Dear Micheal,
How's your vacation? I'm visiting my uncle in Spain. He lives in the sunny and beautiful city of Valencia, in Spain.
Yesterday, I had great fun. My uncle took me to the tomato festival in Bunol, which is just 30 miles away from where my uncle lives. You have probably never heard of this festival before. Neither had I. The tomato festival is called "La Tomatina"in Spanish. It was the biggest and messiest tomato fight in the world. When we first got to the square where the festival took place, it was very crowded with people from all around the world, and many trucks were carrying tomatoes. My uncle told me the crowded people here were around 38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol.
The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger was beaten. Then everyone including me started throwing tomatoes at each other. I took red tomatoes and threw them at anyone that ran, moved, bent down, or turned around. Tomatoes must be squashed before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody.
After a little while, the streets, people and nearby buildings were splashed with red. There was no winner in this fight,but we all had fun. As soon as a second banger was beaten, people stopped throwing.
I really had a great time, I wish you were here, too. I hope I hear from you soon.Take care.
With love,
From Spain

When we buy a house, we all want to have nice neighbours, because most of us think that it is helpful to live with some good neighbours. But what kind of neighbour is good? The answers are different from people to people. Here are my answers.
First, it is very important to respect(尊敬) each other. If our neighbours try to know more about our life, what will we feel? He or she may also talk with others about our life. Do you want to live with him or her any more? The answer is “No”. We will feel very sad to have this kind of neighbour and move away quickly.
Next, a good neighbour is always ready to give us a hand when we need him or her. For example, if we are not at home, our good neighbours will watch our house for us.
Finally, a good neighbour should love the environment(环境). He or she never puts rubbish (垃圾)here and there. Good neighbours should keep the place clean, because the good environment can make us comfortable（舒服）and happy.

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport (机场) is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off（起飞）and it is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but it still takes you hours to go out of the airport and into the city.
I like taking the train. I think trains are safe (安全的). Train stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a lot of time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey (旅行) when you want to, and you don’t need to go to a train station or a bus stop. Also you can take many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.Why do many people like to travel by plane?
| A．Because it’s fast. |

Liu Wei is very famous in China because he can play the piano with his toes(脚趾).
One day when Liu Wei was only 10 years old, he played a game with some friends. He lost both his arms because of electricity.
Liu Wei was very sad when both his arms were cut off after the accident. But soon he had to make a choice.
“For people like me, there were only two choices. One was to give up all the dreams, which would cause a quick death. The other was to work hard without arms to live an excellent life.” says Liu Wei.
Liu’s dream was to be a pianist. His excellent life included a show on China’s Got Talent(《中国达人秀》) and a wonderful performance playing the beautiful Marriage D’amour with his two feet on the piano.
Liu Wei learned to play the piano with his feet. And teaching himself to play the piano with his feet was very hard. Many times he wanted to give up, but his parents went on encouraging him and he wanted to make his parents proud.
