Each time my parents criticize me, I always say I'm sorry at that moment. Last month my mother had a bad pain in her nose. It put her in a very mood(心情). She became angry easily. When she criticized me, I just said sorry. Later, she to me.
Ma Xue, 14, Beijing
When I don't do well in exams, my father gets very angry and shouts at me. At that time, I don't with him. I just talk with him when he calms down. I tell him I will work harder and do next time. Usually, he listens to me and gives me a hug(拥抱).
Yao Hui, 15, Guangzhou
My mother often criticizes me. And she likes saying, "You shouldn't do… " Sometimes I get angry and shout back, "Don't care about me! I don't need you!" I run into my room, cross my arms and get ready for a huge fight. But later, both of us forget it and talk with each other happily.

Claire's day begins in1, Australia, but by evening she's on the other side of the world.
Claire has a morning departure, so she packed her luggage last night." I try to pack light", she says, "but today I'm flying to Tokyo, so I've packed warm and thick clothes. It's summer in Australia now, but it's2 in Japan!"
Claire rises early, puts on her uniform, and takes the bus to the3. There's a pre-flight meeting at 7 a. m. They have to find out what part of the plane they'll be working on and about the passengers who'll be on the flight.
At 8 o'clock, they board the plane. They check the seats and bathrooms to make sure everything is clean and working properly, and they get the food and drinks ready.
At 8:30, the passengers come on board. Claire greets them, checks their boarding passes, and tells them where their seats are. And then at 9:15 the plane 4.
It's a ten-hour flight, and Claire is on her feet for most of this time, serving food, cleaning and watching out for problems. " I like talking to people. Some people are afraid of flying, and chatting can help them to be 5.
After the plane lands in Tokyo, the staff check to see that nothing has been left behind or broken. Then they go to their hotel. " I'm ready for a good6, I feel really sleepy, " says Claire. " Tomorrow I'm going to spend time in Tokyo-it's a city I love. "
Dear Addie,
Greetings from New Jersey, how is New Zealand? I'm very excited to have you as my pen pal. I guess it's my turn to tell you about m
I live with my parents, two sisters, and our pet dog Sam. My oldest sister, Linda just turned 17. My other sister is II and her name is Lucy. I guess I would say that she is my best friend, a we sometimes fight. She rides horses and takes lessons every Saturday morning. I have to go with her, and that is truly the most-b thing in the world for I really don't like riding horses.
I take tap dancing classes. I like to practice in the food store. The s of my feet stepping on the hard floors echoes(发出回声). I play soccer in fall; I'm on the swim team in summer. I like to swim, but I am really looking forward to diving this year. Next year I will start music lessons in school. I think I am going to play the p .
Our house has eight rooms and a small backyard where every year we try to grow vegetables. I have a bike and Mum allows me to ride up and down our street, but nowhere e. I hope that I will get to ride it to school someday.
Well, that is enough about me for now. I look forward to h from you again soon. I hope your surfing lessons went well. And I hope your mum does let you learn to play the drum.
Love,
Jessica
Agatha Christie(阿加莎·克里斯蒂)is one of the most popular writers of all time. About four billion copies of her books have been sold. And they have been translated into 103 languages. She is often called the queen of the "whodunit". A whodunit is a story that starts with a crime(犯罪), usually murder(凶杀). Then the main character of the story tries to discover who did it (or who-done-it). Readers love Agatha Christie's stories because there are lots of clues and puzzles for them to think about as they read. Her two most famous characters are the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the elderly amateur(业余的) detective Miss Marple. Christie always wrote about places that she knew, like Torquay, the English town where she was born in 1890.
Agatha Christie died in 1976 but her books continue to be popular today. For one week every year, lovers of her stories can go to the Agatha Christie Festival in Torquay. People dress up in clothes from the1920s and 1930s, like characters in her stories. Jazz bands play at tea parties and there are dinners on old trains and at old country houses. "Murder" is everywhere, and visitors have a lot of fun trying to discover who the "killer" is—or whodunit.
