Dear Li Hua，

Your problem is common one among middle school students. Maybe the following advices can help you. First in all， believe in yourself. Your greatest problem is that you lack self-confidence. The first thing you must do it is to smile at your classmates. One smile speaks loud than words. Your smile will show that you are friendly to him. Next， trying talking with a student who is as shy as you or who share the same interest with you. Unless anyone is in trouble， you should be ready to help him or her. Once you have confidence， you can make as many friends as possibly.

Yours，

Linda

Last Friday our school invited a foreign teacher in our city give a class to the students of Senior Grade Two. We found his class interested. I learned a lot of from him. The teachers had a free talk to us with easy English. He spoke slow so that we could understand him well. Sometimes he repeated what we dont understand. My classmates were all active. To his joy， I understood everything which the teacher said， and I was able to ask questions in English. This class encouraged me very much. Im sure that if we keep on practise， it will be easy for us to learn spoken English well.

Today is Sunday. Ive been in Canada for two months. This is the first time that Ive been away my family for such a long time. With the help of Katia， a roommate of me， Ive soon got used to live without my parents around. Katia， like many other Russian girls， are nice and lively. We became friends shortly after we meet each other. Although her English is a little hardly to understand， we enjoy chatting and we usually talk a lot about our own family. Were both surprised that Chinese culture or Russian culture are so different. Now we are planning a small party for the next Sunday. There， Katia will introduce me to some of her friends， one of who has been to China several times. I just cant wait.

Uncle Marion was one of my mothers younger brother. He is died now. When I was a teenager， he taught us how to hunt in the New Jersey woods used the hours before dawn. We usually left home at three oclock in the morning， stayed in local restaurant for breakfast， and then travel on to one of his hunting destinations. Just after dawn， he would find the right spot in the woods. He would show me how not to make a sound and a movement. Though I never hunted an animal successfully， but I learned to be brave and patiently through the experience.

In recent year many flower shops have been appeared in our small town. It is common for people to buy flowers when they go to a gathering， visiting a sick friend， or attend a wedding or birthday party. I still remember clear one day last year when Tom， a disabled student， presented some flowers for his mother to express his gratitude to her. He owes his entire life to his mothers kind and care. Without her he would not have had the confidence and the courage to fight his disability. As a result the great effort he has made， he was finally admitted to a key university.

Dear Sir，

Last year I bought the refrigerator in your store on Hong Qi Street. We all like the shape of the refrigerator. Recently I have found anything is wrong with it. It begins to make a noise when turned on. At first it is low but gradual it becomes louder and louder. To make matter worse， it even stopped working sometimes. We all feel disappointing. I am writing to you to ask for the help. Would you please send a person to repair？ I will be at home this weekend. Please call me until you come here. My telephone number is 66065531. Thanks you very much.

One day I pushed my cousin Li Dong in wheelchair on an especial narrow sidewalk. We struggled along with one wheel on the sidewalk or the other on the road. Suddenly， a man rode his motorcycle passed us rapidly， missing Li Dong by several inch. Immediately， he turned round， stopped his motorcycle and came over. We were worried she would blame us for have stood in his way. For our surprise， he said nothing at all and helped to push the wheelchair until we reached a slightly wider sidewalk. Then he left after we could say thanks to him. We were leaving ashamed of what we thought.

Skiing is my favorite sport， even though I had only skied for four days in my whole life！ Last year my father promised that if my brother Victor did good in his exams， he would bring us to South Korea for a special holiday. When Victor got straight As， Dad said， “I promised a special holiday. I think I should keep my words.” Victors dream was to see real snow. But we flew to Seoul for Christmas vacation， and then took a bus to Muju Resort. Climbed up the mountain， we saw some snow on the trees. We began to play snow！ No one at my family had ever touched snow before. We were all like the little children. We picked snow up， made snowballs， and threw it at each other.

The first time I decide to leave home was when I was upon graduation in high school. I was having trouble get along with my parents. I had about fifty dollar in my pockets， and I thought about leaving home. It took me only two weeks away from home while I started to feel homesick. Living on my own is a total different experience for three main reasons： being more responsible， more decisive and more creative. Because of Im on my own， I get to deal with my duties without being told. I have to be more careful because my parents are not there to give me their advice. In the other hand， I can make my own future plan. I have made rules for me to follow.
