Every year our school has a speech contest. Last month I entered it for the first time. My topic was honesty, and I told a story about my own family.
Before the contest, I was afraid. My teacher told me to be brave and speak slowly. I practiced at home every night for two weeks.
I did not win, but the manager of a bookstore gave me a small gift. He said my speech made him think about his own life.
我們學校每年都有演講比賽。上個月我第一次參加。我的主題是誠實，我講了一個我家的故事。
比賽前我很害怕。老師要我勇敢一點、講慢一點。我在家每天晚上練習，練了兩個星期。
我沒有得名，但一家書店的經理送我一個小禮物。他說我的演講讓他想起自己的人生。
Dear Kevin,
How are you? I am happy to hear that you will visit us this fall. My father will take you to the lake near our house, and we can fish there all day.
My mother says you must get up early here. She does not like lazy mornings! We eat breakfast at seven and wash the dishes together.
Please bring your camera. There is a wonderful old temple behind our school.
Your cousin,
Ben
親愛的凱文：
你好嗎？聽到你今年秋天要來看我們，我很開心。我爸爸會帶你去我們家附近的湖，我們可以在那裡釣一整天的魚。
我媽媽說你在這裡必須早起。她不喜歡懶洋洋的早晨！我們七點吃早餐，然後一起洗碗。
請帶你的相機來。我們學校後面有一座很棒的古老廟宇。
你的表哥
阿本
