Dear Amy,

    Thanks for your letter. It's always nice to hear from you.

    Today is the last day of my exams. The maths exam is very difficult, but other exams are easy. I'm waiting for the holidays now, and I'm very anxious to see you and to be with you again. I'm going to spend my Christmas and New Year holidays in New York with my sister. I'm going down town. I'm going to go shopping for Christmas gifts. I'm excited about Christmas, and about seeing you again.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Yours,

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Jack

    Today is sunny and warm. After I played the violin, my uncle took me to the zoo in the morning. We saw monkeys, tigers, elephants and many other animals. We had lunch in KFC. After lunch, we went to the bookstore. I bought a comic book and two magazines about sports. I was so happy. But my brother, Tim was sad. He had a fever. My mother took him to see the doctor. And then he stayed in bed. He was bored.

The Twin's Birthday

    Today is the twins' birthday. They are twelve. Jim, Mike, Kate and Bill are the twins' friends. They want to buy some things for them. There is a big shop near their school. It sells a lot of things. From the shop people can buy some food, some drink and some school things, like cakes, apples, milk, oranges, hamburgers, exercise books and so on. The shop closes very late. So they can buy things on their way home. They buy a big cake, two boxes of colour pencils, an orange yo-yo (溜溜球) and some nice exercise books. They want to buy two dolls and two toy trains for the twins. But all the dolls and toys are too expensive.
