In China, many people don’t like the number 4 or 14, since the number 4 in Chinese has the same pronunciation
as the word “die”. While some people in western countries don’t like the number 13, because they think it is
unlucky and they believe this number will bring bad news. Here’s a story about Mr Smith. One day, Mr Smith
invited 12 friends to his house to have a party. Everyone was happy at first. Suddenly one guest shouted, “There
are 13 people in this house now!” Some people began to be unhappy when hearing this. Mr Smith did not know
what to do or what to say at that moment. He regretted inviting that guest. One minute later, a woman smiled and
said, “Well, I’m pregnant right now. So there are 14 people in this house, not 13.” Everybody laughed, and they
were happy again.

Dear Mr. Green,
I’m Liu Fang from Xinhua Middle School. I’m very interested in your project and want to be a volunteer
teacher to help the students learn Chinese.
I’m friendly and always ready to help others. I’m good at Chinese. Last year, I won the first prize in the Chinese
Speech Competition. I have many good ways to learn Chinese well. For example, we can listen to the radio and
read aloud every morning. Also learning some popular Chinese songs helps improve quickly. Besides, talking with
local people is a fun and useful way to learn Chinese and Chinese culture. If I can get the job, I will be a great
helper.
Yours,
Liu Fang
