Dear Jane,

I’m writing to tell you a piece of good news. We have a new flat! How happy I am! There are more rooms in the new flat than in our old flat. And my father says we will also buy a parking garage(车库). He has no place to park his car.

Now I have my own study. And of course, I have my own bedroom. My bedroom is my favourite in our flat. I can stay in it alone enjoying my favourite books or listening to music. I can put up(张贴)my favourite posters on the wall.

My second favourite room is the kitchen. I love helping my mother cook meals. She teaches me how to make many different kinds of food. She lived in Sichuan when she was young, so she can cook Sichuan food. It’s very spicy(辣的)，but nice to eat! I find it is easy to make. Maybe I can cook some for you when you come to see me.

That’s all for now. Send me an e-mail and tell me about your home please.

All good wishes!

Anna

A new study finds that some new sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and mountain biking have caused(造成)more than 4 million injuries(伤害)since 2000. Dr. Vani Sabesan, from the US, did the study with his team.

Sabesan said, “While we’re watching or doing all these new sports, we always talk about the exciting feeling, not about the safety.”

Skateboarding caused the greatest number of head and neck injuries – more than 129,000. Snowboarding, the cold-weather cousin of skateboarding, caused more than 97,000 head or neck injuries. Skiing came third with more than 83,000 injuries.

Sabesan thinks that people should do something. “There are many young kids taking part in the sports, and they’re getting younger all the time. They go 60 miles an hour down a ski hill,” Sabesan said. “They are risking their life! So we need to make sure the kids wear helmets(头盔). And we need to make sure there are doctors around to prepare for the dangerous situations.”

Richard Sears was not known well in China until his story of spending all his money in studying Chinese characters was reported online in 2012. People gave him the nickname “Uncle Hanzi”.

Mr. Sears was once a computer engineer in the USA. When he was young, he developed an interest in Chinese characters. In 1972, when Sears was only 22, he decided to learn Chinese in Taiwan.

After several years of study, Sears still found writing Chinese characters difficult. One piece of advice he received was to learn the evolution(演化)of Chinese characters, because it could help him remember them.

In 1990, Mr. Sears came up with the idea of sharing his studies of Chinese characters on the website. In 2002, Mr. Sears made the website free for anyone who was interested. Just by typing a Chinese character on his website, people can find out the shapes and evolution of the character.

“Many people think I am crazy – spending all my money and time on the website. But for me, it’s just an interest,” Mr.Sears said.
