Please remember to give my best regard to your family.

_71_ one of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. it’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.

the first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. _72_pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? the list is endless.

next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _73_ all you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.

_74you should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. that’ll keep you busy for ages.

at your first meeting you should make up a rule book. and the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! the best clubs are always secret!

now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. these are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 75  why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? that will make the membership card really look like it.

so there you are, get clubbing! once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!

A. that’s easy.

B. enjoy your own club!

C. invite a designer to join you.

D. what are you interest in?

E. some vacation is just around the corner.

F. then you need to pick a name for your club.

G. use a bright thick pen to make a special design.

Victor’s hobby was collecting stamps. He had stamps from many countries, like England, Canada and China. On his birthday, can you guess what people gave him? That’s right---stamps.

　 Victor’s favourite stamps came from France. He had almost every stamp from 1954 to 2004. He only needed one. That was a 1974 special edition*. It was very hard to find.

　 He looked for it everywhere. He asked his friends and relatives to help him. But nobody could find the stamp. It made Victor very sad.

　 “Don’t worry. Never give up,” his father said to him. “If you have enough patience, you’ll find it one day.”

　 “I hope so,” Victor said.

　 Victor also liked writing. He had a pen friend in France. They wrote to each other every month. Victor’s pen friend, Phillip, usually used new stamps to send letters. Sometimes, his mother gave him stamps to use. Once Phillip’s mother gave him a big, green stamp. It looked old. When Victor received the letter, he was very surprised. On the envelope, he looked carefully at the stamp. It was the 1974 special edition stamp. Victor was so happy. He told his sister, his mother and his father.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

“ You see,” his father said. “ You did find your stamp. So, it’s good to have two things in life.”

　 “What are they?” Victor asked.
