Dear Miss Yu,
I'm Linda. I'm writing this letter because I want to tell you that the school year I spent with you was special to me.
I used to be very shy and quiet. You never said much to me. But you did something that made a big difference to my life.
In the past, I hated English. I didn't think it was interesting. And my English was very poor. In Grade 9, you became my English teacher. You always made your classes lively and interesting. I found it easy to remember what you taught us. Once I was asked to introduce myself in English. Because of my poor English, I 'didn't do it well. And I felt very bad. To my surprise, you didn't say anything bad but told me if I worked hard on my pronunciation, I would do better. Your encouragement changed me a lot. From then on, I began to study English very hard.
Now, I enjoy studying English. My dream is to become an English teacher. I want to help students study English like you.
Yours,
Linda

Last Saturday, Mary visited an old people's home with her mother. She had fun there.
An old woman sat in a chair in the hallway. One of her slippers dropped. Mary picked it up and said, "Grandma, let me help you put it back on your foot. "Thank you, my girl. You are so beautiful," the old woman said to Mary.
Then Mary met an old man with no legs, and he said hi to Mary. Mary stopped to talk with him.-She listened to him telling his stories. Mary didn't think the stories were funny, but she smiled all the time. "Thanks for listening my girl. You are so beautiful, "the old man said to Mary

Five years ago, my parents bought small house in the countryside. We used to drive three hours to get to the house every Friday evening for holidays.
During the weekdays my parents worked hard. My two brothers and I went to expensive private schools. We hardly saw each other. We had several babysitters(临时保姆) as my parents had to work long hours. The only time we could be together was the weekend, and that was my happiest time. However, every Sunday morning was torture because we had to leave the holiday house then.
Last year, my parents sold our big house and gave up their jobs. They bought a smaller car. We now live in our holiday house. My parents got new jobs that allow them to work from home.
The best change for me is that now I go to a small village school with my brothers. After school we get on our bikes and ride around to see our friends. My life is just so different. We have fewer things but for me it seems like we have so much more. I am so glad we have changed our way of life.

I'm Robert. ⑴ I'm having a lot of fun in New York with my family. Yesterday morning, we went to Central Park. In the afternoon, we visited the Statue of Liberty. And tomorrow we will visit the Brooklyn Bridge.
Today we went to a special festival. All my family enjoyed it. Dad liked it because it was free to go in! There were many interesting activities. That's why I liked it. We tried on spacesuits(航天服) and we made some model planes. Mom's favorite was the clocks and she bought a beautiful one at the shop.
⑵在节日上有许多来自不同国家的年轻人, I met a boy called Alex. He company comes from Australia and he is good at making robots. Ho even started I to finish to sell them! I also want to start my own company, but Mom says I need school first.
The festival gave me lots of ideas for my science homework. I could do something about electricity or ice but1 think' write bout robots because I'm interested in robots now.
