2 . Dear Lucy

How are you? It has been a month since my family left Hong Kong for England and we are fine.

England is very different from Hong Kong. The weather is terrible and it rains a lot. The buildings are funny. They are in rows and not high. I love them because the rooms are much larger. I’m having a wonderful at my new school and my new home!

Mum and Dad are happy with their new jobs. But my brother Jack doesn’t like moving to England because he misses his friends so much.

I’ve made lots of new friends at school. My teachers are really nice too and my English has improved a lot. After school, we can take part in relaxing activities such as sport, watching films or playing computer games. There’s a park near the school where I often go with the other students at the weekend.

We are travelling back to Hong Kong for the summer holiday. I will visit you and bring you a present!

Write back soon!

Love
Sandy

On the fourth Thursday of every November, most Americans get together around the dinner table to celebrate Thanksgiving Special traditions in the US have been around for many years.    1     These are four popular Thanksgiving traditions and how they started.    2    The first Thanksgiving meal was in the autumn of 1621 when the first travelers from England celebrated their first harvest(收获). But it wasn't made into an official (官方的) holiday until 1863. The first large meal had turkey, fruits and vegetables, which are still common today.

    3     Historians say the first travelers invited Native Americans(美洲印第安人)to the meal to thank them for teaching them how to grow food. Today at the large meal, friends and family will also say what they are most thankful for.

    4     The parade(游行)includes very large balloons that look like cartoon characters and beautiful floats(花车)that carry famous people. There are also many musical performances to watch. This parade started in l924，and today over 44 million people watch it on TV or in New York City.

    5    People started to watch football on Thanksgiving a few years after the day became an official holiday. Today, the National Football League takes advantage of this popularity and hosts three NEL games every Thanksgiving.

A．Giving thanks is what the holiday is all about.

B．American football is something people both watch and play with their family on Turkey Day.

9 . The film Dinosaur Island? I went with my younger brother Dave to see it last Friday. I had a great time, but he didn't. He closed (闭上) his eyes in many parts because the dinosaurs (恐龙) looked so real and he didn't laugh once. I thought the story was really exciting. I'd like to buy the DVD and watch it at home again. The beginning and the ending were excellent!

 — George

I saw the advertisement (广告) for the film Dinosaur Island on TV. It looked great but it wasn't as good as I hoped. I loved the beginning but the second half was boring, I think. I wouldn't go and see it again. I like films about teenagers (青少年) and their lives much more. I think those are funnier. I also like reading books about teenagers. I'd like to be a writer and write for teenagers one day.

 — Robert

I didn't want the film Dinosaur Island to end because I liked it so much! I read this story before I saw the film. I usually enjoy the books more, but this time was  “ __▲___”. I really loved the film! I enjoyed feeling afraid and I laughed a lot in some parts of the film too. I read all about how they made the dinosaurs on the Internet after I went to see it. I think most young people will love seeing this film!
