Dear Alice,

　　I just received your letter．And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model(模特)．

　　Being a model for a living is not easy．In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldn't see．I can't eat what I like, even though I'm very hungry．Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model．

　　Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air．And practicing walking nicely every day is tiring for me．

　　You might say I made much money from modeling．But my dear niece(侄女), you have to know that money is nothing, knowledge is everything．School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time．The longer they stay at school, the better they will be．Very often, I hope I can give up my job and continue my studies at school．But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again．I am too old to go back to school now．

　　You are a pretty young girl with a bright future．You only have one year to finish your studies in high school．A year is really short．Please do consider my words carefully before you decide．Of course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness．

Love,

Emma

　　It was a great day for a picnic and a picnic was a great day to start the summer holiday．Fred brought his classmates John and Betty to a wonderful picnic place．

　　After lunch, John said they should play football．When the ball came to Fred, he locked it into some long grass．“I’ll get it．” he said and hurried off to find the ball．Moments later there was a shout and out came Fred holding his leg, “I’ve bitten by a snake!”

　　As the others rushed over to help．Fred began laughing．“Ha!I’m not really hurt．” But Betty didn’t laugh, “I can’t believe you did that, Fred．I was really frightened for you．”

　　The friends then decided to go for a swim．John and Betty jumped into the water．Fred was standing on a long rock by the riverbank and said, “Watch me jump．” They shouted excitedly as he went under the water, but as the seconds passed he didn’t come back to the top．The friends became worried．Suddenly they heard Fred’s laugh, “Won’t you ever learn?I swam behind this tree when I jumped．”

　　“Very funny, Fred?” said John angrily．“Anyway, I’m feeling tired and I’m going for a sleep．” Betty joined him．

　　Fred, however, moved to a narrow part of the river and jumped in．Although he was a good swimmer, the water there was moving much faster and Fred found himself dragged away．He managed to catch hold of a tree, but he was very tired now and with the water still moving very fast, couldn’t pull himself out．

　　Back at the picnic place, as Betty and John were preparing to sleep, they heard Fred’s cries for help, John looked at Betty and said, “Does he really think we’re so foolish?Wake me up in an hour．It’ll be time to go back home then．”

　　One bright sunny day our class went out to the schoolyard．Miss Brooks told us to look for something on the ground that belonged to us．We looked and looked．Finally Mike cried,“I know! It's my shadow on the ground．”

　　We saw that each girl and boy had a shadow and Miss Brooks had a bigger one．

　　I tried some funny tricks．When I moved, my shadow moved．When I ran, my shadow ran, too．But I could not catch it in the least．The Jess found a long and thin bamboo pole and stuck it into the ground．Even the pole had a shadow．

　　All this started me thinking about shadows．I didn't have a shadow the day before, when I walked in the very dark tunnel．My shadow is never with me in my room at night when the light is out．

　　I can't stop thinking about me and my shadow and about what makes shadows．I am going to look for more shadows because they are lots of fun．
