As summer arrives, it’s important to drink more, to keep us cool. Let’s look to see what drinks are popular in the US.
Sports drinks and fruit drinks are quite popular. But there are two main drinks that Americans enjoy most: water and soda. Around 10.9 billion gallons (加仑) of water is drunk each year, and 12.8 billion gallons of soda. Soda is the most popular drink. It’s fizzy (冒泡的) and enjoyed with friends. Perhaps it is the drink of choice for parties.
However, if you are playing sports, soda is not a good drink. The fizzy and sweet drinks may make you uncomfortable (不舒服的) while exercising. The best drink for sports is water. That’s because it has no calories and keeps you fresh during sports. Besides, doctors tell us that drinking water each day is healthy.
For many kids, juice or milk are their favorites. These drinks are healthy and give kids vitamins and energy (能量) during the day. Adults usually choose between tea or coffee.

Lots of people are good at fishing. But what if you were only able to catch(抓) fish with just your hands?
Last Sunday, my dad and I went to Lipu in Guangxi. There, we saw a big traditional(传统) game ----the fish catching game. On that day, lots of local people took off their shirts and jumped into a river. There were many fish in the river. But they could only use a small ladle(长勺). Some of them waved (挥舞) their ladles to drive the fish together. And some tried to catch the fish quickly. It looks easy, but the water was so muddy (浑浊的) that no one could see the fish clearly. They had to touch and feel the fish.
Visitors like us were also excited to see such an interesting game. We cheered and laughed. Although most people didn’t catch even one fish, everyone was so happy that day. The game was really interesting.

Hello Sandy,
We have just come back from our vacation. We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with people, just sheep and birds.
Edward, who had just come out of , could not walk as far as he used to. However this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then at a cafe for lunch each day before going back to the place we lived. Edward and I in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for walk. Very pleasant!
Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It was very (we usually expect snow in January). It was all day, then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine!
Both Jenny and I are well. I don’t know if I told you in the last , that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is the work.
Please write to tell us your news.
Yours,
Victor
