Dear Li Kang,

    I'm exciting to tell you about the American school system. Secondary school in the US usually covered seven years, grades six to twelve. At the end of twelfth grade, American student receive the high school diploma. Students need a high school diploma if they want to go to the college.

    The school year is dividing into two semesters, the first of that is September through December, and the second January through May. We have a long summer vacation! We start school in 7: 50 am and we finish at 3 pm.

    I take part in many amazed after­school activities—I play football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis and I went to theater club.

    Will you tell me something about your summer vacation and the Chinese school system in your next letter?

    Looking forward hearing from you soon.

    Rob Marshall

    Recently I failed an exam. However, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}I came out of my teacher's office, I told myself, "Smile! It's not so serious."

    I smiled a big smile and it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (work) a little, really.

    Everyone gets {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (frustrate) sometimes. I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits. But one day I came {#blank#}4{#/blank#}a sentence in the Bible, "Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself, let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day." It suddenly struck me，"{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(worry) about a problem doesn't help. Why not just {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(give) a big smile and face up to the trouble？"

    Now every time I want to cry, I remind myself that{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (laugh) is better than tears and anger. I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (convince) that there's something magical about a smile. A smile helps me recover confidence and gives me the courage to move on.

    Remember, whenever you're faced with a setback, whenever you've been treated {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fair), all it takes is determination and you can feel happy again. Smile at life, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}it will shine on you.

    I am taught by many teachers in my school. Every subject has a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (differ) teacher, but I like my math teacher{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (well). Her name is Lakshmi, but we usually call her Ma'am. She is our class teacher, too.

    Ma'am {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (join) us last term. She is very kind and her method of teaching is so interesting and simple {#blank#}4{#/blank#} we all can understand what is being taught. Most{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (important), Ma'am teaches us with great patience. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} we do not understand a problem, she will spend extra time {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (explain) about it until we understand it. And we can go to her at any time during school hours for help.

    She also helps us with activities at school. When there is some kind of program, she will be there to help us to get ready {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the show. Even when we go on a picnic, she takes good care of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (we).

    To me, Ma'am is not only {#blank#}10{#/blank#} good teacher, but also our best friend. I love Ma'am and I wish her a happy life.

    A free program {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (help) Milwaukee Public High School students realize their theater dreams at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.

    "My mom put me in acting classes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I was seven because I was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (extreme) shy," says 17-year-old Beatrice Low.

    "And I just {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (take) to it like a duck to water, I guess."

    Today, she's having the chance {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (work) one-on-one with a professional, touring actress through program at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.

    "I can't describe it, it's amazing, I love it," Low says.

    It {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (call) "Arts Connect" and pairs a class of young actors with theater professionals for a weeklong workshop.

    During one session, Beatrice works with actress Teri Hansen. She was in Milwaukee for the Marcus Center's recent touring {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (produce) of "An American in Paris."

    "It's the favorite thing that I do, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (work) with aspiring artists," Hansen says.

    Together they work {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a song from the Andrew Loyd Weber musical "Tell Me on a Sunday," with an audience of Beatrice's young peers. No pressure.

    The Marcus Center makes the Arts Connect program free for students from three Milwaukee public high schools. It's has been {#blank#}10{#/blank#} invaluable—even life-changing—experience, Beatrice says.

    John Snow was an expert doctor who attended Queen Victoria {#blank#}1{#/blank#} her personal physician. However, he was well-known for his defeat of “King Cholera”. During the mid-19th century, London suffered a series of cholera outbreaks. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(expose) to the deadly disease, many thousands of {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(terrify) people died every time there was an outbreak. John was determined to help them. He believed the disease {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(absorb) into people's bodies through meals and he needed evidence to prove his idea. In 1854, when there was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} outbreak in London, he was ready to began his enquiry. He gathered the information and marked on a map the exact places {#blank#}6{#/blank#} all the dead people had lived. With the help of the map, he found that in two particular streets, the outbreak was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(extreme) severe. He did further research and found the polluted water from pump was {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(blame). He immediately told the astonished people not to drink the water. Later, John found supporting evidence from two other deaths linked to the Broad Street outbreak. So, he was able to announce with {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(certain) that cholera was spread by germs. To prevent this from happening again, John Snow suggested that the source of all the water sources {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(examine). Finally, King Cholera was defeated.
