Hi Jamie. This is Michael. Sorry you're not in. There is a play (戏剧) on in New Theatre. The play is called The Dinner Party. Do you want to see it? It is about some friends. They meet again after twenty-five years for a dinner. People say it's really good. I think you will like it.

   I know it's your birthday on 27th August. Well, the play is on the 29th.

    The New Theatre is in Church Street near Mr Henry's Bookstore. The theatre is new and very nice inside.

    The play starts at eight in the evening, so why don't we meet in the bookstore first? I'll see you there at 6:45 pm and we can do some reading before it starts.

    If you want to see the play, please call me at 778-4219. Bye.

    Liu Tuchi, an 87­year­old man, has given away thousands of books to kids in five villages in Southwest China and built some reading rooms in the past 13 years by collecting and selling rubbish.

    "After selling the rubbish, I go to bookstores to search for good books," Liu said. When he has enough books, he sends them to the kids in the villages.

    Liu was an officer in Sichuan Province before retiring (退休) in 1993. "I passed by a primary school in Qilong Village in 2005 and was shocked by the poor conditions," he said. With old classrooms and broken desks, the students hardly had any books. So Liu took out more than 5, 000 yuan and raised more than 8, 000 yuan from his family and friends to give away books to the school. Since then, he has kept on giving away books to rural (农村的) kids.

    Liu's work has opened his new lifestyle (生活方式). He collects and sells waste, such as bottles and old newspapers. In 2008, Liu started building reading rooms. So far he has built more than 15 reading rooms. Liu always says, "Children in rural areas should not be left behind, especially in education."

    It's June, and summer vacation will begin soon. That's a good thing. Most kids love summer vacation—they've worked hard during the school year and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Also, the freedom of summer gives them self-esteem (自尊心), happiness, and creativity. When kids have free time, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, causing them to feel good about themselves and believe in themselves.

    But there's another side: the freedom of summer can cause the "summer drop," where kids forget some of the reading, writing and math skills {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Many students go down in reading levels during the summer. Math skills are also easily forgettable for kids during the two months of school break. A lot of teachers spend weeks playing catch-up in the fall to make up for the summer drop. To avoid this drop in learning, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    Traveling can be a fantastic way for parents to encourage continued learning during the summertime. Whether taking the kids on a road trip to visit family, or getting on a flight to travel in a different province or country, the learning possibilities are endless. If you and your family have a road trip or vacation planned this summer, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. With a little planning, parents can create learning opportunities that are so fun. The kids won't even realize you are putting education into their free time quietly and secretly.
