    It was a fine day. Sherlock Holmes invited his best friend Doctor Watson to go camping with him. They found a nice hill and put up their tent. Then they went fishing and climbed the hill. They began to chat (聊天) happily.

    "Watson, look up into the sky and tell me what you can see." said Holmes.

    ""Watson replied.

    Holmes asked again, "What does that tell you?"

    Watson thought for a while, "It tells me that there are tons of galaxies (星系) and planets."

    Holmes continued asking, ""

    Watson smiled. "It tells me that God is great and powerful. At the same time, "

    "Oh, I think so. Is that all?" asked Holmes.

    "No, as for the weather, What does it tell you?" Watson said.

    Holmes laughed. "Someone has stolen our tent."

    Music is good for us. According to the new study (研究) from the World Health Organization (WHO), music can us happier and healthier. For example, when I feel tired, listening to some classical music helps me relax. When I'm down, I prefer pop music of hope and energy (能量). is easy for me to fall asleep with soft music. Some doctors have found a fact—people love music may live longer.

    Near my neighborhood, a man and wife own a small music house with mood music (情调音乐). Teenagers like to spend time here while musicians are different kinds of music. Sometimes, we are lucky to hear some famous singers sing songs written themselves. The songs are beautiful that we sing along with them. We communicate with one another in this special language. The most moving music is Chinese folk music. It only reminds us of the old days but also brings us sweet memories.

    Every one of us, rich or poor, young or old, may have at one favorite song. Music will be together with us forever.

Dear Miss Zhao,

    Thank you for introducing the summer camp program to me. This program is organized by Yueyang Education and Sports Bureau (岳阳市教体局). It has brought over 500 middle school students to the countryside to experience the life here.

    We have been in this small village for six days. Every morning we get up early, breathe the fresh air and hear the birds sing in the woods. 我们一走出房子，就可以看到花、草、树木和动物。 We go for walks through the countryside and watch the villagers do their daily activities.

    Li Guoqing, a sixty-year-old villager says, "Thanks to the government, great changes have taken place in the countryside. People mustn't cut down trees or build houses on the farmland (农田). Anyone is not allowed to make our rivers or lakes dirty. All villagers are supposed to put rubbish in the bin."

    We really enjoy the trip and come to realize the importance of protecting the environment. 每个人都应该参与保护环境。 If the environment is taken good care of, we'll have a cleaner and greener world. The clean water and green mountains are our treasures.

Yours truly,

He Wei
