The White family moves to a new city, but Mrs. White’s son, Bob, is not happy, because he doesn’t have any friends to play with there. “Don’t worry!” says Mrs. White, “you’ll soon make friends here.”
One morning, there is a knock on the door. Mrs. White opens it and sees their neighbor Mrs. Miller standing there. She comes to borrow two eggs to make some cakes. Mrs. White gives her two eggs. In the afternoon, Mrs. Miller’s son, Jack comes to their home. He says to Mrs. White, “my mother asks me to give some cakes and two eggs to you.”
“Well, thank you,” says Mrs. White, “Come in and meet my son, Bob.” After Bob and Jack have the cakes, they go out to play football together.
Jack says, “I am glad you live next door.”

Dear John,
I’m very happy about your coming to Chichester next week. The day after tomorrow is Monday and I have to go away on business(出差) for three days. I’ll leave a key to my neighbor at No. 21. So you won’t have to wait before I come back. Now let me tell you how to get here.
Walk up Star Road until(直到) you come to the first set of traffic lights and then turn right.
Walk along the road and then turn left at the first turning. Go straight, and Landsdowne Road is the second on the right. There you can find my house, the door at No. 22.
Oh! I nearly forget the most important thing --- please bring a sleeping bag because we may go camping. Well, I must go now. 1 have to go and take the car from the garage(汽车修理店) on Land Road. My car is in the garage because there is something wrong with its front lights.
Hope to see you soon
Yours,
Mike
