Hi Jake，
How's it going？ Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while， but couldn't use my computer for a few days． You'll never guess what happened to me!
A couple of weeks ago， I decided to take up yoga． Yoga is a combination of physical and breathing exercises． It's supposed to be good for relaxation and （1） ． I've been feeling a bit stressed about my school work recently and I thought yoga might help．
My dad couldn't give me a lift to the first lesson， so I decided to （2） ． The lesson was great and I felt really relaxed afterwards． On the way home， though， it started raining and I got very wet! The next day， I woke up with a bad cold． I couldn't stop （3） ．
I couldn't go to school （4） ．I also had a high temperature． We were having a math test that day so it was great that I could stay at home． I didn't really （5） though． I felt awful and stayed in bed． Mum brought me cups of hot tea for my sore throat （and you know how much I hate tea!）． She（6） went to the chemist's and got me some vitamin pills． I have to keep taking these for a while．（7） I can get stronger．
That afternoon Robbie came to visit me． He said he'd got something to （8） and pretended it was the math test that I'd missed． "Mr Bank says you can do it at home instead，" he said， but I knew he was joking． I didn't think it was very （9） ， but he did!
The next day， I was still a bit pale and didn't have much energy， but I was feeling better． The day after that， I was able to go back to school．
Can you believe my luck？ I went to the yoga class to feel （10） and instead I caught a cold!
Anyway， I hope you're OK． Write and let me know what you've been up to!
Bye for now!

Do you often throw away things you don't need anymore？ Have you ever thought about how these things can actually be put to good use？ Nothing is a waste if you have a creative mind．
You have probably never heard of Amy Hayes， but she is a most unusual woman． She lives in a house in the UK that she built herself out of rubbish． The windows and doors come from old buildings around her town that were pulled down． The top of the house is an old boat turned upside down． And the gate in front of her house is made of rocks and old glass bottles． Amy recently won a prize from the Help Save Our Planet Society． The president said， "Amy is an inspiration to us all．"
Amy isn't the only one who is good al recycling． Jessica Wong from Hong Kong uses old clothes that people don't wear anymore to make bags． She has been doing this for a few years now． She opened a small shop where she sells her bags， and she has also set up a website to sell them online． She especially likes to use old jeans to make handbags． Her bags are cute and useful． "I plan to write a book about new ways to use old clothes，" she said． "I hope people can read my book and enjoy it!"
Wang Tao set up a small business in Shanghai four years ago． He is known for using iron and other materials from old cars to make beautiful art pieces． Some are large pieces that look like animals or humans， and some are smaller pieces you can put at home． The more popular works can even be seen in art shops around the city． Wang Tao hopes to set up a "metal art" theme park to show people the importance of environmental protection． Not only can the art bring happiness to others， but it also shows that even cold， hard iron can be back to life with a little creativity．
