Our classes are going to meet in front of St. Louis Cathedral at 11:00 on Saturday morning. There are usually lots of people in the square. In front of the cathedral, there are many things to see. Some musicians usually play music in the square and people dance. A few magicians do tricks（戏法）there too.
Then, at about 11:30 am our classes are going to walk through the square. There are usually some artists showing their paintings on the north side of the square. I will take pictures of them.
Then our classes are going to make some food and find a place to eat. I am going to make some fruit salad（色拉）. Cindy is going to make milk shakes. Some are going to bring sandwiches, juice and potato chips. Some are going to bring their favourite CDs.
It is going to be fun. I think everyone is going to enjoy it.
Please let me know if you are going to come!
Yours,
Sarah

Once, in a small village, lived a family with two children, James and Jack. of them loved painting very much, but the family was so that it was impossible to send both of them to study at the art college at the same time. After many discussions, the two boys finally worked a plan. They would throw a coin. The loser would go to work in the mines（矿井） to support his brother's studies at the college. Then, when the brother at college his studies after four years, he would support the other brother's college studies.
James , and so Jack went down into the mines. James worked with all his heart, and his paintings were soon much than those of most of his teachers. By the time he graduated, he was beginning to make a lot of money from his paintings.
When James returned, the family held a big dinner to his great success. Soon after dinner began, James stood up from his seat to drink a toast to his dear brother. He said, "Jack, now you can go to the art college and your dream will come true. I will take care of you."
Jack said softly, "Brother, the four years in the mines has done too much to my hands, so it's too late. Now I can't even hold a glass."
James was heart-broken. One hour , he drew a simple picture of his brother's hands. This drawing is today known as the famous picture named The Praying Hands.
A week has passed since the head teacher scolded（责骂，斥责） her at the school sports meeting, but Jin Ning, 14, still felt unhappy.
The head teacher scolded her for wearing tight clothes instead of the school uniform. But actually Jin wore those clothes to run faster and was going to put on the school uniform after the race.
"I was wronged," Jin said. "I felt angry and sad."
Many students come across similar things with Jin. Sometimes, teachers don't fully know the situation and they make their judgments. It easily leads to misunderstandings. Such things are not only bad for the relationship between students and teachers, but also the healthy development of students.
Zhang Yu, 14, from Anhui Province, thought the best way was to talk to teacher "in private" after some time. "Refuting teachers in public is impolite and will make teachers angrier," she said.
Liu Chun, a teacher from Heilongjiang Province, agreed with Zhang. She said many teachers hurt students' feelings without meaning to. "Students are sensitive. After all, teachers cannot know everything," she said. "So I hope students can come to teachers to clear up the misunderstandings."
For those who feel too shy to do that, Jin offered another choice. She wrote a letter to her teacher. "He talked to me later on and now we're good," she said happily.
