Dear Tommy,
I’m writing to you on your third birthday. I want to tell you something about your grandma’s time. I was born sixty-eight years ago in a small village.
Transportation used to be a big problem. When we traveled from village to village, we used to walk or ride horses.
Shopping was not an easy job, either. There were no supermarkets in the neighborhood. We used to grow most of our own food: rice and vegetables. We kept things cool in a special underground room.
The biggest difference is that you have electricity. We didn’t have electricity until very late in our small village. We didn’t have any televisions of course. We used to perform our local（地方的）music and enjoy it very much.
Life used to be very hard, but I was not upset. I would like you to know about the old days and be happy about what you have when you grow up. Remember, feeling good about life is the key to happiness.
Love,
Your grandma

Recently we did a survey in different grades at Red school in order to lean about students` ideal jobs. Here are three students’ ideas.
Mary who comes from Canada wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up, because she likes both beautiful and colorful clothes and she does well in drawing. Her art teacher often encourages her and takes pride in her.
Kate, an Australian girl, likes plants and wants to make the city more beautiful, so she wants to be a gardener. She often stays in her own garden, waters flowers, prunes(修剪)branches and plants trees.
Mike, aged 16, is a schoolboy in Grade Nine. He is good at drawing pictures, so his ideal job is to be an artist like his father who is a famous one in their town.
