     In the United States, many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard
  and has some good luck.
     Yes,  when one becomes rich,  he wants people to think he is.  That's what "Keeping up with the
 Joneses" is about, because "Jones" is a very important name in the United States. The expression was first
  used in 1913 by a young American named Arthur Momand.  Momand looked around him and noticed
 that many people do things to keep up with their neighbors: They try to look as rich and successful as their
  neighbors.  He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series ( 连载) of short stories.  He called it
 "Keeping up with the Jonese".  "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with the people
 around you.  Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
     People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.  That is one reason why they read the
 "right" books, go to the "right" universities and cat ini the "right" restaurants.
     Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do.  
 And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world.  But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the
 Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr Jones always seems to be ahead.

Dear Amy

How are you? Mum, Dad and I went to Thailand last week. We had a great time!

We arrived at the airport early on Friday morning. I chose a window seat on the plane. I could see the clouds clearly from the window. They looked soft and shiny. Four hours later, we landed in Thailand.

We stayed at a hotel in Pattaya on our first day. We went to the beach. We played different water sports there. We had so much fun! We were tired when we got back to the hotel.

On the next day, we went to Bangkok. We visited two temples there. They looked like golden bells with pointed tops. We took some photos outside the temples and had a walk in the gardens. In the evening, we had dinner at a restaurant next to a lake. The food was very spicy so I kept drinking cold water!

On the last day, we went to a shopping mall. Mum bought a beautiful tea set. Dad bought some T-shirts and I bought some dried mangoes (芒果干). We went to the airport after lunch. I was lucky because I got a window seat again. This time I could see the beautiful sunset (日落).

We enjoyed the trip very much. I hope we will go on another trip again soon.

Love

Polly
