Dear Jenny.
How is it going? Are you busy with your study these days?
I've been back at school nearly four weeks. I am very glad to tell you that great have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we are aked to "clean our plates" when having our meals and say to waste. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food and money. Now we need to the food we order.
We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we the classroom. And our school has opened up some for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has to grow some tomatoes and beans in our spare time. I think it'll be very interesting. Maybe I'II be able to you some beans we've grown next time.
What's more, we have only two classes in the afternoon we have more time for after-school activities. I am one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns asking people in the streets near our school to the traffic rules.
I think our school life is now improving! Please write back soon and tell me more about your school.
Yours truly,
Wang Wei

Sudha Chandran, a well-known dancer from India, had to have her right leg cut after a car accident. She was also
on her career path.
Though the accident brought her bright career to a
, she didn’t give up. In the
months that followed, Sudha met a doctor who developed a man-made rubber
filled with sponge (海绵). So
she wanted to go back to dance after she had been fitted with her new leg. Sudha knew that she believed in herself and could realize her dream, so she began her courageous journey back to the world of dancing ---
to walk, turn, jump, balance, bend, stretch, twist, twirl...
After every recital (music, dance given by one person) she would ask her dad about her performance. “You
have a long way to go” was the answer she used to get in return. In January 1984, Sudha made a historic
by giving a public recital in Bombay. She performed in such a great success that it moved everyone to tears and this
pushed her to the highest position again. That evening when she asked her dad the
question, he didn’t say anything. He just touched her feet as praise.
Sudha’s comeback was so moving that a film producer
to make the story into a hit film.
When someone asked Sudha how she had managed to dance again, she said quite simply, “You don’t need feet to dance.
is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win, you can achieve anything.” (266)
