Dear Liz,

    Thank you very much {#blank#}1{#/blank#} your letter and the photos of your {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (friend) and family. Your parents and friends look {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (real) nice in the photo. Now I can tell you something about me and my family here in New York.

    I have two brothers. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they) names are Lukas and Andreas. They {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) 16 and 19. My mother is Christine. She is a teacher. She {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (work) in No.1 high school. My dad, Dieter, is a doctor in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} hospital. There are four bedrooms and a small garden in our house. My room is tidy, but my {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (brother) is not. They don't often clean it. I like playing volleyball, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} they don't like it. They like playing basketball. We have a dog, Zak, and we think he's cute. We {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (love) it a lot.

    Please tell me all about your friends and school in your next letter. I'd like to know about English schools.

                                                                                                                                                                                                 Love,

                                                                                                                                                                                                Laura

    My friend David is a doctor. He likes his work very much and he is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (friend) to everyone. Every day he works hard and saves a lot of people's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (生命). He also likes singing songs. He often listens to music in his free time, because he wants to be a m {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I really hope my friend can make his dream come t{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Now, it's seven o'clock, He {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (切) vegetables into pieces to make dinner. I like my friend.

    People travel to work in different ways. Some people go to work{#blank#}1{#/blank#}foot because they live near{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(they)work places. Some people go to{#blank#}3{#/blank#}by bike because they live farther away, or they like{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(ride)bikes. They think it's good for their{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(healthy). Today more people have private (私人的) cars, so they can go to work{#blank#}6{#/blank#}their cars. In the south of China, many people even go to work{#blank#}7{#/blank#}boat because water{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) around their{#blank#}9{#/blank#}house）. Will people {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(go) to work by plane? I think so, if necessary (如果必要的话).
