How are you? I’m fine. I have some exciting news! I have moved to a new house in the countryside. It is very peaceful here. The house has five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a huge kitchen. I love it much more than my old flat in the city.
The weather is very cold here. Yesterday, I went skiing on the mountain slopes(山坡) with my friends Tom and Payton. Tom is an excellent skier but Payton and I are still in the beginner group. We had great fun and after that, we drank hot chocolate beside an open fire.
Your mum told me that you are coming to visit me for Christmas. It’s only half a month away, but I can’t wait to see you and show you my new house. Besides, there are lots of fun things to do here in winter like skiing, ice skating, ice fishing and having snowball fights. I can take you ice fishing. It’s amazing! It is my favourite thing to do now in my free time.
Can you do me a favour(帮我个忙), please? Can you bring me some photos of Hong Kong? I miss my friends and family there. See you soon!

【推荐2】Two students from the same school are talking about their ideas about the future.
*Gemma Lyons, 15
Job: I’m not interested in going to university when I leave high school, but I’m not going to work in an office or a shop. I’ll get a job outdoors if I can. I like working with plants, so I’ll probably look for a job as a gardener.
Home: One day I’ll get a house of my own. I enjoy my life in this small English town.
*Nick Sanderson, 16
Job: I think I’ll study science at university. For me, it’s more interesting than history, languages and everything. I’d like to get a job that helps the environment. There’s a lot of competition for jobs like that, but I think I can make it.
Home: I’ll probably share a house with other students at university. After that, I’m not sure where I’ll live, maybe here in the UK, or maybe in other countries, such as Japan and Canada. China will be my top choice if I can work and live abroad.

【推荐3】All through the winter, the Esquimaux(爱斯基摩人) live in houses made of snow. These small houses are very clean and white when they are new. They can soon turn dirty, but pieces of fresh snow make them new again. Sometimes the Esquimaux build their small houses with the wood that they find along the seaside.
However, they aren’t always so lucky. When they can’t get wood, they use the snow. It is so cold that the snow becomes very hard, so the small houses are strong enough in the whole winter. The windows of these houses are not made of glass, but of ice.
When the warm weather comes, the houses become water slowly. The Esquimaux get wet as they lie in bed, and often catch a cold. They are glad to get away from the small snow houses and live in their tents during the summer.

I’m sorry that I can’t go back home for Mother’s Day next week. On that day, I’ll have to go to an important meeting for my boss, who helps me a lot with my work and life here. But I’ll find time to see you at home soon.
Mom, thank you for everything you’ve done for Tim and me. After Dad died ten years ago, you had to work in a supermarket in the daytime and in a restaurant at night. But you always gave us two your love and care. Though you don’t have to work now, I still remember you coming home and feeling tired many evenings.
Tim is going to finish his studies next month. He said he would move back from school and look for a job near home. I’m glad you won’t live by yourself anymore. Let’s plan to take a trip in the near future. It’s been years since the three of us took a trip together.
Happy Mother’s Day! I love you, Mom.
Best wishes,
John
