Dear Mum and Dad，

    It was a great idea to send me over to Britain to learn English this summer．I’ve  1  so many students from Sweden．France and other countries all over the world．

    The family I live with are very nice．But they have some  2  habits．They drink tea all 3  (at the breakfast，at the afternoon and at the bed time，  4  they eat butter with salt in it! If I go out in the evening，I often eat fish and chips．the  5   is wrapped up(包)in a newspaper．

    Here on the coast，we travel by bus．I was knocked down by an old lady the 6   day because I didn’t stand in the queue；she  7  me over the head her handbag．English people seem very quiet and reserved usually．If we make a noise on the bus they look 8 and uncomfortable．so I was very 9  to see how violent(粗暴的)they became about queues．

    Most English people only talk about the  10  ．They do have a lot to talk about rain，wind and sometimes fog．Also，if you ask them directions，they suddenly become very chatty and go on for hours．

    I’d like to come back here next year to see all my friends again．Oh，yes，and to learn some British English．

                                                               Your loving son，

                                                                        Hans

    Round eyes，round head，round ears，round body! What is this lovely little animal? He looks like a bear．But he is not a bear．He’s a KOALA．People in Australia love koalas and take care of them．They have set up places for them to live safely．No one can kill them for their pretty fur(毛皮)．When a koala is born，he has no fur．And he is not as big as your little toe(脚趾)! The mother koala has a pocket in the front of her body．The baby goes into this warm pocket．There he stays for six months．

    when the baby leaves the pocket，he has much fur．And he is about as big as your shoes．He climbs to his mother’s back．He rides there while she teaches him how to find food．Mrs. Koala is a loving mother．He takes good care of her baby．But when he is bad she beats him! The baby cries just as a small child does．If he keeps on crying，his mother beats him again．When he stops crying．she takes him in her arms．And then both go to sleep for a while．

    The koala could not live without a special kind of tree．The tree gives him both his home and his food．For most of the day the koala sleeps in the tree．

    At night the koala looks for food．He may go miles to find it．He likes only the bark(树皮)and the leaves of the tree．He eats nothing else．And he eats more than two pounds each night!

    No one wants to look silly or do the wrong things at a new job．It is important to make the right impression from the very first day．You will face new face new people．You will be in new place．It may be difficult to know what to do．Here are five tips to help you make it through the first day at a new job：

1．  1  Make sure you make a good one．Before your first day，find out if your new job has a dress code(rules about what you can wear to work)．If so，be sure to follow it．No matter what，always be neat and clean．

2．  2  Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time．

3．  3  One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you．They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around．

4．  4   Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your duties，ask for a list．Set daily and weekly goals for yourself．

5．  5   Observe what your co-workers do aroundquitting time. It does not look good for you to be eager to leave．

    Jay was a student at an arts school in Paris．He had booked the flight and would fly that morning．However，when he happened to find the ticket holder had won the lottery，he cancelled(取消)the flight and came back to the subway station.

    Later someone asked Jay，“Why didn’t you take the lottery ticket for yourself?” He said，“Although I don’t have much money，I live happily；but if I lose honesty，I won’t be happy forever．’’
