Dear Mia,
I am on vacation in the Philippines with my family. Our hotel is near the sea, and we can see the water from our room.
Yesterday we joined a boat tour. The guide was kind, and he spoke three languages. He told us many funny stories about the island.
Tomorrow we will go to a summer camp for two days and sleep in tents. I will send you photos when I get home on Thursday.
Your friend,
Sara
親愛的米亞：
我正和家人在菲律賓度假。我們的旅館靠海，從房間就能看見海水。
昨天我們參加了一趟遊船之旅。導遊人很好，他會說三種語言。他跟我們說了很多關於這座島的好笑故事。
明天我們要去夏令營地待兩天，睡在帳篷裡。等我星期四回到家，我會把照片傳給你。
你的朋友
莎拉
School Library — New Rules
New novels and poem books are on the shelf near the door. If you take good care of the books, everyone can enjoy them. Return your books before Thursday.
學校圖書館——新規定
新的小說和詩集放在門邊的書架上。如果你好好愛惜這些書，大家就都能享受閱讀。請在星期四前還書。
Reading is good for your brain. Doctors say people who read every day can remember more words. Reading before bed can also bring you nice dreams.
Where can we find good things to read? Newspapers give us new articles every morning. Libraries keep old novels and poems. Some students read at least ten pages a day.
Writing is helpful, too. When you write down your ideas, you learn the language better.
閱讀對你的頭腦有好處。醫生說每天閱讀的人可以記住更多單字。睡前閱讀也能帶給你好夢。
我們可以到哪裡找好東西來讀呢？報紙每天早上提供我們新的文章。圖書館則收藏了舊的小說和詩。有些學生一天至少讀十頁。
寫作也很有幫助。當你把想法寫下來時，你就把語言學得更好。
