Joseph has written a letter to his cousins, James and Susan. Here is the letter.
Dear James and Susan,
I am writing to you again because I am at home in bed. I have a cold recently and I am unable to go to school. I've got a fever and a bad headache as well. In addition, I'm always thirsty, probably as a result of the fever. But, with a lot of effort, I'm writing a letter to you.
The weather here in Toronto is horrible. I am sure the weather is much better in Hong Kong. Do you agree? The snow came a bit early this year and it was freezing cold. It's surprising to see kids playing in the snow happily and building "castles" and snowmen this morning. A few of them made snowballs by pressing snow together and threw them at each other.
I am going to have my examination soon, I'm worried about it because I'm too sick to get out of bed to hold my text-books. What's more, I haven't attended school for nearly one week. I have to work hard to catch up with my classmates.
I have got a new mate recently. That is Bobby, our cat. Uncle Tom gave him to me as my birthday present. He is rather disobedient and he runs here and there from time to time. However, I'm glad to have him as my friend at the moment.
Please write to me if you have time.
Yours,
Joseph
Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and go into their offices, factories or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up earlier in the morning and arrive1later in the evening.
One benefit(益处) of living outside London is that houses are 2. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to hire(租金). With the same3, people can get bigger house in the country with a garden of its own.
Then, in the country people can get 4from noise and hurry of the town. Although people have to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, people can sleep better at night.
Some people, however, take5interest in country things, for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants, such people would feel that life was not worth living if they had to6it outside London. A walk in one of the parks and a visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want.
Now students' English handwriting gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel w. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are for steps that really work!
Use paper with lines
Using paper with lines can keep your writing straight i of up or down when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the r size.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it's hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more m.
Hold your pencil right
When you hold your pencil in a correct way, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and don't hold the pencil so hard. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good h.
Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a sports player, what do you do when your f run up to you? Give them your autographs(亲笔签名), of course.
Nick is a student from California. He weighs 147 pounds (about 67kg). But do you know what he used to be like? Six months ago, he weighed about 202 pounds (91kg). How did he lose all that weight in only half a year?
"One day, I was surprised to find that I weighed about 202 pounds," Nick said. "I thought I had to do something."
Nick is from a boxing(拳击) family. His father and two elder brothers are all professional boxers. So he decided to start boxing. He began with simple exercises. Then he started running. "I don't like running," he said. "But I really wanted to be thin and strong at that time, so I had no choice but to keep on."
Months later, Nick joined a boxing club in his city. He is always the first kid to begin exercising, and the last to leave the club. His coach(教练), James White said, "Nick is more hard-working than any other boy in the club. I'm very happy to see him lose the pounds so quickly."
Nick is very happy with his weight now. There is a family photo in his room from 18 months ago. "Each time I look at the photo, I laugh at myself. I was so big then." Nick said. "I look thinner and stronger now."
