A) One possible version: This is a poem about the computer with easy and simple words. Brooks, the writer, tells us in the poem how humans and computers are different. A computer has a great effect on the way people live. It makes people's life easy and convenient. For example, I use the computer to get the information I need and communicate with my friends by sending emails or chatting on line. A computer is really a “useful” and “interesting machine”. However, the computer was made by human beings, who are “warm” and “wise”, and who have “empathy for animals and people”. No matter how useful and powerful a computer is, it is operated and controlled by human beings. So humans are great and clever! B) One possible version: Dear Joy, Thank you for your letter. You asked me to tell you what is in the news here. I think probably the most interesting story at the moment is the battle over our water supply. This is a very dry area in our country, and water is always a problem. Back in the early 60's, the Snowy Mountains Scheme turned a river around so that it flowed back inland rather than out into the sea. Since then we have had several major irrigation projects, and for a long time the irrigated farms did very well. However, we now have major disputes as to which farms should get the most water. Farmers at the end of the irrigation systems claim that they are not getting their fair share. I think people find this interesting because we all need water to live. We also know that if the farmers don't get water we will have far less to eat ourselves and less food to export. Take care, and write to me soon. Best wishes from your penfriend, Li Hua
