The first day of school our teacher let us know someone. Looking out, we found an old woman  1  at the door. She said, "Hi, my name is Susan. I am seventy years old". While we were  2  what made her take this  3  at her age. She said with a smile. "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get  4  , have two children and travel together. " Hearing this, all of us laughed. "In fact, "she went on," I always  5  of having a college education, and now I'm getting  6  !"
After class we had chocolate and milk together. We became good   7  . I often listened to this "time machine" as she shared (
分享) her  8  with me. At the end of the term we invited Susan to give us a   9  . When she was stepping up to the podium (讲台), suddenly she found she took the wrong paper. She felt a little 10   and said, "I am sorry. I am so nervous. I can't get my ready talk  11  , so I have to tell you  12  I know. "
In her speech she told us" We don't stop playing as we are old, we grow old  13  we stop playing. The secret of staying  14  , being happy and getting success is that we should laugh and find something 15   every day. I think there is a great 16  between growing old and growing up. I am seventy now. If I 17   in bed for one full year and never do anything, I'll become seventy-one. Since anybody can grow older, my  18 is to grow, up by always finding the chance in change. Growing older can't be avoided (
避免) ,growing up can be 19   . It's never too late to be all you can possibly be. "
       During the four years' study, it was so easy for Susan to make friends  20  she went. In the end, the wonderful woman got the college degree (
学位).

Dear Harry Potter,
       Hi! I'm Kevin from India. I really feel lucky to write you a letter.
      Though I live far away from your world, I think we are a little alike, You are a great wizard (
奇才). You have done lots of magical things to be amazed at. Although I don't do magic. I do believe in it. Well, I'm also a wizard at school. And I can often get As, but I am not a bookworm. I like to play jokes in class, which sometimes make my teachers angry. I also have many friends. They often get me into and out of trouble. No matter what has happened, we still get close together.
      Oh, I almost forget to tell you that our school is almost like yours, Hogwarts. It's a special one for excellent students. We have modern classes and technology lessons. But when much is given, much is expected, so I often stay up late just to finish my homework. It really makes me tired and bored.
      Luckily, I can read your stories in my free time. I feel like I know you. You have a mind of your own. You are young, but you know how to take responsibility(
责任) for your decisions. Also you think with a clear head even in danger. What a great boy you are ! How I wish I could meet you soon!
      May you have a nice time.

yours, Kevin
