March 29th,
Dear Diary,
I’m writing this at my room. It’s almost midnight and I have to getting up early tomorrow, but I can’t sleep. I’m thinking about my future! Every day, my parents asks me, “What do you want to be when you grow?” The problem is: I don’t know! My mom always says, “Be a doctor!” And she doesn’t understand — to be a doctor, you have to study for a long, long time and that’s not her idea of fun. Also I’m really bad at biology at the school. My dad says, “Be a pilot!” Is he crazy? He knew I hate flying!
Now I’m getting tiring, so I’m going to bed. I can think about my future in bed. I get my best ideas when I’m lain down.

I have known my friend Rebecca for a long time. We firstly met at a friend’s birthday party five years before. We found out that we both liked singing and dancing, so I invited Rebecca over to my place. We listened to the music together and soon became best friends. Three years ago, Rebecca’s parents invited me go on

holiday with them. It is great. We spent three wonderful weeks in a little cottage. Rebecca and I loved walking along the beautifully beach. We took a lot of photos and had a lot of funs. Last year, Rebecca’s father changed her job, and they moved to other town. Since then we haven’t seen each other very much, but we’ve talked in the phone and we’ve written emails to each other.

Dear Joe,
How are you? Thanks to your post — good to know when you’re OK. I’ve got news too. I’m going on holiday next weeks with my brother and Anna, a friend from school. We’re going to stay on a farm with four days! We’re going to look after the animals and doing some horse-riding. I’m sure I’ll love it. You know how crazy I am about the animals! I want to learn all about the cows or the horses. I hope I will have some times to go walking in the hills, too. Well, right now I’m going to finish homework — lots to do before the holiday! I’ll write to you when I get back to telling you about my holiday.
Yours,
Nadia

People had always been interested in bees. This interest may have begun with the honey what bees make. In the fact, it has been found that people have been eating honey for thousand of years. In the more recently past, people were interested in the way bees made honey. They admired the way bees seemed to working so hard. Some languages even developed expressions about people working like bees. In English, for example, we talk with a “busy bee”. Now scientists has a new reason to be interested in bees. They have discovered that bees able to

Yesterday afternoon, I took the No. 6 bus to go home. It was crowded on the bus, and I had listened to music by my earphones. Suddenly I saw the name of the bus stop that I should get off, so I got off the bus in hurry. When I arrived home, I realized that I had left my bag on the bus. My ID card and ten books were in the bag. I was worried and eager to finding it, so I went to the bus companies for help. Fortunate, at the Lost and Found, I see my bag. I wanted to thank the person who had found my bag, and the staff there said the person hadn’t left his name. How a good man!

I read an interested piece of news on a newspaper today. According to Professor Richard Wiseman, only less than a quarter of the British achieved their New Year goals because they do it in the wrong way. He studied 700 volunteers who made a wide ranges of New Year goals, including quitting smoking, losing the weight, or gaining a qualification. Just 22 percent of the participants managed to meeting their goals or described their progress like “very successful.” The reason so much failed was that they took the wrong approach and led by self-help books in the wrong way. They tended to spend a lot of time on thinking about the “bad things” what would happen if they did not achieve their goals instead of taking action.

Last weekends, I went shopping by myself. It was a sunny day and I feel very happy. When I had bought anything I needed, I went to the bus stop to take a bus. Unfortunately, there were too much people at the bus stop. Then it was my turn to get on, there was no room. I had to wait the next bus. Suddenly, it started to rain. I had no choice but to call a taxi. Half way through the journey, the taxi
