Hi Jake,
How's it going? Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while, but couldn't use my computer for a few days. You'll never guess what happened to me!
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to take up yoga. Yoga is a combination of physical and breathing exercises. It's supposed to be good for relaxation and . I've been feeling a bit stressed about my school work recently and I thought yoga might help.
My dad couldn't give me a lift to the first lesson, so I decided to . The lesson was great and I felt really relaxed afterwards. On the way home, though, it started raining and I got very wet! The next day, I woke up with a bad cold. I couldn't stop .
I couldn't go to school I also had a high temperature. We were having a math test that day so it was great that I could stay at home. I didn't really , though. I felt awful and stayed in bed. Mum brought me cups of hot tea for my sore throat(and you know how much I hate tea! ). She went to the chemist's and got me some vitamin pills. I have to keep taking these for a while I can get stronger.
That afternoon Robbie came to visit me. He said he'd got something to and pretended it was the math test that I'd missed "Mr Bank says you can do it at home instead,” he said, but I knew he was joking. I didn't think it was very , but he did!
The next day, I was still a bit pale and didn't have much energy, but I was feeling better. The day after that, I was able to go back to school.
Can you believe my luck? I went to the yoga class to feel and instead I caught a cold!
Anyway, I hope you're OK. Write and let me know what you've been up to!
Bye for now!
Kate

Then the son walked to the riverside and he some women washing clothes there. Right at that moment, a bullock cart(牛车) started crossing the river. As a result, the water became very dirty. “I mustn't take the dirty water to my father,” he thought. So he came back and said. “Look, Father. A bullock cart the river now, so the water is dirty and it can't be drunk.” Father said nothing.

I back clean water this time, even though it will take me a long time.” Then he sat there, waiting until the water was clean. He collected some in a bowl and took it back.
“Oh, you are back at last, I for you for almost half an hour.” Father said. After the water, he looked up at his son and said, “Now, about what made the water clean. You let it be and the water became clean on its own. It is also the same with your mind. When it is disturbed(打扰), just let it be, and it will calm down on its own.”
The son thought for a while and said, “Thank you, Father. I this forever.”
We can make best decisions when we stay calm.
