Dear Sunday Globe,
I’m writing to you about your article in last Sunday’s newspaper, “Cell Phones Make Life Easier.” You did an excellent job explaining the good points of cell phones. They’re ____40____ and very helpful in business. We feel safer always being able to call someone. On the other hand, you didn’t talk about their bad points ____41____. Thus, I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on cell phone etiquette (礼仪).
The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When talking face to face ____42____, you wouldn’t shout. Likewise, don’t shout when you talk on your cell phone in public. In fact, the microphones in cell phones are so sensitive that you can be heard even if you speak ____43____. Furthermore, keep your ringer nice and quiet, and don’t let it ring in meetings, at the movies, etc.
Another point that needs to be made is to ____44____ personal space. I think it is very impolite to make calls in small spaces or ____45____ rooms. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. That’s ____46____ I use my cell phone at least three metres away from other people except in emergencies.
Lastly, let me draw your readers’ attention to the dangers of doing two things at the same time. For example, cell phones and ____47____ are a bad combination. Pay attention to the road! Besides, cell phones can cause you to neglect good friends. Give friends who are with you your full attention. Turn off your cell phone and enjoy their company!
Sincerely
Amber Jala

I used to live in Kobe in Japan. On my way home on the bus every evening I used to look for an old man who often played his saxophone (萨克斯管) near the river. I couldn’t hear his music because the windows were closed on the bus but I imagined it to be loud and clear. I wanted to be like that man.
One night I went to Himeji, a city not far from Kobe. As I walked with my family along the river I saw a statue. It was a young man who looked just like me. He was wearing a cap and smiling. Around his neck was a leather strap (皮带) and in his hands was a saxophone. He was lifting the saxophone to his lips and he was just about to play. I stayed there for a long time by the statue dreaming of playing a saxophone on TV.
Two weeks later it was my birthday. Imagine my joy when I opened my present from my parents and found that it was a saxophone! I put it to my lips to play, but it wouldn’t make a sound. Then Dad told me to read the instruction book to find out what to do. After about 15 minutes the saxophone was ready to play. I raised it slowly to my lips as my family watched. But still there was no sound. I blew and blew but I couldn’t get the saxophone to play. I was almost crying when suddenly the saxophone made the most beautiful sound—loud and clear like I imagined the music of the man by the river in Kobe. I blew again, I moved my fingers on the saxophone and I made more sounds. I was happy because I was playing very interesting sounds. But I wasn’t playing music yet.
Then came the lessons. Night after night, week after week my teacher made me practice. Slowly I started to improve and at last there came the magic day when I started to play music. Now I’m in the TV studio with my saxophone strapped to my neck and my cap on my head. I’m always thinking of the man by the river in Kobe and the statue smiling at me in Himeiji. I’m a happy man.

Subject Come to the party
Dear Karen,
As you probably know, it’s my sister Suzie’s 16th birthday in a week. We’re planning a surprise party for her. Julie’s going to pick her up from school as usual on Friday but she’s not taking her home. She’s bringing her to the Palace Hotel, the big modern one near the station. We’re having a meal there and we’ve also hired (租用) the ballroom (舞厅) for a party in the evening. I hope you are going to sing for us at the karaoke!
All her friends from school are coming and quite a few of the people from our village, too. Of course, Mum and Dad are coming up from England and I’ve managed to persuade (说服) our other sister, Marie, to come over from Australia. She’s bringing her kids with her, too. They’re all staying with us in our house.
Julie’s making a special cake. She says she’s going to make sure I don’t eat it all before the party. I don’t know what she means.
After the party we’re going to have another one on Saturday! Well, not really a party. We’re inviting the family and close friends (that includes you) for a meal at the house. If the weather is nice, we’d like to have a barbecue in the garden. Julie’s going to make a special cake for Suzie.
Anyway, we hope to make it a really special weekend for Suzie. On Sunday we’re all going for a walk in the country. You know how she loves walking and we’re all going to need a bit of exercise after that lovelyfood. We’re hoping to go up to the lake. Marie said she wanted her kids to feed the ducks just like Suzie and she did when they were very young. I’m sure Suzie will love that too.
Anyway, it would be great if you could come over for the weekend. We would all love to see you.
Let me know as soon as you can.
Best,
David
