Dear Edward,   

    How are you doing? I just visited Machu Picchu in Peru today. I've never seen such a great place before. This place is so amazing that I want to share my feelings with you.

When I first got to Machu Picchu, I felt like I was walking in the sky. Even the clouds were just under my feet. Do you know how high Machu Picchu is? I was surprised that it was at about 2,500m. How could people build a city on such a high mountain? It must have been very difficult to move stones there.

Before the Europeans arrived, the Incas (印加人) were the last and the most modern society in the Andes (安第斯山). The Incas were afraid that the Spanish would find them, so they built Machu Picchu on an Andes plain (平地) as a secret city in the 14th or 15th century. As a result, the Spanish never found Machu Picchu.

An American explorer discovered Machu Picchu in 1911. For a long time before that, nobody even knew Machu Picchu was there. After Machu Picchu was found, it was called "The Lost City of the Incas". It is still a mystery why and how Machu Picchu was left and forgotten by everyone.

I just had a wonderful day. Especially, I will never forget the "goodbye boy" who was a local boy dressed in traditional Inca clothes. When we went down the mountain by bus, the boy waved goodbye to us until we were out of sight (视线). He shouted some words at us too, and I guess, it meant, "Goodbye, come back again soon!" Why don't you visit Machu Picchu someday? I am sure you will love this place as much as I do.

                                                                                                                                                                      Yours truly,

                                                                                                                                                                          Lynn

Sam and his friend, Bob, both entered a painting competition. Bob won the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(one)prize!

When Sam got home, he told Papa, "I worked hard on my picture. I wanted to win." "You did," said Papa. "And {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(you) is a fine picture." Mama hugged Sam and said, "I hope you congratulated Bob." Sam {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(shake) his head, "Bob was too busy getting his photo taken." Then he went to his room. He felt like doing nothing. He got very bored soon. He wondered {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Bob was doing. He remembered the fun they had together. He decided to do something. He took out his painting tools {#blank#}5{#/blank#} some paper. He painted a picture with a ship in it. Under the ship, he printed in big {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(letter):C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S! That was the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(big) word he knew.

Sam gave the picture {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Bob. "Thanks," said Bob. "I love ships. What is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} big word?" " Congratulations," said Sam.

"Wow!" said Bob {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(happy). "This is much better than getting my photo taken."

Friendship is much better than winning, isn't it?

There was a young man who was in trouble. He went bankrupt （破产） and his wife went away from him. From then on，failure was all that he had seen. Struggling with this，he went into the forest alone. There，he met an old man who had lived there for a long time. He shared his story with the old man and asked "Can you give me one good reason not to give up？"

"Look，" the old man said， "Do you see that fern （蕨类植物） and bamboo there？" "Yes，" the man answered. 

"When I planted the fern and bamboo seeds，I watered them carefully. A few days later，the fern quickly grew from the land，" the old man went on. 

"However，I watered the bamboo seeds for years，it still didn't sprout. But I didn't give up and continued looking after it. In the fifth year，a small sprout came out of the land. After a few months，the tree grew very，very tall. "

"The little bamboo tree had been growing underground in the past four years，developing a root strong enough for its ground growth in the fifth year. If it hadn't done this，it would not be so strong. So you know，all the time you were struggling，you were actually growing strong roots，" the old man said. Finally，the man thanked the old man deeply. Then he left the forest with the hope for life. 

 When shopping for clothes, my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits me well. To me, if it zips, it fits. My mom, however, usually tells me I need a bigger size.

 When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends, but my body size made it impossible. When mo m told me something didn't suit me, or I needed a bigger size, all I heard was that my body was wrong.

 To avoid arguments, we stopped going shopping together. This continued until  I got engaged(订婚) last year and needed to buy some clothes. When I tried on a blouse. my mother looked at me, and I knew what was coming." You need a bigger size," she said.

 There was no bigger size. I tried to hold back my tears. Maybe I could buy it alone, of course, but my mom is my favorite person to hang out with The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed just as scary as taking her with me.

 And so the day came. As I tried on a simple white dress. I saw tears in my mom's eyes. " You look beautiful! " she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more.

 This one didn't zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mother didn't say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked. In that moment, all the argument s in the past ended. We didn't buy a dress that day.

 We decided to see more, which I would never have predicted.

A few weeks later, we found the perfect dress. We both loved it as soon as I put it on. And during those few weeks, mom and I also found the perfect fit for our shopping relationship.

My father was busy fixing Belinda's spaceship all afternoon. In the evening, I went to the landing place. "Dear Father," I said politely. "Have you found Belinda's parents yet?"

"Not yet, my dear." He shook his head.

I felt relaxed. I didn't want to meet Belinda's parents—they might be ten times as loud and bossy as she was.

But Belinda had followed me.

"Not yet?" she shouted. "Why not? I'll send them a message! They'll listen to me!"

Belinda ran to the radio. She shouted into it so loudly that I had to cover all my four ears. "Mummy! Daddy! I'm on an awful spaceship full of purple people! Come and find me now!"

"Poor Belinda!" my sister came and said. "Her parents must be missing her."

"Huh!" I snorted (发出哼声). "Missing her? You're joking! Who would want such a bossy kid back? They probably lost her on purpose."

Belinda's face clouded. I thought she was going to shout again, but she didn't. Instead, something very strange happened — her eyes began to water!

"Oh, help!" said Roa. "Is she dying?"

I felt terrible. "Don't die, Belinda! I didn't mean it."

Then Belinda opened her mouth wide and shouted, "What if it's true? What if they've gone away and left me here forever?"

We were all so busy comforting Belinda that we didn't notice the soft knock of a ship landing outside. We didn't see two tall people come out of it until Belinda ran out in excitement.

"Mummy! Daddy!"

Belinda's parents were even uglier than she was, but they looked polite. "Hello, dear," the female said. "We're sorry we kept you waiting."

We smiled as the three of them boarded their spaceship. "Goodbye!" shouted Belinda. "Goodbye! Thanks for taking care of our baby girl!" said her father.

None of us answered. We waved cheerfully as the ship took off and went far away into the stars.
