Dear Jenny,
I hoped that you are well. We have arrived at our new home in Australia. The house is very nice. It has big windows in each wall. The bright sunshine comes into every room. The weather is much better than that in England.
I have started at my new school. Everyone is friendly, but I do miss my friends at home, especially you! Australians all seem to be very good at sport, unlike you and me. I find it quite difficult to fit in during break time, because all the other girls are busy running around playing netball or basketball.
My new classmates are all different. Yesterday at lunchtime I saw three girls. One girl has ginger hair, and comes from Ireland(爱尔兰). Another girl has long, straight, black hair, and is from Vietnam(越南). The third girl is short, and has a wide, flat face. Her family comes from Peru(秘鲁).
There is a Dancing Club here, a bit like the one you and I went to. I have been to the club twice now. The teacher looks a bit like Mrs. Jackson! They are both tall and very thin. They both have their hair pulled back into a ponytail, and they both walk about like the Queen! I’m enjoying the club. I am sure I will meet some new friends there.
Please write to me soon because I miss you!
Sarah

Long ago in a small village, there was a place called the House of 1,000 Mirrors(镜子).
A small, happy little dog learned about this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he jumped happily up the stairs and to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway. His ears lifted up, and his tail wagged as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself looking at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile and he found 1,000 great smiles that were just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself: “This is a wonderful place. I will come back to visit often.”
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the other one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung (垂下) his head low as he looked into the doorway. When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly-looking dogs looking back at him, he growled at them. He was afraid when he saw 1,000 little dogs barking back. As he left, he thought to himself: “That is a terrible place. I will never go back there again.”
