My father is now in his late forty but he looks young for his age. He is very strict with me, especial in my studies. Besides, I know he loves me deeply in his heart. Once I had failed to do well in my math exam, I was afraid that it would make my father angry and disappointing. On contrary, he said I had tried my best and offered him a few words of encouragement. He told me that there is no need to feel bad about one and two failures and the most important thing is to learn anything from failure and never give up. Today is Father’s Day and I want to say thank you for my father.

Dear Jerry,
I’m glad to know that you had an interest in Chinese food. Here I’d like to tell you something about them. Chinese food is famous with its wide variety(种类). The food in one area can be easy told from that in another. For example, Shanghai food, a little bit sweet, differ from Sichuan food that is rather hot. However, every kind of the Chinese food is worth trying because each has a delicious taste and good for health. Since the restaurant in China usually serves special dish of different areas, you can enjoy kinds of Chinese foods whenever you are. I’m looking forward to meet you here so that I can tell you more about Chinese food at table.

Dear Tom,
I was surprising to receive your letter a few days ago. Since I came to the new school, I had planned to write to you. Therefore, the busy life of the school spared me no time. After came to the school, I made up of my mind to study hard. To tell you the truth, that was Miss White, my new English teacher, who changed my mind. She suggested that I give in my bad habits. Although he is very strict with us, all the students fond of her.
I have to stop here. I am looking forward to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

Manager,
I am an exchange student from China. Yesterday, I went to your cinema to see a film. The film was very well, but I did not enjoy it because there were some problem in the cinema.
First, the film was delayed as there were so much advertisements at the beginning. It was rather annoyed. Second, the sound of the film was too loud that I could hardly bear. The EXIT signs could not be seen clearly, which presented potential safety hazards. If something terribly should happen, it will be difficult for people to get out quickly.
As a visitor to your city, I’m disappointed with my experience in your cinema. I am writing a letter in the hope that you can consider about these problems and make more improvements.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

Last night it snowed heavy. When Susan and I got up in this morning, we found the whole garden was covered with thick snow. So we decided clear the path. We got two spades but began our work at once. We both worked so hard that the path was clear soon. Seen this, our father felt very surprising. He smiled happily at us, telling us that we have done a good job and that he was proud for us. Finally Father gave us some pocket money as a reward for the Spring Festival. Susan and I was happy because we had all got the money through labor.

After the final examination, my brother and I planned to give us a treat at a restaurant. While waited for our food, we emptied all our small changes from our wallets on the table and counted it out. Soon, our food arrived with note. It reads, “Your lunch has been paid for. Have a lovely meal!” It was a wonderful surprise as nothing like that had ever been happened to us. I remembered an old man sitting nearby. He should have thought we didn’t have enough money to the bill. We looked around to thank him, and he was not there. His kind meant so much to us.

Ask your friend that he can use a glass of water as a musical instrument. Of course, he can’t.
Next, you take a glass of water, put your finger into the water and then move it slow round the
rim of the glass, as showing in the picture. Your finger must not be too wet, but it must be dry. So you have to try many time. At last you will hear clear music which came from the glass. When your finger moves round the rim, it makes the glass to vibrate and the glass makes a musical sound. The same principle makes the violin or its strings give music.
The America scientist Benjamin Franklin made a musical instrument out of glass bowls, using the different principle.

One day, a little girl felt down onto the ground．A boy went over and wanted to help her up, but his mother stopped him, say, “Don’t do that, or others will think you had knocked her down.”
Another day, the mother, much surprised, saw that their son just watched the fallen oil bottle lying on the ground as if nothing has happened．When asked why, the son answered, “If I had help the bottle up, you would have thought that I did it.”
I don’t agree with what the mother did．I think that parents should let their children to know it is a pleasure to help others who is in trouble．We are big family．We should care for and help each other．
