Communication between parents and children is becoming a serious problem. I read a 41 about it in the newspaper. Some children have killed themselves after 42 with their parents. I think this is because they don’t have a talk with each other. Parents now 43 more time in the office, 44 they don’t have much time to stay with their children. As time passes, they both feel that they don’t have the 45 topic to talk about. I want to tell parents to be more with your 46 , get to know them and 47 them. And for children, show your 48 to your parents. They are the people who love you. So 49 them your thoughts. In this way, you 50 have a better understanding of each other.

Dear Kitty,
I am sorry that I did not write to you earlier because I have been very busy. I was helping with a charity show to raise money 31 Project Green Hope. A lot of work needed to be finished, so I did not have much free time.
I felt very happy when I 32 to be the host. It was exciting, 33 I was also very nervous. I know that lots of people would come 34 the show and many pop stars would come, too. My job was to 35 each star and I also had many other duties.
We practiced a lot before the show. I had to remember to look at the right camera at the right time. At first, I thought I would never be 36 to remember all the words.
The big day came very quickly, and I was so excited. Twenty minutes before the big event, we 37 the doors and many people came into the theatre to watch the show. The fans of the pop stars were making a lot of noise, so I had to speak 38 .
A lot of 39 has been given to Project Green Hope. I hope more events like this will be organized to raise money for charity and I think more people should be 40 to take part in them.
See you soon .
Best wishes!
Ricky
