Today I got a letter from Jenny, my new friend in America. I wrote her last week, and it was my first
time to write a letter in English. I was worried that she wouldn't get my letter. But she did, and she wrote
back a nice long letter. She told me a lot about her family, school life, and the things she likes to do on
holidays. I found we both love watching basketball games and think of Michael Jordan as the greatest player
ever.
I can't wait to get a letter from Jenny again. It's so much fun to share things with a foreign friend. In my
next letter, I will tell her some interesting things about my school.

“Life is speeding up(加快速度). Everyone is getting unwell.” This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person wrote it.
Inventions can change our lives. But have all these things really improved our lives? Imagine this. You’re doing your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer is turned off and you lose all your work. How do you feel? Inventions have speeded up our lives, but they often leave us feeling tired.
One family in England went “back in time” to see what life was like without these inventions. The grandparents, with their daughter and grandsons Ben 10 and Tom 7, spent nine weeks in an old house. They had no computers or mobile phones. The grandmother, Linda, said, “The more things you have, the harder life becomes.” And Ben also noticed that his grandmother had changed. She cooked delicious food for them!
