Dear Mr. Zhang,

    As a visitor, I'd like to ask you some questions.  

Yours,

Li Jun

    A few days ago, I ran into a stranger as he passed by. I said sorry to him. And we were very polite. Then we went on our way after saying goodbye.

    Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me. When I turned around, I nearly knocked her down. "Get out of the way!" I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying.

    That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, "You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you'll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself—pink, yellow, and your favorite blue."

    When I heard this, I thought deeply, "While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite, but with my daughter, I was not patient." I felt sad and tears began to fall.

    I quietly went to Betty's bed, "Wake up, my dear!" I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" She smiled, "I found them by the tree. I know you like them, especially the blue ones." I said, "I am so sorry that I treated you that way today." And she whispered (悄声说), "Mommy, that's okay. I still love you anyway." I kissed her and said, "I love you, too and 1 do love the flowers."

    That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work and didn't realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future.

    A gentleman once advertised (登广告) for a boy to help him in his office, and nearly fifty persons asked for the place. Out of the whole number he chose one in a short time, and sent all the other boys away.

    "I would like to know," said a friend, "on what ground you chose that boy. He didn't even have a recommendation (推荐信) with him."

    "You are mistaken," said the gentleman, "he had a great many."

    "He made his shoes clean when he came in, and closed the door after him, showing that he was orderly (井然有序的)."

    "He gave his seat to the disabled old man, showing that he was."

    "He took off his cap when he came in. and answered my questions quickly and respectfully (恭敬地), showing that he was polite."

    "He lifted up the book which I had purposely (故意地) laid on the floor, and put it on the table, while all the others stepped over it or pushed it aside, showing that he was careful."

    "And he waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing the others aside, showing that he was modest (谦逊的)."

    "When I talked with him, I noticed that his clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in nice order, and his teeth as white as milk. When he wrote his name, I noticed that his fingernails were clean, instead of having some untidy personal habits."

    "Don't you call these things letters of recommendation? I do, and the things that I can discover about a boy by using my eyes for ten minutes, are worth more than all the fine letters that he can bring."

    A golden envelope (信封) fell through the letter box. On the front, there was no (地址）or name of the person who sent it. It only said, "You've won."

    Mom opened it and was very glad to tell the family that they won a  (免费的) holiday. They were so excited and started to (讨论) the holiday plan.

    Laura said she wanted to go to the coast and swim in the sea. Ted hoped to go (某处) and eat lots of nice food. Mom preferred (更喜欢) to go shopping in big cities while Dad just wanted to leave his (生意) alone and have a good rest.

    They couldn't decide until it was (几乎)dark. Then the phone began to (鸣响). Ted answered it.

    "Hello! This is Lucky Holidays. You've  (赢得) a holiday to sunny Alexandria."

    "That's where my grandma lives."

    "This is Grandma!"

    "You played a joke on us!"

    "You're all invited to spend your summer holidays with me."

    They spent (十四) fun days in Alexandria. They were so happy and relaxed! (大家) got what they wanted.

    Haikou is the capital of Hainan. Here, we can enjoy the fresh air, the clear sky and the long beaches. The weather here is neither too hot too cold. We can also visit many (interest) places, as the Holiday Beach, the Wanlv Park and so on. It attracts lots of (visit) every year.
