Dear sister:

　　I've been happy here in New York. But when holidays are coming near, I really feel “There's no place like home,” just like the English proverb says, “East, west, home is the best.

　　You must be doing well in English class. The letter you sent to me was written in good English.

　　Well, I want to bring my friend Diana to our home. I dare not tell Mama directly. If Dad and Mum say that will be all right, please write to me as soon as possible.

　　Diana is a poor girl whose parents died last month in a terrible accident. She has to spend the holidays alone. She wants to see China and try everything that we Chinese do. She has learned Chinese for two years and can speak a little. She has great curiosity about our family life and will ask you many questions about it. Isn't it a good chance to understand each other? I'm sure you'll learn many things from her.

　　Please give my love to our father and mother!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Your sister,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    Mei

　　Are you eager to go back to your school? Do you hope to do a lot of homework every evening? Are you interested in your classes? What subjects do you want to learn? Why do you like them? Maybe you have lots of questions in your mind before school starts.

　　Well, I want to give you some good advice on these problems.

　　First, keep calm. Don't worry about all the questions you have. Put your hearts into learning. You can find something you are interested in. Do it actively.

　　Second, try your best to finish your homework quickly. Don't spend a lot of time on it. Do more reading or writing in English. Think about the problems you have and solve them at once. Don't stay up late. You can't study well the next day.

　　Third, use some new ways of learning instead of copying or repeating. If you can remember the words in your way, you can tell your teachers you don't like the way of copying them again and again. Be sure, you must pass the test. I think your teachers will agree with you. And they can give you some interesting work to do.

　　School is really a good place for us to learn knowledge and make friends. Believe your teachers and yourself. You are the best one and you can do everything well
