My problems started after I went to a boarding（寄宿） school.I was only 14，and at first I missed my family a lot.I often called them and cried on the phone.But after two weeks，I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I had many friends who were boys.I thought of them as my best friends-but only friends.I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.
Then，three months later，my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was hanging out with boys all day long in order to get attention from them.Seven months after that，the head teacher Mr.Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union（学生会）.I thought I could win for I was doing well in school.I’d already won prizes for the best math and English exams.A week later，the list came out and it didn’t include me.I was sad.
Mr.Wang came to me and said，“Don’t be sad.I know you’re excellent! Maybe you are a little distant（疏远的）from the girls in our class.They don’t know much about you，so some of them didn’t choose you.It doesn’t matter.Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.”

Dear Kitty,

    I am sorry that I did not write to you earlier because I have been very busy. I was helping    with a charity show to raise money    31    Project Green Hope. A lot of work needed to be finished, so I did not have much free time.

  I felt very happy when I    32    to be the host. It was exciting,    33   I was also very nervous. I know that lots of people would come    34    the show and many pop stars would come, too. My job was to    35    each star and I also had many other duties.

We practiced a lot before the show. I had to remember to look at the right camera at the right time. At first, I thought I would never be    36    to remember all the words.

  The big day came very quickly, and I was so excited. Twenty minutes before the big event, we    37    the doors and many people came into the theatre to watch the show. The fans of the pop stars were making a lot of noise, so I had to speak    38   .

A lot of    39    has been given to Project Green Hope. I hope more events like this will be organized to raise money for charity and I think more people should be    40    to take part in them.

See you soon .

Best wishes!

Ricky
