If you go to visit London，you will see a lot of buses and cars on the road，you will also see a lot of bikes because more people travel by bike．Why?
There are a lot of reasons for this．First，it’s very cheap to buy a bike，and riding bikes is quick, too．You often need to wait for a bus for half an hour．When the bus comes，there are so many other buses and cars on the roads so the bus moves very slowly．The underground train（地铁）is quick but very expensive．
I travel to work by bus for about four years.I often arrive at work late and feel tired.Then one day , a friend of mine says, “I go to work by bike，why don’t we travel together？”“Because my bike’s old，”I answer，“and there are so many buses and cars on the road．I feel afraid…”“Don’t be afraid!”says my friend，“If you follow me and we ride slowly，you will be fine．”
Two days later I buy a new bike．We go slowly, but we arrive at work quickly. I spend 40 minutes going by bus, but only half an hour by bike! Now I love riding a bike. And I feel healthy. Many people think my idea is good and maybe you’ll see more bikes on the road in the future.
Many people think in the same way as I do．That’s why you see a lot of bikes on the road．Who knows，perhaps in the future we’ll have roads for bicycles only．I hope so!

Do you know Eskimos? Let me tell you something about their lives.
Eskimos live near the North Pole (北极). There are only two seasons there, winter and summer. There is no spring or autumn there. The winter nights are long. You can't see the sun for more than two months, even at midday. The summer days are long. For more than two months, the sun never goes down and there's no night.
Eskimos have warm clothes. They make their clothes from the skins of animals. From skins (皮毛) they make coats, caps and shoes. Near the North Pole trees can't grow, for it is too cold there. The Eskimos have to make their houses from skins, snow or stone. When they got out in storms and can't get back home, they make houses of snow. They leave these houses when the storm（风暴） is over.

Dear Kitty:
News! We have a new flat! The rooms are small, but they are comfortable. There are more rooms here than in our old flat. This is good because now I have my own room. In the old flat, I share with my sister.
My bedroom is my favourite room in our flat. I can be alone in it. I can read or draw. I can listen to my radio or play CDs. I can play games on my computer and send e-mails to my friends.
My second favorite room is the kitchen. I love helping my mother cook our meals. She is a very good cook. She is teaching me how to make many different kinds of dishes. She lived in Morocco when she was a girl, and she can cook Moroccan food. It’s very delicious. That’s all for now.
Write soon and tell me about your home. Please get on the Internet so that we can send e-mails to each other.
All good wishes!
Anna
