    Where is Love? How can we find Love?

    Once a little boy wanted to find Love. He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got his things 1 with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw an old woman 2 in the park and watching some birds.

    She looked very 3. The boy gave her a 4 . She took it and smiled at him.

    The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so he gave her a Coke. She smiled once again. The boy was very happy.

    They sat there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said 5. When it got dark, the boy decided to leave. But after he walked a few meters, he 6, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. The woman gave him her biggest 7ever.

    When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised to see the8 on his face and asked what made him so glad. The boy answered, "I had lunch with Love. She has got the most beautiful smile in the world." At the same time, the old woman's son was also surprised at his mother's pleasure and asked why.

    "I ate a pizza in the park with 9," she said, "and he is much younger than I expected."

    If the world is 10 of love, we can enjoy a better life.

You will also get free lunches and T-shirts when the clean-up ends at noon. We are going to have a friendly competition to see which team can pick up the most rubbish.

    Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so quickly  I didn't understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because I didn't know to pronounce words correctly. I just hid, behind my textbook and never said

    Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I  in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I began to  other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning listening for just the key words. My pronunciation improved as well by listening to the conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the to language learnning. I also learned useful like "It's a piece of cake" or "It serves you right". I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up in a dictionary.

    Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I can have better understanding of English movies.

Dear Xia Yu,

    Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May, and the other is Father's Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children often give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gifts to their parents. I believe that there, are many ways to show our love. Actually, we don't have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.

—June
