Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my   19   . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.

After my family moved back to Singapore, I    20   going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my  21   with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we   22   up to a beautiful view from the mountain top.

We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe,   26   we were at the highest top of the mountain.

假如你是Mary的好朋友，她在生活中遇到了一些问题，并写了一封信向你求助，请你给她回一封信，回信因涉及到来信的每一个问题，词数80左右。

Dear  Kathy,

I have some problems and I need your help.

I was good at English in the past, but now I am in Grade 3 and I find English is getting more and more difficult. Now I am facing a big test. How should I study for the English test?

Another problem is that now I am not allowed to watch TV. My mother said It was a waste of time, but I don’t think so. I think It’s a good way to have a rest. How can I solve this problem?

The last one is that I used to be thin, but now I am getting fatter and fatter. I am afraid to see my old friends, and I am very sad.

I know you always come up with good ideas. Could you help me deal with these problems?

Yours.

Mary

Dear Mary,

Yours.

Kathy
