Emily Urich 18 years old Canada
A lot of teens aren’t responsible（有责任感的），and that’s where I’m different. Not just about school but everyday things like being able to pay my own credit card（信用卡）bills on time. 
The first time I got a cartoon book was on my third birthday. From then on , I fell in deep love with it. And can you guess how many cartoon books I’ve read? I don’t really know the exact number. But I have three full boxes of them under my bed. I also like drawing cartoons and wish to be an art teacher in a sch001. 
Joe Miller 16 year’s old America
I’m proud of doing things my own way. So whether somebody wants me to do something or whatever it is , I feel like they’re all other people’s thoughts , not really mine. But like others , I love reading , too. When I first took skiing lessons , I found it exciting. For ski racing，there’s no question I’m better shape than most guys（小伙子）. I think it’s fun. I mean，it is a challenge（挑战）. It’s where I picked up the idea of needing a challenge always in my life. In order to improve my skiing skills，I have read many books and magazines about it. No doubt it’s my dream to win gold medals in the Olympic Games. 
An Oi 15 years old China
I’m different because I prefer to drop out of the world to create my own world. I’d like to build a house on a mountain. And I choose to live without electricity, a telephone，or even indoor plumbing（室内卫生设备）. I have many hobbies such as traveling，reading , writing and spending time with children. I love children because they are smart and creative. They always have many strange ideas. It makes me excited. I want to do something for Hope Project and become a country school teacher .

Boys and girls, here I will tell you something about my first trip to the USA.
When I get to Kennedy Airport, I begin my visit to the USA. First, I go to Roy Senior high School. I’m happy on the first night in America because I live with a kind family, the Edwards. It’s a big family. They are very friendly to me. They help me do many things. When I want to write to my friends, they buy stamps for me; when I lose my camera, they help me buy a new one.
After some days, I go to another school in New Haven. I live in the Palumbos’ house. There are three people in the family. I’m surprised that the parents are from two countries.
It is a nice trip and I’m happy to be with the two families. They will be my friends for ever(永远).

A traveler came out of the airport. There were a lot of taxis. He asked every taxi driver about his name. Then he took the third one. It cost 5 dollars from the airport to the hotel. “How much does it cost for the whole day?” The man asked. “100 dollars,” said the taxi driver. This was very dear (昂贵的), but the man said it was OK.

The taxi driver took the man everywhere. He showed him all the parks and museums in the city. In the evening they went back to the hotel.
