Dear Sandy,

     How are you? It's Saturday today and I have some time to write to you. We're busy from Monday to Friday. We get up at six thirty in the morning. After some exercise we have breakfast. We have five classes a day and the first class starts at eight. Our teachers are strict. They often ask us a lot of questions and some of them are very difficult.

     We do sports at five in the afternoon. We play basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, tennis or pingpong. Some of my classmates like art. They can sing or dance or draw. Sometimes Miss White, our biology teacher, takes us to the zoo(动物园).

     After supper we can watch TV. But we do our homework first. I like math and often do some difficult exercises(练习). So I go to bed at ten thirty. I'm often tired but I like them.

     Please write to me and tell me about yourself.

                                                             Yours, 

Zhou Hong

　　I took a wonderful trip with my family when I was ten years old. I remember it well. My aunt, uncle and cousins lived on a little farm in the country outside Rome and they invited us to visit them. These cousins are the same cousins who live in Miami now. Our trip to visit them a long time ago was very different from our recent (最近的) trip to Miami.

　　It was a Saturday morning when we left home. We got up early that morning before the sun rose. We were sleepy, but we were excited and ate breakfast quickly. We left home at five thirty in order to get an early start. It took us three hours to get there in my father's old car. When we drove up to the house, everyone ran out to greet (欢迎) us.

　　We stayed for two days and had a wonderful time. We played outside all day and helped uncle feed the chickens. He taught us how to make wine. At night, we listened to the grown-ups (成年人) tell stories about their childhood.

　　When it was time to leave, we were very sad. They begged us to stay longer, but we had to leave. My father had to go to work the next day. As I look back, that trip was a long, long time ago. My aunt and uncle are both dead; my cousins are living in Miami.

　　The world is different now.
