It was late last night, but Kevin could not sleep. His bed was inside a camping tent, and just outside the tent were the fields of Africa, filled with wild animals. His parents slept soundly in another bed across from him. He wondered how they could be so clam. What if a lion came into their tent? He was very frightened. It took a long time before Kevin finally fell asleep.

When the son came up, he felt his mother’s hand on his head. “Morning, Kevin!” she said, “time to wake up and go on the safari.” Before they left America, his parents had explained to him that a safari was a long drive through nature, usually in Africa. During a safari you can see lions and zebras living free, instead of cooped up(限制) in a zoo.

“What if we get close to a lion?” Kevin asked.

“Oh, daring,” she said “nothing will happen to us if we listen to our guide.”

Kevin got dressed slowly, listened to the bird singing outside and began to feel less afraid. After a brief breakfast, he got into a jeep with his parents. The driver, Jim, a kind –looking man, was also their guide.

The jeep took off a dirt road. After a little while Kevin and his parents waited in the tall grass while Jim walked ahead of them and looked around. After a minute Jim raised his hands in the air. “Shhh,” he said in a low voice. “It’s nothing dangerous but don’t speak loudly.” Kevin and his parents walked up to where Jim stood, and soon Kevin saw a beautiful golden creature with dark brown spots(斑点) and a very ,very long neck–a giraffe.

“Wow,” said Kevin, He could not believe how close he was to the giraffe. All his fears disappeared and he began to get excited about the day to come.

Dear Mum,

I have studied abroad for some time. I miss you very much now.

I learned the famous saying “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.”Yes! Mill Li said her maths teacher made a huge difference in her life. But she was because she had no chance to tell her teacher. This made me think a lot, especially I’m thousands of kilometers away. I’m writing to you because I want you to know how I love you.

It’s said that a happiness was mostly because of their childhood. That’s quite right. I still remember the times when you my hand as we walked along. You told me stories about the brave elephant and encouraged me to be a girl. … My childhood was filled with these warm memories.

How time flies! There have been good times and bad times, but you were always by my side. When I won a prize, you smiled and felt proud me. When I failed the exam, you comforted me. You always gave me courage to all my difficulties.

You’ve always said that we should judge(判断)people’s by how they live their lives every day. I think I’m now living a happy life. Thank you, Mum.

Love,

Feifei
