Dear Mary,

After Robot finishes eating his food, you can{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(clean) his small room. Then, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (take) him for a walk. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(not let) him be with Mom's dog Frank. They will fight. Many thanks.

    Joseph is a teacher in New York. He gives lessons to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (he) students about American history. But he was born {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Kenya, an African country where the children lead a very different life. For example, a ten-year-old boy may spend {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (much) time in taking care of cows than studying at school. The children also learn many {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (skill) like how to live in the wild.

    Unlike many other children, Joseph went to school. And {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (lucky), when he was 15, he came 6{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (study) in America and then became a teacher. Joseph has written {#blank#}7{#/blank#} book called Facing the Lion. In the book, he talks about his childhood. He thinks {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is very important for American children to learn about the cultural differences between their country {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the others. He also thinks children should learn to be strong and full of hope. Now Joseph {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (do) a project, hoping that it will help children face their own "lions".
