A goup of working adults got together to visit their teacher． The teacher was glad to see them， and they talked about everything in their life． All of a sudden， conversations soon turned intocomplaints（抱怨） about stress in work and life．
The teacher just smiled and went to the kitchen to get different cups﹣﹣﹣some in plastic， somein glass， some plain （平庸） looking and some looked rather expensive． The teacher offered his students the cups to get drinks for themselves．
When all the students had a cup in hand with water， the teacher spoke． "If you noticed， allthe nice looking， expensive cups were taken up， leaving behind the plain and cheap ones．It is normal that you only want the best for yourselves， but that is the beginning of your problems and stress． What all of you wanted was water， not the cup， but we went for the better cups．"
Just like in life， if Life is Water， then the jobs， money and position in society are the cups．They are just tools to hold Life， but the quality of Life doesn't change． If we only care about thecup， we won't have time to enjoy the water in it．

Dear Betty,
I hope you’re well. I’m on holiday in London with my friend Jenny. We arrived by plane on Monday and took a taxi to our hotel. I went for a walk in Hyde Park but Jenny didn’t come with me because she was tired.
Then on Tuesday we saw the clock, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace. Queen Elizabeth lives in the Palace, but we didn’t see her! I bought some presents but Jenny didn’t buy anything!
The next day we visited the British Museum and had dinner in a Chinese restaurant!
On Thursday morning we relaxed. Then we went to Tower Bridge on the River Thames and looked at the city. It’s very big!
Finally today I did some shopping and Jenny listened to a concert in the park. I came back to the hotel and read the newspaper. Then I wrote some postcards and sent some emails. I took lots of photos and I’m sending them with this email to you!
Tomorrow we’re going to fly home. It was a short holiday, but it was great! Say hello to your mum and dad.
Love,
Gran
