Dear Sir/Madam,
……
Yours,

Most teens can't wait to learn to drive. Not so with me. Driving made me nervous. I didn't get a license until I turned 24 years old. As a result, when I first married, we only had one car and car pooled to work. My husband's hours were different from mine by one hour. I worked earlier. So he dropped me off and went to the diner to drink coffee until work time.
Then, in the afternoons, I leisurely walked the three miles to his work place where I waited in his car, reading a book.
One day while waiting for him, I noticed the most beautiful Cadillac pull in the lot. It was powder blue and sleek looking. The kind of car you dream about. I was busily admiring the car, when I noticed the driver. Honestly, she was probably the prettiest woman I had ever seen off the movie screen.
She pulled into the spot beside our car and it was all I could do not to stare. There was a striking resemblance to Liz Taylor. Jet black hair and alabaster skin. Our eyes made contact and she smiled at me. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and teeth like an even row of pearls. She was wearing a light blue shirt that just matched her car. Peeking through her long, softly curled hair I could see gold hoop earrings. They had to be gold to shine like that. A couple of minutes later, a nice looking man came out of the building, entered her car, leaned over and kissed her and she drove away.
Sitting there in my jeans, shirt and hair in a pony tail, I wanted to cry. How could some people have it all?
Maybe I would have forgotten about her, but the following week, I saw her again. Then it became almost routine to see her about once a week. She seemed friendly and always waved, flashing a big smile. My envy lingered long after she drove away.
Many nights when sleep evaded me, I would think about the beautiful lady. I wondered if she and her husband ate out, and where they dined, and what she was wearing. I wanted her to get out of the car and let me see her full length. Did she wear really high heeled shoes and pants, or a skirt.
I would get my answers in a couple of weeks.
Sitting in our usual parking lot, I was holding my book, watching her over the top of it. She was waiting and when her husband came to the car, she called to him. They spoke a few words and he opened the car door for her to step out. He took her arm and helped her out of the car. I could see very well as she moved to get out. She was wearing a skirt.
She haltingly walked around to the passenger side very slowly, leaning on a walking cane. Sitting sideways in the car, she lifted one leg with her hands and then the other one. The beautiful lady had a prosthesis on the left leg and a brace on the right leg. I couldn't watch them drive away as the tears were blinding me. For weeks I had envied this woman and her way of life, while I had been able to walk three miles to our car!
When my husband arrived and found me crying, he immediately asked what was wrong. Through my tears, I told him about the beautiful lady. He said he knew her husband and also knew the story. The beautiful lady and her parents were in a car that either stalled or got caught on the railroad tracks and was hit by a train. Both parents were killed and she was severely injured. She was only 12 years old. The railroad made a large settlement with her because the crossing had no signals. He explained her car was specially built for her needs as well as the home.
I prayed for forgiveness all the way home. The lady I thought had everything I didn't. I realized how lucky I was to have my parents, the ability to walk, run or dance through life and many wonderful things money can't buy. I would not have traded places with the beautiful lady for anything.
When you meet a person who seems to be much better off than you, don't be fooled.

Dear Sir,
How are you? As a exchange student, I am writing to tell you I prefer to move into a single room in next term, as I find it inconvenient to share a room with others. My roommate often held parties at night, made much noise. Besides, his friends are always visiting him, that disturbs me a lot. So I hope to draw your attentions to this problem. If you think in my position, I am sure he will agree that the only solution for me is get a room of my own, one not in the same building and as near to the school campus as possible. I would be gratefully if you could do me the favor.

September is the month for fashion, with four international cities hosting Fashion Week. All eyes will turn to New York City, London, Milan and Paris this month to see which city puts on the best show.
New York
New York Fashion Week, or NYFW, kicks off on September 5th and runs for approximately eight days. NYFW is considered the most commercial and casual of the four. It is also the only event to allow some fashion school students to participate, bringing a fresh look to the runway.
London
London Fashion Week (LFW) comes on the heels of NYFW, starting on September 13th and running through September 17th. Once considered a minor player among the Big Four, LFW can now command a list of big names as well as promising new designers. London fashion houses have a reputation for being very experimental and open to new ideas.
Milan
Fashion Week moves to Milan on September 17th. This beautiful Italian city is home to some of the biggest fashion houses and designers in the fashion world, including Armani and Prada. Milan's fashion houses are known for offering glamorous (有魅力的),yet practical, options.
Paris
The chaotic month of fashion makes its way to France as Paris Fashion Week begins on September 23rd. Saving the best for last, Paris never fails to offer some of the most exciting shows of the season. World-famous labels like Chanel and Dior try to outdo one another with their latest designs. The word that best describes Paris Fashion Week is "elegant".

Today our class paid a visit a farm. Early in the morning, we met at the school gate and went there together by bus. The farm workers give us a warm welcome at the farm entrance, what moved us deeply. Then we were showing around the wonderful agricultural garden.
How happily we were to see the crops and vegetables growing well. At noon we sat and had a picnic lunch in the sunshine, sharing snacks, fruit and drinks. After a ten-minute break, we had a great fun telling jokes and story, as well as singing and dancing. Two of them even played a game of chess.
Time went by quickly. After we knew it, it was already dark because we had to leave.

Good morning, everyone! I feel greatly honored to speak here.
That's all. Thank you for listening.
Here’s a surprising fact: Of the 1.1 million firefighters in the United States, about 780,000 are volunteers. Roughly a third of the population is 41 by mostly- or all-volunteer fire departments.
Also 42 , perhaps. Sometimes they have to pay for their own gear.
I 43 this because I volunteer as a firefighter in Durango, Colorado. I responded to more than 50 calls in 2014, everything from 44 to car accidents. In that period, I spent close to $1,000 on optional gear not supplied by my 45 , things like higher-quality flashlights, knives, and better gloves, which make my 46 easier.
Yesterday, a 47 was introduced in Congress that would give a significant tax break to those who volunteer their time as 48 responders. I hope it passes, not because it will put some money in my pocket ( 49 , hey, that’ll be nice) but because it will ease the financial burden on volunteers and acknowledge their time commitment. I believe it will 50 more people to help.
And we 51 that.
In 52 areas where population density is low and calls for fire and EMS services are relatively rare, it just doesn’t 53 to have career firefighters on the staff 24/7 (全天候). 54 , volunteers are used to fill in the 55 . We are ready to put our regular lives aside to help someone on what is the 56 day of their life. We have likely never met before, and might never again, but it doesn’t 57 in a crisis. Without volunteers, the whole system would collapse.
There’s a T-shirt that’s popular among us, reading “For Pride, Not 58 .” We volunteer because we know our 59 need us. We don’t need a small tax break. Without one, we’ll still put on our gear when the alarm goes off without any 60 . But we’d appreciate one, and if it encourages more people to join us, it’s worth it.
