To Make Everybody Happy

Peter is surprised(感到惊奇的) and says, “Uncle George, you seem(似乎) to know everybody here. Where did you meet them all?”

“I don't know all these people,” answers his uncle.

“Then why do you wave to them?”  “Well, Peter,” says his uncle, “When I wave to someone who knows me, he is pleased. He goes on his journey(旅程) with a happier heart. But when I wave to someone who doesn't know me, he is surprised and says to himself, ‘Who is that man?

Dear Li Ming, I’d like to know what you often do in your free time. Do you spend much time on reading? What do you think about reading? I like reading novels (小说) very much. My favourite book is Jane Eyre. It was written by Charlotte Bronte. She was born in Britain. She was a famous writer in the world. She wrote many books and Jane Eyre was one of the best. In this book, she wrote about a woman named Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre wasn’t pretty, but she had a strong idea of self-respect (自尊心). She never gave up whenever she met any difficulties in her life. I was deeply moved by her story. I like the book very much. Yours, Tom
