Dear Mr. Wu
Thank you for your help. I know more about animals now. Some animals are really interesting.
The giraffe has a very long neck, but I was surprised to know that there are only seven bones in it. It is also amazing that a snake eats little or nothing in cold winter. Camels live in very dry places, and it is interesting that they can live without water for a long time. I also know that we need to keep our house clean --- ants can smell things well.
Now I am not afraid of animals any more. I would like to learn more about them.

Kites have a long history in China. The Chinese began to make kites over 2,000 years ago. In the Warring States period, a famous man, Mozi, made a bird out of wood. That was the first kite in history. His student LuBan used bamboo to make kites. In the Eastern Han dynasty, CaiLun found a new way to make paper, and then people began to use paper to make kits. In the 13th century, an Italian man called Marco Polo visited China. He told people in the West all about kites. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, kite flying became a very popular outdoor activity. Weifang, a city in Shandong Province, has become famous for making kites from then on.

Twenty year ago, mobile phones were rather expensive. Only important or rich people had them. However, these days more people have them in their hands, even high school students.
It is true that mobile phones can be very useful. They are an easy way to keep in touch with friends and family members anywhere and at any time. But we also hear mobile phone ringing in places like classrooms, cinemas and museums. The sound is very loud and can disturb people. Some drivers have accidents because they use their mobile phones while driving. So, are mobile phones really a good thing?

Swimming is very popular in summer. People like swimming in summer because water cools them down. But if you swim in the wrong place, it may be dangerous. In the past few years many swimmers have died in the water. However, some people are still not careful enough when swimming. They often think they swim so well that nothing can happen to them. Summer is coming soon. If you go swimming, remember these two rules: don’t get into the water when you are alone and don’t get into the water if there is a “No swimming” sign. If you remember these rules, swimming will be safer.

Our environment is changing for the worse, so it is time for us to go green. Here are some simple steps to take at home.
We can save water by taking shorter showers and turning off the tap when we brush our teeth. In order to save power, we should turn off the lights when we leave a room.
Some other good habits can help reduce pollution too. We should not use plastic bags when shopping. Recycling is also a good way to help reduce pollution. We should separate waste into different groups so that it can be recycled.
Follow these small steps, and you can make a big difference to the Earth!

We are going to hold a talk on good table manners this afternoon. The purpose is to teach students rules for eating.
There will be a lot of advice on table manners. Above all, when you are sitting at the table, you should not start eating until everyone is ready, and it is impolite to make too much noise while you are eating or drinking. You should not eat with your mouth open or talk with food in your mouth. Before you leave the table, wait for everyone to finish.
These rules are important because we should make sure that both guests and hosts are comfortable at the table.

Today we spent the whole day at Disneyland. We got to the park by underground.
First, we had fun at Space Mountain—an indoor roller coaster in the dark. It moved at high speed and was really exciting! We were screaming and laughing through the ride.
Next, we hurried to a restaurant to have a simple meal. On the way, we met some Disney cartoon characters, such as Snow White and Mickey Mouse. They were so cute.
Everybody got excited when a parade of Disney characters began later in the afternoon. It was the best part of the day. I ran after them and couldn’t stop taking photos. After the parade, we watched a 3-D film. It was like magic. We could even smell the apple pie and feel the wind.
We had a fantastic time here.
