Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Nanjing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is very dangerous.
The purpose of these bridges is to enable passengers to cross road safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to old people. When passengers using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help passengers and to keep traffic moving at the same time.
The government of Nanjing has spent much money in building these bridges. For their own safety, passengers should be encouraged to use. They can’t risk their lives by running across the road. Old people may think that it is a little difficult to climb up and down the steps, but it is much safer than walking across the road with all the dangerous of moving traffic.

Dear Sir or Madam:
A year ago I bought a Relex camera second hand. It’s a SW 705 model, and it’s about five years old. Here’s my problem: The light metre was fine when I bought the camera, but now it isn’t working and my pictures are coming out too dark. I checked the batteries, and they are still good. I took the camera to some repair shops, but they said they couldn’t repair it because the model is too old and they don’t have the necessary part.
Do you have the parts for this model in stock? If so, could I send you the camera for repairs? How much would the repairs cost? I’m going to buy your new SW800 model in about six months, but I would still like to fix this old one.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours
Sarah H, McDaniel

Once a small boy lived on the farm which seemed so far away from everywhere.
He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence along the side of the farm. He could see a house with a golden windows. “ If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “ Some day I will go there and see this wonderful place.”
One morning his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.
As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how wrong he was. The house was much father than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden widows but instead a place in bad need of painting. A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood be the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows. The girl said,” Sure, I know,” and invited her to sit on the porch(门廊). As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came.
