Dear Sandy,

    How are you?  It's Saturday today and I have some time to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to you. We are busy {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Monday to Friday. We have to get up at six thirty in the morning. After some exercise we have {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. We have five classes a day and the first class {#blank#}4{#/blank#} at 8 o'clock. Our teachers are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and we can't be late for school. We play sports in the afternoon. We can play basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, tennis and ping-pong. Some of us like art. They can sing, dance and draw. Sometimes Miss White, our biology teacher takes us to the zoo. Our school {#blank#}6{#/blank#} at five. After supper we often watch TV for {#blank#}7{#/blank#} hour. But we have to finish our homework first. I like math and often do some difficult exercises. I go to bed at ten thirty. I often feel tired. Please write and tell me {#blank#}8{#/blank#} your school life.

Yours,

Zhou Hong

    Lisa has always been fat. She wanted to lose weight, not only because she wanted to look more beautiful and healthier, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} also because it would make life easier.

    For example， it was difficult for Lisa {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (find) ready-made clothes. She had to ask a tailor(裁缝) to make clothes that were large enough. In the school, she needed a special chair that was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (big) and stronger than other chairs. If she went for a walk, she got tired very {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (quick).

    She was also unhappy about the way people treated her sometimes. She couldn't enjoy having dinner with her friends {#blank#}5{#/blank#} she was afraid of getting fatter.

    But now things are quite different, Last month, her classmates were {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (prepare) for the School Art Week. They invited Lisa {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (play) the lead role of the Proud Queen(皇后) that was tall and fat. Lisa agreed and practiced a lot.

    Soon after the play, Lisa became a star. She did {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a good job that everyone remembered the Proud Queen. She even won the School Best Actress Award {#blank#}9{#/blank#} her wonderful performance.

    Now Lisa doesn't worry about being fat any {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. She believes in the English saying "Every dog has its day".
