Dear Sarah,
I’m writing because I want to apologize to what I did last week. I’m really sorry. I know we said 8:30, and I would’ve gotten here on time if everything hadn’t gone wrongly. I was late because my watch broke and I didn’t know what the time it was. So you see, I would’ve arrived on time if my watch hadn’t broken. Then I have to walk because I’d missed the bus. And then I fell over and my trousers got dirty, so I had to go home and get changing. Then I decided to catch another buses, but it was too late. I would have phoned you and my brother had taken my mobile phone. Anyway, I hope you aren’t too angrier with me. Hope to hear you soon.
Yours,
Jack

Today my classmate and I went to a farm for a trip. I get up at six o’clock and we set off by bus. On the bus, some of us sang, and some of us talked. We all had good time. Two hours late, we arrived at the gate of the farm, that the

farmers were waiting to give us a warm welcome. After we were shown around the big farm, they began to plant trees. It was really a good way to getting close to nature and protect the environment at the same time. Next, we had a picnic and it was great fun to eat on the open air. Finally, we went home at half past four. Although all of us was tired, our trip was really very more unforgettable.

Both my father and mother has been wanting me to study abroad. They think that it’s natural to master a foreign language in an English-speaking country and that studying abroad at early age will enable me to be dependent. Moreover, it will be easier to me to gain advanced knowledge of technology, that will prepare me for a brighter future. Moreover, my good friend, Zhang Hua doesn’t agree with them. He thought my English is too limited to communicate with foreigners. Besides, the cost is too much for his family. In my opinions, I should continue to study in China. As long as I study hard at now, I’ll make great achievements in the future.

Advertising informs consumers about newer products available on the market. It gives us information with everything from shampoo to toothpaste to computers and cars. But there is one serious problems with this. The information are actually very often misinformation. It tells us the products’ benefits but hides its disadvantages. Advertising not only leads us to buying things that we don’t need and can’t afford, but it confuses our sense reality. “Zoom toothpaste prevents bad teeth and gives you the white teeth!” the advertisement tells us. And it doesn’t tell us the complete truth that a health diet and a good toothbrush will have the same effect.

other side of town. He told his friends that he was getting so old to look after her. A week later, in a very cold winter day, my grandfather returned home from shopping and surprised to see the cat on his doorstep. My grandfather was moved by the fact that his pet had found his way back from the other side of town in such a cold weather. He took the cat outside and gave her lots of loving attention. He decided he will never give her away again.

Bedouin, the Arab people who live in the desert, living in a traditional society. This means they live on much the same way as their ancestors did. People who live in traditional societies has strong ties to the past. Customs and beliefs have changed very slower. They fear that when changes will make their lives worse rather than better. Values are passing on with little changes from one generation to the next. Yet changes do take place. All cultures change, but they change much quickly at some periods than at other. In very recent years, changes have taken place very quickly everywhere, including deserts of Southwest Asia and North Africa.

My uncle and aunt come home one evening and discovered huge hole in their roof. They also found that their dog was dead and their furniture were covered in horrible-smelling matter. Upset by which they saw, they phoned the police. After the police looked into the problem, they were told what had happened to. It seemed that the container holding the wastes from the toilets on a passing plane had burst openly. The contents froze in the atmosphere as it fell towards the ground. Then the resulting block of ice crashed through the roof and broke into piece, killing the dog after melting in their house.

watching TV, playing chess, or going to cinema. But I think we’d better to have more outdoor activities. As students, we usually sit too longer in the classroom, and as a result our eyes and brains getting tired. But it’s a good idea to play basketball, football, table tennis, go swimming, do some runnings, or even go for a picnic. Our brains also need changes to make it smart and active. In a word, exercise is good for the health.
