Dear Micheal,
How's your vacation? I'm visiting my uncle in Spain. He lives in the sunny and beautiful city of Valencia, in Spain.
Yesterday, I had great fun. My uncle took me to the tomato festival in Bunol, which is just 30 miles away from where my uncle lives. You have probably never heard of this festival before. Neither had I. The tomato festival is called "La Tomatina"in Spanish. It was the biggest and messiest tomato fight in the world. When we first got to the square where the festival took place, it was very crowded with people from all around the world, and many trucks were carrying tomatoes. My uncle told me the crowded people here were around 38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol.
The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger was beaten. Then everyone including me started throwing tomatoes at each other. I took red tomatoes and threw them at anyone that ran, moved, bent down, or turned around. Tomatoes must be squashed before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody.
After a little while, the streets, people and nearby buildings were splashed with red. There was no winner in this fight,but we all had fun. As soon as a second banger was beaten, people stopped throwing.
I really had a great time, I wish you were here, too. I hope I hear from you soon. Take care.
With love,
From Spain
Linda

Leaving high school, I had to choose a career path—medicine or business—before college started in three months, but I couldn’t decide. Both my uncles suggested I work for a month in a followed by a month in a hospital before I could know what to do. It seemed like a good idea.
Then near the end of two months, I began thinking about my two . The bank had offered better working conditions. The hospital was full of excitement, but the training was hard. It seemed that the choices of was going to run out.
The Last day of my work at the hospital, I was home when I saw a boy hit by a bus and lie in the road as the bus run away. stopped. I know if the boy stayed there, he would die very soon. So, without help, I lifted him into my car.
The next day, I went to see him. His family were sitting around his bed. The doctor introduced me as “the person who saved the boy’s life”. Everyone got up, with smiles on their faces. The mother held my hands to her face, repeating again and again, “See, you are an angel!”
What a feeling this was, to help save the life of another person! , I knew I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I went to college for my medical studies.
We may spend a lot of time wondering about what to take in our lives, but sometimes you don’t really have to worry about your decisions. They are made for you by some quality(品质) in you—by what you’re to do when necessary.
