Hi, Jake,
How’s it going? Sorry I haven’t been in touch for a while, but I couldn’t use my computer for a few days. You’ll 16 guess what happened to me!
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to take up yoga. Yoga is combination of physical and breathing exercises. It’s supposed to be good for relaxation and 17 . 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 go to the gym by bike. The lesson was great and I felt really 18 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 coughing and sneezing. I couldn’t go to school because I also had a high fever. We were having a maths test that day so it was great that I could 19 at home.
A．stronger B．know C．many D．a bit E. brought
I didn’t really enjoy my day off though. I felt awful and stayed in bed. Mum 20 me cups of hot tea for my sore throat (and you know how much I hate tea). She also went to the chemist’s and got me some vitamin pills.
I have to keep taking these for a while so I can get 21 .
That afternoon Robbie came to visit me. He said he’d got something to cheer me up and pretended it was the maths test that I missed. “Mr Banks says you can do it at home instead,” he said, but I knew he was joking. I didn’t think it was very funny, but he did! The next day, I was 22 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 healthier and instead I caught a cold! Anyway, I hope you’re OK. Write and let me 23 what you’ve been up to! Bye for now!

mosquitoes.” According to Butler’s study, mosquitoes cannot create their own cholesterol (胆固醇) and B vitamins, 47 they look for people who are rich in those things.

He is always in my heart. I couldn’t believe I lost him. As I think of my father, tears fill my eyes and stream down my face.
My dad always wanted to go to Canada, so he wrote a letter to one of my uncles in Canada for help. My uncle successfully got a visit visa(签证) for my dad. So he flew to Canada, looking for a better life for his kids. That year, I was six.
After a few months, dad wrote us a letter saying he was fine and happy. That letter, and its many fellows(伙伴) down the years, all with the same words, kept coming to our doors for 11 years. Yet, even as he lived here in Canada, his health was failing him―but fearing we would worry he never let on (透露) about his ill health. He spent these years in Canada working hard; finally after 11 years when he got his landed immigrant paper(永久居
民证), he wrote us saying all of us could move to Canada.
We were all happy that we would finally be together. It was to be a huge family reunion(重聚). Sadly my father did not live to see his family reunion as he suffered a serious heart attack.
Yes, Canada is a wonderful country. So many times I can’t help thinking it was here that my dad was taken away from us. When I miss him, I want someone to hold me and give me a hug. And when I see how everyone gives his father gifts on Father’s Day, wishing them a long, happy life, I want to do the same. But to whom can I give my Father’s Day gift and card? Where can I get the same warm loving hug again?
