　　Hello, Jenny!

　　Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival．We will watch the moon tonight, and look for Change and Wu Gang．We usually eat mooncakes．They are round, like the moon．

　　National Day is also in autumn, on October 1st．My mother and father are usually free for seven days! We will do many things together．I like going to the National Day celebration．

　　But the best thing in autumn is my birthday．It's in October．I will be fifteen years old．Goodbye．

　　Yours,

　　Li Ming

Dear Li Ming,

　　Thank you for your e-mail! I love autumn too．In Canada, we have an autumn holiday called Thanksgiving Day．Family members always celebrate it together．I will go to my grandmother and grandfather's house．My uncles, aunts and their children will be there too．

　　Canadian Thanksgiving Day is in early October．In the USA, they celebrate Thanksgiving Day in late November．

　　Have a good time on your birthday, Li Ming! On my birthday, I have a cake with candles．Everyone sings the song “Happy birthday”．Then I blow out the candles! Will you have a cake for your birthday?

　　Your friend,

　　Jenny

　　Basketball is still a young game.It is just over a hundred years.In the winter of 1891,a certain college was having some trouble with its boy students.

　　The weather was bad and the students had to stay indoors ndline.As they could not take part in their usual outdoor sports,they are unhappy,and some of them even get into fights from time to time.Finally,some of the teachers at the college asked Dr.J.E.Naismith to invent a game so that the students might have something to play at.It was not easy to invent such a game because it had to be played indoors,and the court was not very large.Dr.Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game.It was a fast,exciting game with much moving and passing of the ball.It was played between two teams.In order to make a score,the ball had to be thrown into a basket ten feet above the floor on the wall.At each end of the court there was such a basket.At first,Dr.Naismith had planned to have the ball thrown into a box.As he couldn't find boxes of the right size,he had to use fruit baskets instead.That is how the game got its name梑asketball.
