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'mwaiting 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

A funny old man

    My neighbour is an old man．He is seventy—two years old．He lives with his granddaughter Linda．Every morning，he goes for a walk in the park and comes home at half past twelve for his lunch．

    One day a police car stops outside Linda's house at twelve o'clock．Two policemen help Linda's grandfather get out．One of them says to Linda，“He lost(迷失)his way in the park and telephoned us for help．”Linda is very surprised(奇怪)．So she asks her grandfather，“You have been to the park every day for twenty years．How did you lose your way?”

The old man smiles and says, "I'm sorry．I'm too tired today．So I don't want to walk home．”
