Dear Mr. and Mrs. Chen,
I am writing tell you about your son. Recently we have been rather worried about him. He suddenly told his teacher what he did not want to sit near his friend,William. His teacher was surprised and allow him to move. The next week when asking to hand in his homework, he said he was very boring with always write the same way. And then he painted his face blue color. I wonder if he is behaving strange at home. I think it would be a good idea if you could come to school to discussing it with me sometimes this week.
Yours sincerely,
Agnes Chow

I went to shopping with my wife. We have a lot of things to buy . We drove to the center of the city and stop our car in front of a shop. An hour late, we came back to the car. But it was strangely that we couldn’t open the door. So we asked policeman for help. He was glad to help us. A few minutes later, he got the door opened. Just then a man came up and shouted angrily. “How are you doing with my car ” We were surprising and went to see the number of the car. What you think we did then We had to speak sorry to the man again and again.

Dear Abby,
How are you I’ve got a wonderful news to tell you. I had been offered a scholarship at university in Australia for my further education. One hundred and twenty students take the exam for it, but only a few were chosen and I was one of them. Therefore,my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against my going there. They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid that I will feel alone. They can’t imagine a girl so young live alone. They advise me to study in the capital instead. Then I’ll be able to continue living with them.
How can I make them accept the fact that I have grown
Best Wishes
Yours,Jane

One day I took several pairs of shoes to a shoemaker to be mending. A week later I got them back and put them away. Four months after that, I invited to dinner. I took a pair of shoes I hadn’t worn them since they were repaired. I put one shoe on my right foot, and the others on my left. But it felt as if it was on the wrong feet. I took both shoes off for a closer look. They were exact the same design, color, or size, and each is for the right foot. Then I thought of the shoemaker. Though I was sure he wouldn’t remember me in such a long time, I called him. “Thank goodness, you finally called!”he said excited.
“The angry woman has been troubling me for months.”

Now I have taken more than ten years at school. As a child, I regarded the school a beautiful garden. I went to school happily and excited with a small bag. Time flew very fast. Now I’m studying at a senior middle school.
Every day morning I go to school early. At class I enjoy the lessons of every teachers very much. In the evening,I do a lot of exercise, just like a farmer working hard, expect a good harvest. During breaks between class, I often go out to enjoy myself. I’m sure I’ll never forget wonderful time I spent at school.

The postman usually put the newspaper at the door. One morning when I opened the door to get the newspaper and was so surprising to see a strange little dog with our paper in his mouth. Such pleased with this unexpected “delivery service”, I feed him with some bread and meat. The following morning I was frightened to see same dog sit in front of our door, wagging(摇动) his tail,with eight newspaper around him. It was surprising that a dog could learn so quick. But I had to spend the rest of that morning returned the papers to their owners.
