Joan is a nice girl. One day when she was taking a walk in the park, she saw a bird lying on the grass. Joan found that there was something wrong with its wing(翅膀) and it counldn't fly. She ran to the bird and{#blank#}1{#/blank#}  it up. Joan took it home. She looked after the bird very carefully. Soon the bird got better. Joan let the bird{#blank#}2{#/blank#} away.
   Now, the bird often {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to Joan's window. Each time the bird {#blank#}4{#/blank#} some food by Joan. It seems that the bird enjoys visiting Joan. For Joan, the bird{#blank#}5{#/blank#} her friend since she brought it home.

Dear Jessica,

    Let me introduce {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. My name is Wang Mei. I'm twelve years old. I live with my mother and father. I have no brothers {#blank#}2{#/blank#} sisters, but I have many friends. I am 1.6 metres tall. I like to play chess. Last year, I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} first place in my school. My favorite food is noodles. I can {#blank#}4{#/blank#} noodles myself!

    Do you study any other languages in school? I am learning English now. I want to have some more English-speaking friends. Learning English {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the world up to me.

    Here is a picture of me. What do you look like? Can you send me a photo of yourself? I'm looking forward to your reply.

Your new Chinese friend,

Wang Mei

Dear Josh,

    You asked , “ Why is it so hard for them to understand me ?” That's a good question. You're growing up , but often , it's hard for your parents to {#blank#}1{#/blank#}this . To them , you are still a child and they want to protect you . Sometimes , you find it hard to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}your thoughts to parents . Here's my tip : Write your mother and father a letter . Explain your feelings {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. In the letter , describe your friends and yourself . At the same time , tell your parents about your {#blank#}4{#/blank#}towards life , too. Then maybe they will understand you better. After your parents read the letter , try to talk to them .

    I hope this helps !
