Dear Julia,
Thank you for the Chinese words, I have tried to say them 46 .We have had some snow in February but now the weather is getting warmer. Some festivals in England are Easter and Christmas.
Easter is next week. At Easter we give people chocolate eggs that represents birth. 47 The daffodils are yellow and they look like the sun. At Easter we celebrate the birth of lambs and baby chickens and other animals. 48 Children believe in the Easter bunny, which is a rabbit that goes from house to house delivering chocolate eggs.
49 At Christmas we give people presents and have decorations around the house. Christmas is celebrated because of the birth of Jesus. Children believe in Santa Claus, which is a man who goes from house to house delivering presents to all the children. I can"t teach you any English because you are very good at the language already. 50 Hello: Hola; Goodbye: Adios; My name is Helen: Mi llamo Helen; My name is Julia: Mi llamo Julia; Thank you: Gracias.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes!
Love from Helen

Life is often compared to a diary. As Barrie said: We begin by resolving to write one thing and end by writing something very different. However, to be more exact, life is much more like a growing plant. Whether we like it or not, it is the stem (叶柄) that holds the plant; 71 .
Some people say, “Let by-gones be by-gones.” This is especially the case for misanthropes (厌恶与人交往的人) who hate to recall their past events. 72 ; they hate everything—perhaps themselves, too. In times of loneliness, instead of enriching their minds by enjoying their happy memories, they blame this world for being cold. Yet we may have something very funny in the past. Why not warm up your coldness by recalling them?
Some time ago, I went boating with my two friends. Having rented a sampan, we set out. The weather was dull and unfavorable, and the wind, singing in our ears, set off the waves which uplifted the boat and let it go. 73 . Without a moment’s hesitation I laid down the oars to catch it, but I failed. I tried again and it ran away. When the third time my two friends came to my help, the boat was out of balance with us all on one side. The boat turned over. The jellyfish which we were so anxious to catch a few minutes ago now floated towards us. But this time we tried our best to get away from it and landed on the bottom of the boat. 74 . Though drunk with water I felt very happy as that was the first adventure in my life, and I really enjoyed it.
I always like to sit quietly in one corner of my room, recalling past events, and laughing secretly to myself. Happy memories can delight you when you are moody and can encourage you when you are in difficulties. 75 .
A.They hate their fellow men |
B.Encouraging one’s minds sometimes brings more trouble |
C.Loneliness and coldness offers some people bad memories of the past |
D.besides, it is our past |
F. Suddenly I saw a jellyfish floating on the surface
G. Fortunately, my two friends, experts in boating, managed to turn it back
