Tom lived by himself a long way from town.He hardly went to town, but one day he went into town to buy a few things.After he bought them, he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table.When he looked around, he saw some old people put glasses on before reading their newspapers.So after lunch he decided to go to a shop to buy himself one pair, too.He walked along the road, and soon found a shop.
The man in the shop let him try on a lot of glasses.but Tom always said, “No, I can’t read with these.”
The man became puzzled(迷惑的), and he said, “Excuse me, but can you read?”
“No, of course I can’t!”Tom said angrily.“If I could read before, do you think I would come here to buy your glasses?”

Thank you very much for your letter.I am glad that you enjoyed your holiday with me.We enjoyed having you and your sister here.We hope that you will both be able to come again next year.A week is not really long enough,is it? If your school has a five weeks'holiday next year,perhaps(也许) you'll be able to stay with us for two or three weeks.
We have been back to school for three weeks now.It feels like three months!I expect(期望) that you are both working very hard now since(因为) you are in Grade One.I shall have to work hard next year when I am in Grade one.Tom and Ann won't be in Grade One until 2005.
They went for a picnic yesterday but I didn't go with them because I cut my foot and I couldn't walk very well.They went to an island and enjoyed themselves there.Do you still remember the island?That's where all of us spent the last day of our holiday.
Tom,Ann and I send our best wishes to Betty and you.We hope to see you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Michael
