Dear sister:

　　I've been happy here in New York. But when holidays are coming near, I really feel “There's no place like home,” just like the English proverb says, “East, west, home is the best.

　　You must be doing well in English class. The letter you sent to me was written in good English.

　　Well, I want to bring my friend Diana to our home. I dare not tell Mama directly. If Dad and Mum say that will be all right, please write to me as soon as possible.

　　Diana is a poor girl whose parents died last month in a terrible accident. She has to spend the holidays alone. She wants to see China and try everything that we Chinese do. She has learned Chinese for two years and can speak a little. She has great curiosity about our family life and will ask you many questions about it. Isn't it a good chance to understand each other? I'm sure you'll learn many things from her.

　　Please give my love to our father and mother!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Your sister,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    Mei

Dear Harry Potter,

Well, I' m also a wizard at school, And I can often get As, but I am' not a bookworm.. I like to play jokes in class, thich sometimes make my teachers angry. I also have many friends. They often get me into and out of trouble. No matter what has happened, we still get close together.

      Oh, I almost forget to tell you that our school is almost like yours, Hogwarts. It's a special one for excellent students. We have hodern classes and technology lessons. But when much is given, much is expected. So I often stay up late just to finish my homework. It really makes me tired and bored.

     Luckily, I can read your stories in my free time. I feel like I know you. You have a mind of your own. You are young, but you know how to take responsibility(责任) for your decisions. Also you, think with a clear head even in danger. What a great boy you are! How I wish I could meet you soon!

      May you have a nice time.

Yours, Kevin
