Subject: Asking for help

Dear Lin Ping,

How are you getting on? Thanks for telling me something about your school life. I’m glad you’re doing well in your English study.

As you know, I began to learn Chinese 2 years ago. Now let me tell you something about my Chinese study. Though I can read and write a little Chinese, I’m still weak in listening and my spoken Chinese isn’t improving. I find it hard to talk with the people around in Chinese. Could you give me some advice? How I wish I could talk to you in Chinese one day!

Hope to hear from you soon.

Yours,

Sally

Once there was an old man in a town. He always forgot a lot of things. So his wife always had to say to him, “Don’t forget this!”

About half an hour later, the conductor began to see the tickets. He came to the old man and said, “Will you please show me your ticket?” The old man looked for his ticket in all his pockets, but he could not find it. He was very worried. “I can’t find my ticket. I really bought a ticket before I got on the train.” said the old man.

“I believe you bought a ticket. All right, you don’    t have to buy another one,” said the conductor kindly. “But how can I know where I'm going? I can't remember my station!” the old man said sadly.
