(2019·预测)
Dear Karen，
As you probably know, it's my sister Suzie's 16th birthday in a week. We're planning a surprise party for her. Julie is going to pick her up from school as usual on Friday but she's not taking her home. She's bringing her to the Palace Hotel, the big modern one near the station. We're having a meal there and we've also hired(租用) the ballroom(舞厅) for a party in the evening. I hope you can come!
All her friends from school are coming and quite a few of the people from our village, too. Of course, Mom and Dad are coming up from England and I've managed to persuade(说服) our other sister, Marie, to come over from Australia. She's bringing her kids with her, too.
After the party we're going to have another one on Saturday! Well, not really a party. We're inviting the family and close friends (that includes you) for a meal at the house. If the weather is nice, we'd like to have a barbecue in the garden. Julie is going to make a special cake for Suzie.
Anyway, we hope to make it a really special weekend for Suzie. On Sunday we're all going for a walk in the country. You know how she loves walking and we're all going to need a bit of exercise after all that lovely food. We're hoping to go up to the lake. Marie said she wanted her kids to feed the ducks just like what Suzie and she did when they were very young. I'm sure Suzie will love that, too.
It would be great if you could come over for the weekend. We would all love to see you.
Let me know as soon as you can.
Best，
David

“Excuse me! Could you tell me which is the most important day in our lives? Is it the day we were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful？” the young man asked.
“None. The most important day in our lives is today，” the wise man replied calmly.

“So is it because of my visit？”
“Even if nobody visited me today, today is still very important, because today is the only

The young man still wanted to ask something, but the wise man stopped him and said, “When we are talking about the importance of today, we have wasted a lot of it. That is to say, part of ‘today’ has passed.”
