1.Mrs Wilson ,
I’m going out shopping , and won’t be back until about 5:00 pm. I have taken with me the two books you asked me to return to the city library . At about 1 o’clock this afternoon , Tracy called ,saying that she couldn’t meet you at Bolton Coffee tomorrow morning as she has something important to attend to . She felt very sorry about that , but said that you could set some other time for the meeting . She wanted you to call her back as soon as you are home . She has already told Susan about this change.

2.Good morning , ladies and gentlemen ,
Some of us are having problems with our parents , as they often look into our school bags or read our diaries . I fully understand why we are not comfortable about it , but there’s no need to feel too sad. Our parents are checking our bags or diaries to make sure we are not getting into any trouble . They have probably heard some horrible stories about other kids and thought we might do the same . Or perhaps they just want to connect with us but are doing it all wrong . My suggestion is : Tell them we want them to trust us as much as we’d like to trust them .If you don’t think you can talk to them , write them a letter and leave it lying around ---they are bound to read it .
Thank you!
3.My approach to difficulties in learning
As school students , we run into one difficulty after another in the process of learning . Everyone has their own ways to deal with them . Here I would like to share mine.
When I am faced with a difficulty , I usually choose to refer to relevant learning materials or web pages . In this way , I can not only work it out but also improve my ability to overcome problems all by myself .
However , when it is something beyond my competence , I turn to my classmates or teachers for help . Sometimes I also ask my parents for advice . As a result , I have made steady progress in my studies .
1.Hi, TigerMom ,
What puzzles you is actually a puzzle for many parents in China . My idea is that it is quite right for you to do so .
Although high grades are an important factor in evaluating students and for their future university admission , development in wisdom emotion ,health and life attitude should never be ignored . There are many examples around us . Some all—A students in school have turned out not to be as successful in society as they were expected. The reason is often that the pressure from their parents allows them almost no time for other activities . Furthermore , punishment is by no means a wise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically .
So I suggest that you take your friends’ advice . More importantly, let her live like a lovely girl ; let her have more friends and social activities ; and let her make mistakes of her own as we teenagers often do .
2.Dear zhuanghua ,
It’s three months since I heard from you last time . Now I want to tell you an impressive story happening on my first lesson .
On hearing the bell students ran into the classroom as quickly as they could. But a boy ,LIMing , whose father died a month ago , was late for the class. He stood outside the classroom silently . I smiled to him and let him come in. After a while ,he cried on his desk . Then I walked to him and asked what had happened . He told me that his mother was ill and he had to take some medicine for her . At the same time ,he apologized to me for his lateness . Moved by his words , I praised him for his deeds and decided to sing a song named “mother” for the students . How time flies ! Class was over before I realized it .
From the story I felt we should respect our parents and do our best to help them . Do you think so ? I’m looking forward to your reply .
Yours truly ,
Li Hong
3. Dear Sue ,
I’m LiHua ,one of your students in China .It’s almost a month since you left us . We all miss you and are very grateful for what you did for us when we were together .
We are busy as usual. We had an English speech contest the other day . I won the first prize! This again reminds me of all your kind help . Do you still remember the trees we planted together on the hill behind the school? Yesterday we went there and watered them. The three you planted yourself is growing well ,and the whole class decided to name it Sue wood . Will you come back to see Sue wood ?
How is everything with you lately ? We hope to know more about you and your American students . Hope to keep in close touch .
All the best

1. Hi, Grown-up ,
As a student of your age , I understand your situation . The problem you are facing is common among our teenagers . However , it should be wise not to do anything that may hurt your mother’s feelings . Here are a few suggestions . First , it’s advisable to talk more with your mom . I am sure that talks must help you understand each other better. They are also opportunities to let her know our ideas and attitudes towards many things . Second , you should learn to do your own things well, proving to your mom that you are already a “grown-up”, it’s even better to share more of the housework , such as cleaning ,washing and cooking .
Hope my idea will work out .
