Happy Father’s Day to you! On this special day, I’d like to talk to you in a special way. I don’t think I am good at telling you my thoughts face to face,     1     I write this letter to show my love to you.

You are not a rich man or a famous person. You are a common     2     (work) in a factory. But I think you’re the     3     (great) father in the world. I am proud     4     you.

You remember that, Dad? When I was in the     5     (three) grade, I fell ill and felt so terrible one night. You     6     (send) me to the hospital at once.     7     (luck), I got better the next day. You were so tired, but I could see the smile on your face.

You often tell me to believe     8     (I) and keep trying. Sometimes we may have different     9     (opinion), but I am quite happy to have such     10     good father. I love you, Dad.

Wish you happy forever!

【推荐2】Born in the city, I regard the country life as something far away. I'm used to     1     in the city, even the noises and pollution. I have    2    been to the country. Nature is a strange word to me. This summer I had     3    opportunity to go with my parents on a visit to the countryside.

    4    the first time in my life I have the experience with the country life. This is a small village far from cities. The     5    here is simple. It is different from the city life. There are few cars or other traffic on the way. The air is     6    .The people are friendly. They are not as busy as people in big cities. Everywhere you can find them bathing    7    the sun. They     8    clean water. They enjoy the quiet life very much. What's more, here you can     9    the sound of nature. You can see the children playing with water in the river and the dogs running after the people. All these make a wonderful picture of countryside.    10    I love the country life!

【推荐3】The sweetest memory of my childhood is about a round table.     1     I was still little, my whole family would get together on traditional festivals to have dinner.

When I got a bit older, my aunt brought back her boyfriend and my grandma cheerfully added another seat to the round     2    . It seemed a little more crowded but we all felt much closer to each other. I lost my grandpa     3     the age of 23, he died. That     4     us feel sad. However, when the whole     5     got together once again, we totally agreed that his chair, his bowl and his chopsticks should stay the same.     6     his seat was empty, we felt as if he had never left us.

We all have a table like this in our homes. It is     7     sign of reunion of our family, showing feelings. The reasons why we come together may be different, but the feelings behind it are the     8    . Usually all     9     of cultures are accepted by us around the table. What’s more, we express the love around the table not only for our family, but also for our community, our nation, and     10     the whole world.

【推荐1】When we are worried or angry, we don’t always know what to do. Here are some tips about how to deal with strong feelings and relax yourself.

Lie down in     1     safe place. Close your eyes and listen to slow music to     2     your mind quiet. Imagine every part of your body relaxing. Start with your toes and as you breathe. Imagine them becoming one with the earth. Try to be as     3     as possible.

Take a piece of paper to write about what has happened and list steps of     4     to work it out. After you write     5     down, throw it away. It’s like throwing away those feelings you just want to get out.

Realize that you cannot control（控制）what will     6     today. When you find yourself getting worried or stressed (有压力的)     7     life seems to be out of control, take a few deep breaths first. And then     8     yourself “Life is crazy but I am calm”. Repeat（重复）this ten     9     and you will get calm.

Don’t get down on yourself. If you’re having a bad day, look     10     yourself in the mirror and tell yourself good things. Say “You are smart/beautiful/handsome” to keep your confidence up. Don’t let other people bring you down! Stay Strong!

Guess what? I have a chance to choose my new place     1     (live) in! I’m excited and a little nervous. Could you please give me some help?

I’m not sure     2     I will live in a house or in an apartment. On the one hand, a house will be too big for just one person, so maybe I should rent an apartment. On the other hand, if I rent a house, I could find someone else to share with me. The only problem is that a house full of people might be too     3     (noise) for me. I prefer to have my own space. The city has some nice apartments, but they are also too expensive. However, if I could find a two bedroom apartment and get a roommate, that would make it more affordable (付得起的). I just need to search for a roommate who is neat and quiet. You know I can’t live with someone who is loud and messy. I don’t have a car, so I also need to think carefully about the location (位置). I probably need to look for somewhere near a bus stop or an underground station. That way I will have more time to study and spend less time     4     (travel).

I’m looking forward to     5     (hear) from you.

Love,

Victor

【推荐1】When you are a kid, your parents decide everything for you. You depend     1     your parents for your food, your clothes, and other basic necessities (必需品) of life. Parents get used to     2     (take) care of you all the time.

However, you finally grow up and it is     3     (nature) that you want to follow your own ideas. But as you change, your parents aren’t used to a new you yet. They still regard (把……当作) you as     4     kid who always needs their help. Although you have your own ways     5     (solve) some problems, in their eyes you can do few things by yourself. And they still take it for granted (视为理所当然) that you will always depend on     6     (they) as before. In most families, this situation can cause a lot of problems between children     7     parents. It can take several     8     (year) for parents and teens to get used to their new roles. For teenagers, talking with parents is the     9     (good) way to make things easier.

    10     (share) your ideas with your parents can help you get more respect and trust from them. It makes everyone happy.

“I don’t like my parents. They always tell me what I should do and what I should not do. It often makes     1     unhappy,” said Zhang Li, a middle school student.

Do you have the same problem     2     Zhang Li? Why     3     some parents so strict? On the one hand, parents worry about things from the time you were born and they do a lot for you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you     4     and your study at school. All these things are parts of your life. Don’t blame（责怪）them. They just want you to     5     up healthily and happily.

On the     6     hand, you should introduce your     7     to your parents. Let them     8     you are making good friends. Call them if you     9     back home later than usual.     10     always argue with them. Talk about your ideas with them. You will understand them when you become a parent in the future.
