　　Different people have 　　4　　 ideas about the teleshopping．Some people like teleshopping because it 　　5　　 them to do their shopping 　　6　　 leaving home．But at the same 　　7　　, some other people do not like this 　　8　　 way of shopping．They usually worry about the 　　9　　 of the things．Good quality is important to them, and 　　10　　 cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV．

　　Last week I read a report on a charity show．The aim of the show was to 　　1　　 money for the poor children who were out of school 　　2　　 their families didn't have 　　3　　 money for their children．

　　Many famous pop stars 　　4　　 the charity show, such as Jackie Chan and Lin Junjie．The stars didn't 　　5　　 any pay(报酬)．They did that for free．There were a lot of performances, including singing and dancing．The audience were 　　6　　 excited that they clapped their hands(鼓掌)from time to time．Of course, the show was 　　7　　．

　　All the people followed the 　　8　　 examples．They gave their money to the charity show．Both the ticket money and the donated money would be sent to the poor areas and some of the poor children would get back to school．

　　Now many charity shows 　　9　　 in our country, not only to support education in poor areas but also to help people in trouble．I hope the whole world will become more and more beautiful 　　10　　 people's help．

Dear Nancy,

　　Thanks for your message．Yes, I'm having a great time on my exchange program in France．It's even better than I thought it would be．I was 　　1　　 nervous before I arrived here, but there was 　　2　　 reason to be．My host family is really nice．They 　　3　　 to make me feel at home．And you wouldn't believe how quickly my French has improved! I'm very comfortable speaking French now．My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table．As you 　　4　　 imagine, things are really different from the way they are at home．For example, you shouldn't put your bread on your plate．You 　　5　　 it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, 　　6　　 now I'm used to it．You shouldn't eat anything with your hands 　　7　　 bread, not even fruit!(You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.)Another thing is that it is very 　　8　　 to say you're full．If you don't want any more food, you should just say, "It was delicious．" Also, it's not polite to put your hands in your lap．You should always keep your hands, but not your elbows, on the table．I have to say, I find 　　9　　 difficult to remember everything, but I'm gradually getting used to things, and don't find them so strange any more．I'll write soon and tell you more about life in France．Hope 　　10　　 a good school year．

Wang Kun
