My dream was 43 . By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour baseball and 44 anything that moved on the field.

Dear John,
How’s everything? We haven’t seen each other for long. I’m very exciting to receive an e-mail from you. I’m glad you have made so great progress that you can write your e-mail with good Chinese. I read your e-mail to my parent and showed them the photos you’d sent to me. What time flies! Our friendship lasted for several months. We have got to know and learned a lot of from each other. Yes, it’s obviously that the life in Australia is quite different from one in China. I’m looking forward to hear from
you soon and I hope you will come to China in the near future.
Best wishes to you!

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about a discussion we’ve had about whether it’s worthwhile to explore the Antarctic.
Students are divided on the question. 65％of them think it is worthwhile. For one thing, the exploration of the Antarctic helps people better understand the problem of global warming. And for another, the bravery of explorers can encourage young people to explore the world. However, 35% of the students hold the opposite opinion. They said the weather conditions are terrible there. And some explorers may even lose their lives.
In my opinion, it’s worthwhile to make any exploration as long as it’s good for man. People have to pay for any success and the extraordinary courage shown by the explorers makes them into heroes.。
