Many people don’t think that TV shows are educational. It is true that lots of shows are meaningless. However, some shows are good and we can learn many things from them. Here are a few of my favorite shows.
Blue Peter When I was a child, this was the only show I could watch. I watched it on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday every week. You can learn about different countries around the world from it. As the show is for children, the language in it is easy.
The Great British Bake Off This show is about making bread, cakes and so on. The show wants to find Britain’s best amateur baker (业余烘焙师). You can watch the show and learn how to bake different kinds of bread and cakes by following their steps.
Frozen Planet This show is about life in cold places. There are many special animals in this show. I love this show not because of the cute animals, but because it teaches us why we have these animals and what we need to do to save them.
Pointless This show is great for you to think. It is a quiz (知识竞赛) show. It may be about sports, weather, movies and so on. I learnt lots of things from this show.

No two days are the same in this job. Sometimes I am in the kitchen. Sometimes I’m out of the country buying the raw materials we need, that can be difficult because I have a young family. But I love this job. Many people ask me if I get bored of chocolate. I’ve worked with it for a long time, but I’ve never felt I didn’t want to eat it.

Friends are very important in everyone’s life because friends are always there when we need them. A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
My friendship with Sue started 30 years ago with a snake. A few months after I moved into an apartment, my next-door neighbor (邻居), shouted to me, asking for help with a snake sleeping near her apartment.
I made the snake run away and made a new friend. Soon Sue invited me over for dinner or left home-made food at my door. When I went to my beach house, Sue helped look after my pet and water my plants. And when she wasn’t home, I did the same for her. When she traveled, she’d remember to bring me wonderful gifts, but her smile is always the greatest gift of all.
In 1997, I had a lovely child and Sue looked after me and him. Years later, I returned the favors (回报). I helped out when her husband was in hospital, staying with her and talking about and sharing everything with her.
Unluckily, in 2019 the pandemic (疫情) happened. My husband lost his work and my son couldn’t be back home because of the virus (病毒). I was worried about them and I didn’t know how to fight the pandemic. But Sue appeared in time. She helped my family to prepare for the pandemic and shared food with me. Without her, I couldn’t go through difficult times. I was the luckiest one in the world.
A wall might separate (阻隔) our apartments and masks(口罩) can separate the viruses, but nothing is able to separate our hearts.

Thanks for your e-mail. My life in 20 years will be modern and happy.I will be 35 years old at that time.
As for my job，I will be a doctor. I will work in Beijing. I will help many people because I love it. I will live in Beijing. My parents will be too old to take care of themselves. I will take good care of them. I will often be on a business trip to make money to support my parents because they gave me so much when I was young.
I will have my own family with two children. It must be very happy. In my free time，I'll go fishing or travel around the world. I also do sports every day to keep healthy. I will meet my friends, and we can talk about the past school life.
In a word，life in 20 years will be better than it is now. I will try my best to make it possible to have a better life!
Best wishes!
Yours,
Wei Ming
