Dear James,
How are you? I want to tell you about the ways (方式) my family go to work or school. My parents are teachers, but they are not in the same school. My father's school is far from our home. It's about five kilometers. He drives his car to school every day. My mother usually walks to her school, because her school is near our home. I have two brothers, John and Peter. John is a high school student (高中生). He likes taking a bus to school. He thinks it is fun, because he can meet his friends and tall with them on the bus. It takes him thirty minutes to get to school. Peter and I are students in a middle school. My mother is in the school, too. I always go to school with Peter. We ride our bikes to school for ten minutes every school day.
What about you? How do you get to school?
Yours,
Amy
An officer（军官）is at a bus stop. He wants to see his girlfriend by bus. He wants to tell his girlfriend the time of his bus, and then she can meet him at the stop in her car. He wants to call his girlfriend on a pay phone（付费电话）,but he doesn't have a coin（硬币）for the phone. He wants someone to help him.
A soldier（士兵）is near the stop. The officer walks to the soldier and asks,“Do you have any coins for the phone?”
“Let me have a look,” says the soldier. “I'll see if I can help you.”
“Don't you know how to speak to an officer?” says the officer. “Now let's say it. Do you have any coins for the phone?”
“No, sir,” says the soldier.

How do you usually go on a trip? By car, by train or by plane? Do you know why?
First, I like trains because I can walk in them, and don't need to always sit (坐) there. Second, I can know much more about China because there are many people on the train. Third, I can play games on my computer or on my cellphone (手机), but on a plane I can't do that. I don't need much time to get to the place I want to go. I don't like buses, because they are always crowded (拥挤的), and they stop many times on the way. So many people like going on a trip by train. What about you?
