Dear Peter,

But first, I am sure that you are wrong that nobody will care if you leave your home. What about your parents? And other family members? It seems that you are very sad. You'd better go to see a doctor or talk to your parents. They can help you. Second, I'm sure there's someone in your class who feels lonely, too. You never know how other people feel inside. Try to make friends with them. Or you join a club to meet new people and to keep yourself busy.

You need to find happiness in yourself. Write a list of all the good things about yourself. Learn to like yourself, and then others will see your confidence (信心) and like you, too.

Dear Tiantian!

How are you? I’m writing to you at my school. It is a middle school. I am in a big class. There are about sixty students. My English teacher is Miss Gao. She is a good teacher.

We go to school from Monday to Friday. There are four classes in the morning and three in the afternoon. We play games at four on Friday after class.

I have some friends at school. One of my friends is from America. She speaks English and a little Chinese. I like to play with them. We often play basketball. It’s my favourite game.

Please write soon!

Love from

Lin Tao

In 50 years of traveling, Colin McCorpuodale has visited every country in the world except three. And everywhere he goes, he sends himself a postcard. He always chooses a postcard with beautiful scenery (风景). Usually he writes just a short message to himself. However, he wrote an interesting story on his latest one, from the Malians Island.
Mr. McCorpuodale lives in London. On one of the walls in his room, you can see a large map of the world. There are hundreds of little red pins (大头针) stuck in it. “These pins mean a lot to me.” says Mr. McCorpuodale, “I follow the rule. I’m allowed to stick one in only if I’ve been in a place for more than 24 hours.”
Naturally, Mr. McCorpuodale has his favorite places. New Zealand, he describes as “a wonderful country”. About China, he says, “This is the country in the world which is completely different. There is no European influence.”
Wherever he goes, Mr. McCorpuodale takes with him a photo of his wife, a candle, a shirt with a secret pocket and a pen.
So why does he do it? For the postcards or the travels? Mr. McCorpuodale laughs, “Neither. Only for the meaningful life.”
