Dear friends,

It is real a good chance to have met all of you here．

1．________

We have spent several precious weekend in learning in the

2．________

English Chub．Although we have been members for a short

3．________

period of time,we have made a great progress．That is

4．________

because we are all very much active and the activities are not

5．________

only enjoyable and also helpful．Besides,the foreign teachers

6．________

here work hard and try his best to make the activities

7．________

livly and interested．I am very pleased to say that all of

8．________

us greatly improved our spoken English so far．I am

9．________

looking forward to see of you again in the near future!

The State of Kansas was called the“Bread Basket of America”,

1．________

because it is rich in wheat and flour．But there are hundreds of

2．________

cattle farms in western Kansas,some of them are quite large．The

3．________

state is larger than most states in America,but its population is small．

4．________

In the early days,many settlers passed through Kansas seek rich．

5．________

Iand and gold in the west．They refused to settle here．However．When

6．________

Kansas joined the United States in 1861 and the slaves were set free,

7．________

the population began to increase．Finally,the railroads were helped to

8．________

attract settlers by selling their cheap land which was good at farming．

9．________

At present,the State of Kansas is still farming state in the United States

10．________

I still remember my middle school life in Tianjin yet．I was then

1．________

in a school for students from Tibet．As we were all left home

2．________

at early age,we met lots of problems in our daily life．We

3．________

had to do the washing,cleaning and shopping by us．However,

4．________

we seldom felt lonely or helplessly．We enjoyed our happy life．

5．________

At weekends,we would play basketball,swinning in the pool

6．________

or go for a picnic．We were living in a big family．We treat

7．________

each other as brothers and sisters．If any ont of us had any

8．________

difficulty in our life and study,the other would help him out．

9．________

It has been five years when we graduated,but those memories

10．________

are as sweet as ever before．

When I was four years old I got ill．I took medicine twice

a day．The medicine had so a bitter taste that I took it mixed in

1．________

orange juice．The problem was that I can still taste the medicine

2．________

In a particular afternoon my mother brought the drink in As

3．________

she gave it to me,when the phone rang and she went to answer

4．________

it．I tooked at the orange drink and decided I couldn't face them,

5．________

so I hid the glass behing a pile magazines．Of course,when

6．________

my mother was asked,“Have you already taken your medicine?”

7．________

I said,“Yes．”I felt very pleased with me．The next day,my

8．________

mother found drink when she was doing the housework,she

9．________

looked at me serious and said,“It's bad to tell lies!”

10．________

When I first learned to write in English,I ran into many

1．________

difficulties．The main problem was in that I always thought

2．________

in Chinese and tried to translate anything into English．

3．________

My teacher advised me to keep my diary．I followed her

4．________

advice and should put down 100 words or so each day．

5．________

Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself on paper as I was

6．________

learning to express me in simple English．One day I wrote

7．________

a little story and showed to my teacher．She liked it

8．________

very much and reads it to the class．All said the story was

9．________

a good one．Their word were a great encouragement to me．

10．________

Bob told me that before he was a teacher,all what he

1．________

would like to do when he was at school was to be a lawyer．

2．________

He had worked very hard at his lessons and try to

3．________

enter into a famous university,but something unfortunate

4．________

happened in his family,which made necessary for him

5．________

to work for a life．As a young man,he had been a

6．________

bus driver,a dustman and a salesman,and he spent his

7．________

spare times studying and finally became a college teacher．

8．________

“Young people,”he often said,“are fill of

9．________

wishes and hopes after they step into society．”

10．________

On Thursday I will have to decide what I want myself to

1．________

do over a weekend．I am thinking of making a trip

2．________

to London,and visit the British Museum and some

3．________

parks．But I have spent most my money,so I cannot

4．________

even go out of town．I may go to a film,or a concert．

5．________

Yes,a concert can be very excited．You can watch your

6．________

stars while enjoying your favorite music．So then,a

7．________

concert cost so much．I may just listen to music．I have

8．________

some records giving to me as birthday gifts．If I listen

9．________

to my own records,there are no need to spend money．

10．________

All right．That's what I'm going to do．

I am writing to thank you with your kind help．

1．________

Before you came to teach us,I had not interest in

2．________

English．My pronunciation was terribly．I could

3．________

only speak a few words．But one and a half year later,

4．________

I now think English fun to learn．I got a lot from your

5．________

encouraging words．I will always remember what you

6．________

said “If you try to,you can be No．1!”I hope you've

7．________

had pleasant journey home and will come to China

8．________

again sometimes in the future．I will write again

9．________

and send you the photos we take together．

10．________

During the summer of 2001,1 started reading books in

English,mostly stories．I would learn a lot of new

1．________

words from these books,but I had terribly problems

2．________

memorizing them．I had to look up to the same word

3．________

many times,for which was quite troublesome．I realized

4．________

I do meed a way to remember all this vocabulary．It was

5．________

a great achievement for myself．I started writing down

6．________

words from books that I read．I would come hack from

7．________

school,and then sit for an hour and two．I wrote down

8．________

new words and added it to my collection．By the end

9．________

of last year,my collection has grown to 3000 words．

10．________

I'm a newcomer her of a small town．I would

1．________

describe myself as shy and quietly．Before my classmates,

2．________

it seems always difficult for me to do things well as

3．________

them．I'm sure they will laugh to me and see me as

4．________

a fool．So I feel unhappy every day．

5．________

Besides,I have few friends．I don't know that they

6．________

don't like to talk with me．Sometines,we talked to each other

7．________

very well in class,but after class we become stranger at

8．________

once．I am trying to improve the situation since it doesn't

9．________

seem to work．Can you tell me about what I should do?
