Mr. Clinton and his 3-year-old son Tony are basketball fans. Last October 10th was Tony’s birthday, so Mr. Clinton decided to him to New York, for the first game of the World Series. They had no ticket but hoped to buy a from scalpers.
It was a two hours’ ride. After they arrived, they walked in the street for two hours, carrying a that read, “ We need two tickets.” There were many scalpers around, but the ticket was $200. They were about to when suddenly a man stopped them. He took out two tickets and them to Mr. Clinton.
“How much do you want?”
“Just a ,” said the man. “Enjoy the game.”
Mr. Clinton wouldn’t accept, so the man explained, “I’m Jackson. Hans is my boss. He and his wife haven’t a World Series in 18 years. he is ill and can’t watch the game this time. So he told me to give the two tickets to people who I thought would actually enjoy the game. A lot of people looked they might just take the tickets and sell them. Then I saw you and I you for a while. You seemed very . You made me think of my dad and me when I was a child. I dreamed going to a World Series game with my father. But my dream came true.”
How do you suppose this made Mr. Clinton and his son feel? Here is what Mr. Clinton said： “This is the most wonderful thing ever happened to us. My boy and I must have turned to each other over 30 times and said, ‘I can’t believe this.’ We still never forget Jackson and Hans.”

Dear Kate,
It is very exciting that you are coming to our school so soon. you arrive, let me introduce to you what our school life is like.
Our school is a good where we can prepare ourselves well for the future. We have many wonderful teachers who are always ready to help. Though we pay a lot of attention to how we do in lessons, getting high scores is not the only reason to study. The encourage us to try out new ideas and ask questions in class. With their help we have developed all kinds of in both Arts and Science. Students can choose to any school clubs they are interested in. We can choose the subjects that we want to study. Last term I chose American Literature, because I wanted to learn famous American writers. This term I chose to attend classes because my father bought me a piano as a birthday present.
By the way, I was elected monitor of my class. Sometimes it can be to be a monitor, because I have to do a lot of work and attend many meetings. However, being a monitor has taught me a lot, such as for others and taking responsibilities and so on. When my class was given the title of “Model Class”, I was than ever before. So being a monitor an important part in my school life. I’m very pleased with my work.
I love my school and that you will have a pleasant experience here too. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours
