June 8, 2013 Dear Cindy, I’m sorry to hear   that Bird Flu (禽流感) is   very serious in some parts of the world and some people have got the flu. We   must take good care of ourselves and keep away from the disease. Could you   tell me what people in China do to keep away from it? Please write to me   soon. Yours, Betty

July 2, 2013 Dear Betty, I think Bird Flu   is very bad. Many chickens, ducks and birds in our country got the disease.   Some of them died, but some birds flew away and they might carry germs(细菌) to other places. This is a   serious problem. We must do something to solve it. Let me tell you   what people have to do to keep away from the disease. * Do morning   exercises every day. * Open the windows   in the morning. * Wash hands very   often. * Eat more   vegetables and less meat. * Go to bed early.   I think these are   good for our health. Do you think so? Yours, Cindy
