1、Dear Isabel,
Thank you for your last letter. Here are photos of me and my twin sister Liu Ying. As you can see, in some ways we look the same, and in some ways we look different. We both have black eyes and black hair, although my hair is shorter than hers. We both like sports, although Liu Ying is more athletic than me. She’s more outgoing, and I’m quieter. I think I’m smarter than her. My favorite subjects are physics and chemistry, and her favorite subject is P.E. However, we both enjoy going to parties.
Please visit us soon!
Love, Liu Li
2、I like to have friends who are like me. I’m quieter than most of the kids in my class, and my best friend Yuan Li is quiet, too. There are some differences, though. I’m smarter than Yuan Li. She’s more athletic.
James Green It’s not necessary to be the same. I like to have friends who are different from me. My best friend Larry is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but Larry is more athletic than me. He always beats me in tennis. Also, I’m quieter than he is.

I don’t really care. My best friend is Carol. Carol is very funny, and more outgoing than I am. But we both like doing the same things. I don’t think differences are important in a friendship.

2、 Scott works very long hours. He usually gets up at 17:00. He brushes his teeth and has a shower. Then he eats his breakfast. What a funny to eat breakfast! After breakfast he plays his guitar, then he goes to work. To go to work, he takes the number 17 bus to a hotel. The bus usually takes him to work at 19:15. He works all night. People love to listen to him! He gets home at 7:00, and watches morning TV. He goes to bed at 8:30. Can you guess what his job is?

5、 How Did Kids Spend the Weekend?
Yesterday, we asked ten students at No.3 Middle School what they did last weekend. For most kids, the weekend was fun. On Saturday morning, ten kids did homework or studied. On Saturday afternoon, five kids went shopping, and three went to the library. Two kids also played computer games. On Saturday evening, seven kids watched a movie or stayed at home and watched TV. On Sunday, two kids visited friends, nine kids cleaned their rooms, and five played sports.
6、…but I’m pretty h ealthy. I exercise every day, usually when I come home from
school. My eating habits are pretty good. I try to eat a lot of vegetables. I eat fruit and drink milk every day. I never drink coffee. Of course, I love junk food too, and I eat it two or three times a week. Oh, and I sleep nine hours every night. So you see, I look after my health. And my healthy lifestyle helps me get good grades. Good food and exercise help me to study better.
7、 Nancy,
Thanks for taking care of my dog. Could you please do these things every day? Take him for a walk. Give him water and feed him. Then wash his bowl. Play with him. Don’t forget to clean his bed. Have fun! See you next week.
Thanks, Thomas。
