When I was young, I liked to play jokes on people I knew, especially on my parents and friends. One day my mother was cooking in the kitchen and my younger brother was playing near the window. I ran to my mother and said, “My brother has fallen from the open window!” She was very worried about my brother and then I said, “Don’t worry. I’m just joking.” And my mother shouted at me, “If you do it again, I’ll punish(惩罚) you.”
One day I went swimming with my friends in the sea. I wanted to play a joke on my friends. In the beginning, I went swimming alone, and I called to my friends, “ Help me!” All my friends came to help me, only to find out that I was joking. But the next time I wasn’t joking. I swam in deep water and I was so careless that I was almost drowned(淹死). I tried my best to call my friends for help, but this time nobody came to help me. In the end, they found I was telling the truth(真话). They came and saved my life. They took me to the emergency center. From then on, I haven’t joked on anyone. I think this is the best lesson in my life.

Dear Lin Ping,
How are you getting on? Thanks for telling me something about your school life. I’m glad you’re doing well in your English study.
As you know, I began to learn Chinese 2 years ago. Now let me tell you something about my Chinese study. Though I can read and write a little Chinese, I’m still weak in listening and my spoken Chinese isn’t improving. I find it hard to talk with the people around in Chinese. Could you give me some advice? How I wish I could talk to you in Chinese one day!
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Sally
