Smiling is the best way of making friends.

When I was thirteen   46   old, my father found a job in the city. So my family moved there. I also came to a   47   school near where we live. My old school was far away. At first, I did not know anyone in my class. I was very lonely  48   I was afraid to make friends with my classmates. I   49   talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn’t want my parents to   50   me.

Then one day, something good happened. I was sitting at my desk  51   as usual while my classmates were talking happily with each other. At that moment,   52   came into the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked   53   me and, without a word, smiled. Suddenly, I felt happy, lively and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other classmates and made friends. Day by day, I became   54   to everyone in my class.

  55   the smile, I have moved on to a new life. Now, I believe that the world is what you think it is. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

Hello Sandy,

We have just returned from our holiday. We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds.

Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as he used to. However this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!

I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley（峡谷）below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains（蒸汽火车）are very popular. I have taken many photos of the train and from it.

Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early （we usually expect snow in January）. It rained all day, and then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine!

Both Jenny and I are well. I don’t know if I told you, in the last E-mail, that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is enjoying the work.

Please write to us to tell us your news.

Yours,

Victor
