Dear John,

　　Thank you very much for your letter．I am glad that you enjoyed your holiday with me．We enjoyed having you and your sister here．We hope that you will both be able to come again next year．perhaps you'll be able to stay longer next time you come．A week is not really long enough，is it? If your school has five weeks holiday next year，perhaps you'll be able to stay with us for two of three weeks．

　　We have been long back school three weeks now．It feels like three months! I expect (盼望) that you are both working very hard now that you are in Grade One．I shall have to work hard next year when I am in Grade One．Tom and Ann won't be in Grade One until 2004．

　　They went for a picnic yesterday but I didn't go with them because I cut my foot and I couldn't walk very well．They went to an island and enjoyed themselves there．Do you still remember the island? that's where all five of us spent the last day of our holiday．

Yours

Sea Mail

　　Some people don't need a mailbox to send a message. They use a bottle instead. Here are two stories about people who sent a message in a bottle. Both stories are true.

　　In 1956, a sailor from Sweden was on a ship. He wrote a letter, asking any young woman to write to him. He put the letter in a bottle and threw the bottle into the sea.

　　Two years later, a man found the bottle on a beach in Italy. He read the letter and showed it to his daughter. She was 18. As a joke, she wrote to the sailor. They began to exchange letters. In a few months, they were married.

　　Here is the second story. Back in 1924, a boy from Arkansas wrote his name on the back of his picture. He put the picture in a bottle and dropped the bottle into a river.

　　The bottle was not found for many years. Then one day a man named Bill picked it up on a beach in Florida. He pulled the picture out of the bottle and looked at it. He could hardly believe his eyes. The boy in the picture was his old friend, Tom, from Arkansas. Bill had not seen Tom for 25 years. Somehow the bottle had come to the right place.
