Dear Editor,
I’m a middle school student. I’m writing to tell you
about children who are left-behind(留守儿童) in towns around the
country. Now, our city is b 1. more and more
modern. That makes a lot of p 2. leave their home
towns
to work on bu
ilding
the cities. But when they work in the cities, their
children are waiting for them at home. One of the
most s 3. problems
is the loneliness. These left-behind children feel always l 4. and
stressed out because they have no parents’ love. At the same time, nobody can teach them the differences b 5. right and wrong. So , it’s easier for these children to
make m 6. even break laws. It’s
very important for us to pay more a 7. to these children if we want to build a harmonious
society.
So how do we s 8. this problem? Most of the left-behind children say they miss their parents a lot, e 9. during holidays. Maybe the government can set up special group activities for these children during holidays. Of course, the best thing for these families is to be together. As the song says, “If e 10. gives their love, the world will be better.”
Best wishes to you!
Sincerely,
Mary

Have successful
people ever felt sad? Do they have any “secrets
”
to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack
Obama’s “back to school” speech. Here is an excerpt(摘录) from his speech.
I know that sometimes, you hope that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through pop music or basketball or being a TV star, when chances come, you’re not going to be any of those things.
But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem rather important to your life ,but you should try your best. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try.
That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures (the opposite of success). JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots (投篮) during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures beat(打败) you—you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.
No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to tell when you don’t know something, and to learn something new.
And even when you’re struggling(奋斗), even when you’re discouraged (泄气), and you feel other people have given up on you.but you should remember, don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

A teacher began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see, and asked the students, " How much do you think this glass weighs?"
"50 g!" "100 g!" "125 g!" the students answered.

You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I am
fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found t
hat
people say, “I am good.” or “I’m tired.”
One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made
me confused(不知所措). I thought for a moment and then smiled
because I
didn’t know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.
To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”.
I was also surprised by how hard-working US students are.
In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.
The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
