this will happen less often as you grow up. There will always be some people who will judge (评判) you based on
(基于) your height. But there isn’t anything you can do to change their minds, And if someone thinks less of you
because of your height. They’re probably not someone who is worth getting to know anyway. Love yourself for
who you are— you’re the only you there is.
Yours,
Sherry

Dear Joe,
I wrote you the letter to tell you about what the world used to be like when I was young. Life used to be very
different then. We didn’t have cell phones when we wanted to talk to our friends. We didn’t have e-mails either, sowe had to write letters.
When we traveled from town to town, we used to walk or ride horses or take a cart(马车). Later we had buses
and very few people had cars. Air travel was a luxury and we used to dream of riding on an airplane but now
everyone does. It’s so common.
Food is another big difference. There weren’t any supermarkets so we used to grow our own food. We would
exchange some with people from other towns to buy the things we didn’t have. We didn’t have a refrigerator (冰箱)
so we kept things cool in a special room downstairs.
But the biggest difference is electricity. We didn’t have any in our town! At night, we used to light candles
when we wanted light and we burned coal (煤) or wood to keep warm. We didn’t have television. In summer, we
used to go swimming in the river.
Life used to be very different, but we were happy.
Love,
Grandpa

Dear Chairperson,I am Li Hua, and I am a member of the Buddy Club. I’d like to recommend my best friend Zhang Jun to join
the club.

round glasses makes him look smart. Everyone gets along well with him.
He is always helpful and honest. He often goes to the home for the elderly to do some cleaning and shopping
for the old people. He never tells lies or says a bad word about others. He is good at playing the guitar and singing.
The old people like listening to his music.

Thanks for your time. I hope you can think about my recommendation. I am looking forward to hearing from
you.
