Yesterday I read a report on a charity show in a newspaper. The aim of the show was to 1money for the poor children. In the country areas, some children are out of school 2their parents can't pay for their education.
To my surprise, many famous performers took part in the charity show, such as Andy Liu, Jay, Faye Wang, Kitty Chen and so on. The stars didn't ask for any pay. They did it for3 ! There were a lot of performances 4 singing and dancing. The audience were so excited that they 5 their hands from time to time. Of course, the show was a success.
All the people followed the stars' example. A great number of people showed their generosity(慷慨) in 6 their money to the show. Both the ticket money and the donated money were soon sent to the poor areas and some of the poor children can get back to 7 now.
Now many charity shows are held in our country, not only to8 education in poor areas but also to help people in trouble. As the Chinese saying goes, "All the others will come to one's rescue(援助) 9one is in trouble. ''I 10 the whole world will become better if every one of us gives charity to others.
Toronto is the biggest city in Canada. It is famous for the CN tower, Niagara Falls(尼亚加拉大瀑布)and some other famous places.
The CN tower is 553 metres high. It is the world's highest tower. You can stand on a glass floor. Do you think it may break? If you think so, you are wrong, because the glass is very strong. If you look down from the CN tower, you will see a large stadium, the Skydome (天虹体育馆). The Skydome has a special(特殊的) roof(屋顶). The roof can open and close. So don't worry about the rain when you are watching a match there.
Niagara Falls is one of the biggest falls in the world. It is made up of two falls. One is in the US. People call it American Falls. The other is in Canada. People call it Canadian Horseshoe Falls. The Horseshoe Falls drops from 52 metres high. It is 679 metres long. The sound of the water falling is so loud there. You cannot hear yourself talk! It is very exciting!

Our dog Abbey died last month. My 4-year-old daughter Lucy missed her a lot and asked if we could write a letter to God to make sure he could look after Abbey well. I told Lucy that I thought we could, and she dictated(口述) these words:
Dear God, ①you, take, dog, of, will, care, my, please(?) She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her, so when you see her, you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her. love, Lucy |
We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Lucy and addressed it to God/Heaven. Yesterday, we received a package addressed "To Lucy" with this note:
Dear Lucy, Abbey has arrived in heaven. She isn't sick any more. ②Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. You don't need to worry about her. She's being looked after very well here. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. ③You have a wonderful mother. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I'm easy to find. I am wherever there is love. Love, God |
wonderful mother you have !
