, I found a three-year-old boy named Lang
Zheng. He had been in the ruins(废墟)for more than ten hours before he was found by the soldiers.
Though weak and injured, the brave boy lifted his right hand above his head with difficulty and saluted the
soldiers to show his thanks , which became the most moving moment in the disaster(灾难).
Thanks to the experience as a reporter, I myself am getting braver and stronger. When I face

Dear Cindy, How"s going with you? For me it"s terrible. Three are too many rules in our school. It isn"t fair. I have to get up at five forty every morning. I can"t be late for running, I have to run at six thirty. I have to practice English and Chinese every day. In the evening I can"t watch TV or hang out with friends because I have to do my homework. I have to go to bed before ten o"clock. What"s more? We can"t listen to music or eat in the classroom. We even can"t wear hats or have long hair. We have to wear school uniforms every day. On weekends, I still have to stay at school on Saturday. Because I have to learn science and math. Do you have lots of rules in your school? Are they fair? Your friend, Alex |

Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don"t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don"t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦). Bitterness appears when we can"t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins .to grow. We may think we"re hurting that person by criticizing. (指责) him or her often, but we"re really only hurting ourselves. Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long. If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. ●Accept it Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it. ●Stop making excuses for it You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you"re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life. ●Forgive and forget it You probably can"t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You"ll enjoy better health and peace of mind. |

(1) Zhang Jin was excited to get the bonus (奖励) of a free trip to Thailand from his company. But the manager from Qingdao, Shandong Province, didn"t expect to have a dangerous experience. The next day, upon Zhang"s arrival in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, he was shocked to find himself in a city filled with street battles between two groups. One group was supporting the Thai government while the other was against it. The anti-government (反政府的) group has taken a number of actions recently. It took over the prime minister"s (总理) office in August and had street battles with the police. (2) Two people were reported to be killed and hundreds injured. Last month the anti-government group took over two international airports in Bangkok and stopped all flights. About 240 000 foreign tourists, including over 3 000 Chinese people like Zhang, were forced to stay in the country. "We were nervous on the streets. But we felt at home with other Chinese from Hong Kong or Taiwan," said Zhang. (3) Luckily, the Chinese government sent chartered flights (包机) to bring the people back. Now, all the Chinese tourists are safely back home. "The moment the plane left Thailand, we cheered for joy," said Zhang. |
