Jane,
After I left Paris I spent two days in New York City and one day in Washington DC. I got to Miami, Florida on Nov. 13. The weather is wonderful here. This morning I went swimming and then slept on the beach. When I woke up, I found Jennifer Lopez—my favorite movie star!  She was just on my right!  I asked her to take a picture with me. You know, that was my dream. She agreed!  I'm going to show you the picture.
Yours,
John
Dear Dad,
I got here after 18 hours on a train at last!  It's very cold here in Moscow. It's white everywhere. This afternoon I went to have a look at the city. I got lost. I was glad I took Russian lessons in my university. They helped me a lot. A young girl showed me the way back to my hotel. I think I can finish my work here and go back home soon. I'm longing for the warm sunshine at home. See you soon.
Max
Dear Amy,
I arrived in Guilin yesterday. What a beautiful place!  The people are kind here and I have some new friends. Guess who I met here!  Tom, my high school classmate. How small the world is!  He is working here as an English teacher at a middle school. He showed me around the city. I also went to his school. I bought a special bag made in Guilin for you and a silk tablecloth for Mom. Tomorrow evening I'm going to fly to Beijing.
Love,
Mafia

“I believe you’re the right person to write an advice column (专栏) for the students called Dear Amy!” Jenny, editor of the school newspaper, said to Andy, who finally agreed to accept the job if Jenny promised not to tell it to anyone else.
At first it wasn’t too bad. Most of the letters he received were interesting and quite easy to answer. Then came a letter from a person named Joe.
“Dear Amy,” it began, “I’m in real trouble. I’ve wanted to be a songwriter all my life, but my parents won’t even let me take music lessons. I have a guitar, but they both get angry if I play. I’ve tried explaining, but they won’t listen. I feel sad. Should I run away from home? Maybe that will make my parents agree.” The letter signed “Joe”.
Andy thought about this letter for a long time. Should he advise someone to run away from home? Probably not. But didn’t Joe have a right to be a songwriter if he wanted to? Andy thought hard, but couldn’t think out a good answer. Andy couldn’t sleep. He just worried about poor Joe.
At a bar a few days later, Eleanor, a girl in Andy’s math class, sat down next to him and asked, “ What’s wrong with you? You look a little worried.”
“I guess I do,” said Andy.
“If you got an problem, why don’t you try writing to Dear Amy about it?” asked Eleanor.
Andy sighed; but she continued, “in fact, I guess Dear Amy is rather busy with other problems. She still hasn’t answered the phony letter I wrote her last week. You’d better read it – it may even make the most hard-hearted person cry! It was supposed to be from a songwriter named Joe.”
