  One day, after I had given her dinner, she started   2   for mom.She really needed her mother.So I dressed her, put on her   3   carried her on my back and walked out to meet our mother.Soon she fell   4   About half an hour later, I found that she lost a shoe while sleeping.I took her off my back and put her down.I knew we needed to find that missing shoe, for our mother couldn't afford new shoes.I had to go back to find it, so I told my sister to wait right   5  

  A man heard it and stopped me just   6  .He asked me:"You' re leaving your sister here to find the shoe? What would you do if she was not here when you returned?" I didn't know how to answer the question.He   7   It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your sister." Then he sent us to mom' s workplace by taxi.

  In my life I have relied on the kindness of many strangers.I feel sorry that I can' t find them and say "thank you".I do not even remember what their faces   8  , but they let me know what is more important, a person or a thing.

Dear sister:

  I've been happy here in New York. But when holidays are coming near, I really feel “There's no place like home,” just like the English proverb says, “East, west, home is the best.

  You must be doing well in English class. The letter you sent to me was written in good English.

  Well, I want to bring my friend Diana to our home. I dare not tell Mama directly. If Dad and Mum say that will be all right, please write to me as soon as possible.

  Diana is a poor girl whose parents died last month in a terrible accident. She has to spend the holidays alone. She wants to see China and try everything that we Chinese do. She has learned Chinese for two years and can speak a little. She has great curiosity about our family life and will ask you many questions about it. Isn't it a good chance to understand each other? I'm sure you'll learn many things from her.

  Please give my love to our father and mother!

                   Your sister,

                          Mei
