【推荐1】Dear Linda,

Your brother sounds like a very selfish person. But I want to know what causes him to act this way. Since he seems to be doing this on purpose, maybe the only way to do with the problem is to try to find the cause.

I think your brother is probably hurt in some way. Perhaps he feels unsafe because he is not a full part of the family. He could be displeased with your mother’s love for the rest of you over him.

It is wrong to fight anger with anger though you think it is a need to help your mother. I suggest you try to help your brother by treating him with more care and love. It must be hard for him to grow up in a family where his sisters have their real mother but he doesn’t. Try to let him know that you care about him. With time he may come to know how lucky he is and start to treat you all with the same kindness that you give him.

Yours Truly,

Sue Clarke

MAYPOLE (五朔节花柱) DANCE

On the first day of May, English villagers used to wake up early in the morning to collect flowers and leaves. A maypole was set up in the village.

MAY QUEEN (女王)

Choosing a May Queen is also part of the celebration. The May Queen is a girl who begins the May Day celebrations. She is usually given flowers to wear on her head and she makes a speech before the dancing begins. People dance around her and around the maypole.

【推荐3】Dear President,

Remember the boy who was picked up by the ambulance (急救车) in Syria? Can you please go to get him and bring him to our home?

Park in the driveway or on the street and we will be waiting for you guys with flags, flowers, and balloons. We will give him a family and he will be our brother. Catherine, my little sister, will be collecting butterflies and fireflies for him.

Please tell him that his brother will be Alex who is a very kind boy, just like him. Since he won’t bring toys and doesn’t have toys, Catherine will share her big blue stripy white bunny (a word for a rabbit, used especially by or to children). And I will share my bike and I will teach him how to ride it. I will teach him additions and subtractions (加减法) in math. And he can try on Catherine’s favourite watch, which she doesn’t let anyone touch.

Thank you very much! I can’t wait for you to come!
