      When I was 14, I was too nervous to talk to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was sad,
but I could do nothing. Later, something happened. It changed my life. It was an English speech contest.
My mother asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant that I had to speak before all the
teachers and students of my school.
      "Come on, boy, believe in yourself. You are sure to win." Then my mother and I talked about many
different topics. At last, I chose the subject "Believe in yourself". I tried my best to remember the whole
speech and practiced it over 100 times. With my mother's great love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly
believe my eyes when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers
and students. Those classmates who looked down on me, now said "Congratulations!" to me. My mother
hugged me and cried excitedly.

Dear Zhang Hua, 
      Have you ever been to Thailand? It is a country in Southeast Asia. I've been in Thailand for a few days
with my parents. We are here for a holiday.
      Now we are staying in Bangkok(曼谷). It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to
visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are great! This morning we went shopping.
Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry(珠宝)and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace(项链).
My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.
      Thailand is called "Land of Smiles" because people here are very friendly. And it's true! When we eat in
the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious, but
it is sometimes a little spicy for me. You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came
to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn't as spicy as Thai food. Our American
food can also be found in Bangkok, however, I don't eat it. You know, I'd like to try new things when I travel.
      The weather has been very hot. Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler. But today it's hot again.
                                                                                                                       Yours,
                                                                                                                       Mary
