A man often traveled around and he couldn’t buy the seat tickets on the train for his most tours.But he could always find a seat to sit on. His workmates asked him how he could find the seats by accident. “The method is very simple,just your patience.”smiled the man. His workmates were puzzled.

One day, one of his workmates was on business with him.The train car was so crowed that they couldn’t even find a place to stand on. “Let’s find seats to sit on,” said the man. “Find seats? Just a joke?” said his workmate.”Just follow me,” said the man.

They pushed their way through the crowds.The workmate wanted to give up , but the man insisted (坚持). At last,in the 7th car they found two empty seats .They sat there happily at once. The workmate asked,“How do you know there are seats here?”The man answered ,“I didn’t know it at all.But I know most of the passengers are easily cheated by one or two cars of crowed phenomena(现象). Even though they know there are seats, they don’t want to crowd among the groups.They think it’s not worth doing that.”

The method seemed not to be clever enough,but it works. For us, patience will let us have a “seat ticket”life forever.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith,

I am writing to thank you for looking after me so well when I came to stay with you in England. You made me feel like part of the family. I felt I was Ann’s sister, although I was just her friend from Singapore. I had a good time when I was in England. We visited many different places and took lots of photos. My mother has kept all the postcards I sent to her. I am going to put them on the bookshelf with some of the photos.

The journey I went home was very relaxing, and the long flight seemed to pass more quickly than usual, thanks to the book Harry Potter Ann gave me to read on the plane. My parents were pleased to see me, and said that they missed me a lot. We will have a busy time soon, as we are moving house next month. I have given Ann my new address, and I hope she will be able to come and stay with us next summer.

I must finish now, because my father is going to the shopping center and he said he would post this letter for me while he is there.

Best wishes,

Kate.
