Dear Clark,
I've been here for a year. I enjoyed living here very much. You are kind and really helpful to me.
During the year, you often helped me with my English and invited me to take part in your family activities, such as the Christmas party and the picnic. I also visited many places of interest in London. They are really great. And I really enjoyed the food, because Mrs Clark cooked it well.It was so delicious.
Now I've learned more about the history and culture of England,and my English has improved so much.
Thanks for your help!

Nowadays more and more people like to travel, especially when vacations come. A great number of people rush out of their homes or companies to travelling spots. They either drive or take a bus, a train, a ship and so on. Some even ride bikes.
However, there is another way of travelling—poorism. People have a tour in the poorest areas of the world. Some people may take the one day poorest tour, and some even pay to stay in very poor neighborhoods to experience the lowest living standards in the world.
Poorism tours take place around the world, and not just in the third world countries. You can, for instance, tour New York neighborhoods in the Bronx, or in the Bund of Shanghai. Such tours can take people into the heart of poor areas in large and rich cities. These tours may awaken people to pay more attention to long standing poverty(贫穷), or the effects of war.
Some suggest that tours in the poor areas can raise social care. And the money from the tour can be donated to help the people there.
