Dear Mark,
I'm sorry to hear that you were hit by a motorcycle on your way home from the library. Your brother told me that you had to stay in hospital until the end of October. I hope you'll get well soon.
I know that you've tried to get higher grades, so you started to study in the library this term. But you have to be careful because riding a bike at night is kind of dangerous.
Some of our classmates will go to see you tomorrow. I can't go with them because I have a music contest(竞赛) tomorrow afternoon. I joined a guitar club, you know. But I'll visit you this Sunday and I can help you with your lessons then.
Helen

Have you ever heard of "Survival Holidays"? It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1, 000 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like " Survival Holidays" is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. "Survival Holidays" gives them an important change.
Is "Survival Holidays" a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing(干扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled(控制) by adults, which causes many problems. Children don't know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in dangerous times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills
