Dear Auntie Em，
Great news! Mrs. Mumford just told me I had been chosen as one of the school （61） （student） to visit the University of Cape Town in South Africa this summer! She said the program （62） （design） for some of the brighter teenagers to experience a different culture．（63） a good chance!
The only problem is：mom and dad （64） （simple） won't let me go．They said it was dangerous for me，a girl，（65） （travel） alone．But my guess is that they think it too expensive．I kept telling （66） （they） I had been on a plane alone to visit you in Texas before．They needn't worry about me（67） this trip would be almost the same as that one．（68） ．They just won't listen!
Will you help，Auntie Em？It will be （69） very important experience to my personal growth．
Love，（and love you even （70） （much） if you manage to make mom & dad agree with me．

Have you ever been cycling（骑自行车运动）？This spring my elder brother and I （66） （spend） a long weekend cycling in the countryside．We rode（67） （slow） along because we hadn't come to break any speed records，or to do sports．We just wanted （68） （get） some fresh air and a break from schoolwork．We really had a great time（69） （ride） along country roads．And there was one of the best things about our trip that made us happy：every few （70） （kilometer） there was a village where we could find everything we needed．
All the local people were really friendly．However，（71） the second day，something noise，but I didn't mind at all．At midnight we were woken by the noise in the hotel．We were tired（72） we set off the next morning，but soon felt cheerful when the sun came out．
What we enjoyed（73） （our） most about cycling is﹣it's simple and fun．I think nothing is（74） （good） than cycling if you're looking for a break that is active and cheap．Why not have a try？
