— My boy, be brave and tell yourself not to      .

—Thank you very much.

— Yes, she does well in singing.

— Of course.

    I have a good friend from Australia. Her name is Laura. Here is a photo of her family.

    There is a nice girl and a 1 boy in the photo. The boy is her

brother David. Laura is thirteen 2 David is ten. 3 do they look like? Laura is not fat and she is not 4 either. She is of medium build. She has a round 5 and it is like an apple. Her mouth is small, but her eyes are big. Her hair is 6 and blonde. Laura likes purple and she is often in purple clothes. She7 being a singer. What about David? He is a little thin. David doesn't like 8. His favourite colour is green. David wants to be an actor. They like 9 films very much. They often go to the cinema when they are free. It's relaxing for   10to see a film. You can also see a black dog in the photo. It's their pet dog Cici.

    Here is some information (信息) from three students. They are all Americans. Do you want them to be your pen pals?

    There is a student from China in our class.  He is very good at his lessons, but he is also very shy. He doesn't talk too much with us because he thinks that there are so many differences. When he came into our classroom for the first time, he was so frightened(受惊的) that he cried out.

    That's because of our appearances. For example, his hair is short, black and straight, but ours are all different from his. Jim's hair is yellow and much longer than his. Dave's hair is curly and brown. Kitty's hair is blonde. Our builds and clothes seem to be strange in his eyes too. Peter is a boy. He is tall and thin, but he wears a colourful T-shirt.

— Some people say we look like each other. We're both tall, and we have long curly hair.
