Dear head teacher, teachers, parents and fellow students, I’m very proud that you have chosen me to speak to you today.
I have three roses here: a red one, a yellow one and a white one. These roses are to thank three groups of people for the three most important things ___1___ I have learnt. These three things are friendship, effort and trust.
I give the red rose to my friends. When I started school here, my Chinese was not good, and some of my mistakes were very funny. I once tried to say “xiexie”, but I said “xiaxia” instead. Of course some people laughed, and I felt quite silly. But they were not ___2___ me. They taught me to say many things in Chinese and kindly invited me ___3___ them. Today, thanks to their ___4__, my Chinese is much better, and we have become friends. So, let me say “xiexie” again to all of you for your help.
I give the white rose to my teachers, who have taught me that there is no ____5___ without effort. When I started running in the 800 metres, I always finished last and I just wanted to give up. But the PE teacher, Ms Huang, helped me. She ran along with ___6____, and she said, “You only really lose if you give up!” I still can’t run fast ____7___, but I’ve learnt to try my best, not only with running but with whatever else I do.
I give the yellow rose to my parents for ____8____ me that love is about trust. When I wanted to learn the violin, my father told me that I should work harder at maths. I was disappointed. Then,on the morning of my birthday, I ____9____ to find a beautiful violin at my bedside. There was a note from my father: “I’m sure you will be good at music. I know that you will be better at maths.”
I’m sure that you all have some your own ____10____ about the happiness of the last three years, and the people whom you want to thank for it, so let’s all stand up and say, “Thank you, friends, teachers and parents! We love you!”

Dear Luke,
I'm glad to tell you something about robots in the International Robot Exhibition. The International Robot Exhibition was held in Shanghai last Friday. There were all kinds of robots from different countries at the exhibition.
Among them, I like the robot made in Shanghai, China best because it can help do housework. For example, it can clean the floor, wash the dishes and even cook delicious food.
In the future, I want to design a kind of robot especially for the elderly. It can remind the elderly to take medicine and accompany them to take a walk.
Robots have both advantages and troubles. But with the development of science and technology, our life will be more wonderful because of them.
I'm sure you will like it very much. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Wang Fang
