I’m going to take my family to have an overseas trip. My wife, our two children and I will all go along. My elder brother is going with us. He has never been overseas and he is even more excited than the children. My father is so old that he’d like to stay at home and takes care of the house.
We’re going by train to New York, and then take a ship to Europe. When we arrive in Europe, we’re going to several countries for sightseeing. We’ll go to places either by train or by bus. We’re going to fly home.
It took us a long time to decide w
here to go, but I think we have planned a very interesting trip. We will go to England, France and Italy. My wife is very interested in going to France because she is a teacher of French. And my brother, who speaks very good Italian, is looking forward to the trip to Italy.
We also talked about how we would go to Europe. At first we wanted to fly because it would be faster and would save more time. But my brother likes to take a boat trip and the children enjoy that, too.

Dear Jenny,
How’s it going? Are you busy with your s
tudy these days?
I’ve been back at school nearly four weeks. I’m very glad to tell you that great have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we’re asked to “clean our plates” when having our meals and say to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should t
urn off the lights when we the classroom. And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans (豆类) in our time. I think that’ll be very interesting. Maybe I’ll be able to you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time! What’s more, we have only two classes in the afternoon we have more time for after school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to go to the streets near our school and ask people to the traffic rules.
I think we are having a different school life now!
Please write back soon and tell ______ more about your school.
Yours,
Wang Wei
