Dear editor,

I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city. There are so many colourful peacocks here.

The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square. They are given food freely by visitors. The usually throw food to them, and don’t think about at all whether the food is right or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors.

I’m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds, but don’t realize that they may be doing them harm.

The visitors should he told that what they have done is very harmful to the birds and this kind of thing most be stopped from happening.

Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us every person, it’s our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.

Yours,

Sun Yan

Joe wanted a bike. He had asked his parents for the money and they had said he must earn it. But how?

He thought about this as he walked home. Not many people wanted to ask children to work for them. Maybe he could clear away snow for the neighbours. But this was summer. He would wait for that. He couldn’t cut grass for their gardens because he had no tool to do the work with.

Then Joe saw one of his classmates Dick delivering newspapers. I could do that, he thought. Maybe I could get the bike right away. I could pay for it a little each week. He ran to catch up with Dick. Joe asked a lot of questions about having a paper route. He learned that the job took about three hours each night. Dick gave him the phone number of the newspaper manager.

Joe almost flew home. After he had explained his plan, his mother smiled, “I think it’s a great idea,” she said, “I’ll call the newspaper…”.

“Wait, Mum,” Joe said, “I’ll call. After call, I’m going to be a business man now.”
