Dear Nina,
I got a phone from my grandparents for my 13th birthday two months ago. Last month (in August), I spent at least two hours on it every day after school. When my parents knew it, they got really angry. My mom said, "From now on, you can use the phone for no more than an hour every day. And you cannot play games on it. " I feel so sad. Most of my friends have their own phones and they can use them any time they like. What should I do?
Yours,
Christina
Dear Christina,
I know how you feel. When I got my first phone at the age of 14, I was very happy. But my parents were very strict. My dad said I could use it for at most three quarters of an hour every day. I was sad, but it was no use.
I decided to make good use of it. Every day, I spent half an hour listening to my favorite English songs. For the rest (剩余部分), I either sent messages to my friends or talked with them. I never played games on it.
The phone brought me much happiness. So here's my advice: Think what you really want to do with your phone and make good use of it.
Yours,
Nina
Dear Sara,
How are things going? I'm writing to share with you a simple way to make fruit salad. I'm sure you will like it.
Ingredients (材料):
Fruits, condensed milk (炼乳), sugar, ice-cream.
Steps (步骤)：
⒈ Wash all the fruits and cut them into pieces. Then put them into a large bowl.
⒉Add a little sugar and pour some condensed milk into the bowl.
⒊Mix them well and place the bowl in the fridge to cool.
⒋Take it out in ten minutes, and add a spoon of ice-cream.
You can enjoy the fruit salad now!
Tips (提示):
◆If you can't find condensed milk, add enough sugar to the fresh milk, mix them well and pour it over the fruit. Don't use yogurt. It's not good for the taste of salad.
◆Make sure the fruits you choose are fresh.
◆This is a great dish for kids who don't like to eat fruit.
◆If you have an unexpected (意想不到的)visitor and don't have much time to cook dishes, the salad will help you a lot.
Yours,
Lisa
Why are talent shows popular？
Now we can see lots of talent shows on TV, from the Big Band to the Greatest Dancer and so on. This kind of program is quite popular, especially (尤其) with young people. It now has great impacts (影响) on their studies and lives.
There are some reasons behind the tide (潮流). To start with, young people need role models to learn from, so many of them are crazy about the winners in these programs. They often wear and speak in the way that the winners do. Secondly, young people are finding ways to show their talents or relax themselves, so some boys and girls are interested in joining in or watching such programs.
Every coin has its two sides. On the one hand, watching talent shows is a good way to relax mind to make us happy and excited. On the other hand, as students, however, we should spend more time and money on our schoolwork. As you know, it is always expensive to watch a live talent show.

a few minutes before that. It's often harder to get warmed up(热身) when it's cold outside. Putting
on clothes fresh from dryer is just one way to get your body warm.

Dear Michael,
How's everything going with you?
In your last letter, you told me your dream of being a famous singer. I am very glad to hear that because I think you have a talent for singing. You asked me how to become a famous singer. I hope the following advice can help you.
First, why not use the free website YouTube ? You can show your singing talent to the whole world on it. Many people become famous this way. Second, record some videos and send them to
music companies (公司). Don't choose easy songs. Remember, most music companies like original songs (原创歌曲). Finally, remember to practice hard every day. If you can get a vocal coach (声乐教练), get one. All the big stars have one. The coach can help you a lot with your singing.
I hope that your dream of being a famous singer will come true. By the way, next Friday I will have a birthday party. I will be very pleased if you come.
Yours,
Kim
