You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.
When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. A writer can write books to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TVs, radios and films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.

Dear Editor,
I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city. There are so many colorful peacocks (孔雀)here.
The peacocks mostly (主要）live on the grassland of Dongfeng Square. Visitors can give them food freely. They usually throw food to them, and don't think about at all whether the food is right or not. Some of the peacocks became ill. Some even died after eating the bad food.
I'm sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds, but they don't realize that they may be doing any harm.
We should tell the visitors that what they have done is very harmful to the birds, and we also must stop this kind of thing from happening.
Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For every one of us, it's our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.
Yours,
Sun Yan
