Hey, Jina!

I’m so glad you’re coming to stay with me the day after tomorrow! Let me give you some directions from the airport. You can also download a Tube map from the London Underground’s website(www.tfl.gov.uk). Anyway, I hope you understand my instructions!

From Heathrow Airport, get on the Tube --- there’s only the Piccadilly Line there. You’ll pass a lot of stations, but you need to get off and change at Piccadilly Circus. From there, you should take the Bakerloo Line to Oxford Circus. It’s only one stop, so don’t miss it! At Oxford Circus, you have to change again. You need the red Central Line. It’s a bit complicated, so you make sure you will get the right platform(站台). Head to Marble Arch. It’s just two stops away --- the one after Bond Street. My house is really near Marble Arch Station --- it’s really convenient. Just give me a call when you arrive and I’ll come and get you!

It’s not the shortest route here, but I think it’s the simplest. If you have any problems, just ask the other passengers. The Tube staff(职员)will always help you, too. If you have difficulty understanding what they say or none of them can give you any help, call me at once!

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Love,

Sally

Why the moon ran away?

This story is told by the Naga people, who live in the mountains of northeast India. It explains why the moon is far away from Earth and why, every month, sometimes the sky grows dark and nothing can be seen except many s_______ in the sky. It also explains why, once a month, the full moon appears, shining down on Earth.

The Naga say that once upon a time, the moon was close to Earth, near their village. It loved to be near people and it shared in the games of the children and the festivals that took place every year. But one day, the moon was in t_______. An old woman who was cleaning her house stuck(刺痛)the moon by accident with her wooden broom(扫帚). The moon began to cry in pain. The children of the village thought it was very amusing and they began to t_______ sticks and stones at the moon’s face hurting it even more. Of all the children, only one little girl felt sorry for the p_______ moon and told the children to stop, but they would not listen.

The moon was so hurt that it cried s_______ every day, so it decided to go away and live far away from Earth in the sky where it would be safe from the bad children. This is why, every month, the moon hides its face and the sky is dark. The little girl, however, missed the moon so much that she began to sing a song to make the moon r_______. This is why, also every month, the moon turns its face to Earth again to smile down on its only friend.
