Dear Linda,
I’m glad to hear from you and I would like to be your pen friend. In your letter, you said you wanted to know something about my school life(生活).
I walk to school at 7:30 every morning because the school is near our house. When I get to school at about 7:45, I often do the cleaning with my classmates. After that we do some reading for half an hour. We have four lessons in the morning. I often have my lunch at 12:00 at school. We usually have two lessons in the afternoon. The school is over at about 5:00 and then I go home.
My favorite subject is Chinese. I like all the teachers because they are friendly. I am keen on sports and I enjoy playing football best. I’m a member of our school football team. What about your school life?
Best wishes!

When you’re having a holiday, one of the main questions to ask is which hotel or apartment to choose. However, when it comes to France, you have another special choice: treehouses.
In France, treehouses are offered to travelers as a new choice in many places. The price may be a little higher, but you do have a chance to call up your childhood memories.
Alain Laurens, one of France’s top treehouse designers, said, “Most of the people might have the experience of building a den (洞穴) when they were young. And they like that feeling of freedom when they are children.”
Its fairy-tale style gives travelers a special feeling. It seems as if they are living as a forest king and enjoying the fresh air in the morning.
Another kind of treehouse is the “star cube”. It gives travelers the chance of looking at the stars shining in the sky when they are going to sleep. Each “star cube” not only offers all the comfortable things that a hotel provides for travelers, but also gives them a chance to look for stars by using a telescope. The glass roof allows you to look at the stars from your bed.

It was hard being the younger of two sisters. I got all the hand-me-downs (旧衣服). I never got to do anything first and my teachers always said, “Oh, you’re Jenny’s little sister.” “No, I am Lauren!” I never liked being the younger. Jenny and I got along with a few fights here and there.
Then a few years ago, Jenny and I were in a car accident. She was okay, but I had a large scar (伤疤) on my face. I was very sad. Jenny told me I shouldn’t worry about the scar.
One day we were riding home from school on the bus. A boy named Jordan made fun of me about my scar. This went on for about a month. Finally I broke down and told Jenny about him. She was angry.
When Jordan made fun of me the next time, Jenny stood up, walked to where he was sitting and said something into his ear. I didn’t know exactly what she said, but Jordan never said a single word to me again.
So, even though getting all of the hand-me-downs might not be the best, I was very happy to have a big sister like Jenny.
When anyone asks now, I will tell them, “Yes, I’m Jenny’s little sister.”

It was my first day at Grade 6. And the first lesson was boring English. When I was doing nothing, Mr Gough, our new English teacher, into the classroom.
To my , he held up a book, The Collected Works of Edgar Allen Poe, and asked if anyone had read it. I put my
up, because Poe was my favorite writer. Mr Gough asked
I really understood what the author tried to say in his book. My reply made him smile, and he asked me to
an essay on that subject.
After that, English classes became a new for me. Mr Gough thought that students had to act out a play to understand it. “Don’t just
it,” he said.
As time passed, we a real friendship. He encouraged me to be a writer in the future. When I left school, he said to me, “You have a gift, Tony, and one day you’ll come to
how useful it is. Make use of it if you want your life to be complete.”。
Years have passed. Now, every time I sit down to write something new, I think of Mr Gough. He was
than just an English teacher, because he also taught me useful lessons in life.
Luke Dollar has spent many years in Madagascar studying lemurs (狐猴).
Reporter: What were you like as a kid?
Dollar: As a kid, I was an explorer. I lived with my grandparents on a farm in Alabama. It wasn’t unusual for me to go to the woods. And I enjoyed that. From the time I was 6 to 16 years old I was an actor. My mom asked me to audition
(试演) for a show in Birmingham. I asked my mom to buy me some video games and she promised (答应), so I got the part. Later, I became a professional actor. So for several years I went everywhere from the Alabama farm to many other cities — all over the USA doing stage productions.
