Dear Li Lei,
I hope you are well. Thank you for your letter. You said "Happy Spring Festival!" so it is spring in China now! Here in Australia it is nearly autumn, his beginning to get colder. But it never gets really cold here.
You asked me when it was the best time to go to Australia. Australians will tell you anytime is a good time! Many people think the best time is in summer. It gets very hot at that time of year. Some people say it gets too hot. But I like summer best.
In summer I go swimming in the sea nearly every day. It's great. Swimming is very popular in Australia. The sea is very blue and very beautiful. Some people swim in the sea all the year round. But I don't swim in July and August. I think the sea is too cold.
All the best,
John
Ann was ill. She went to see a doctor. The doctor asked her to1her tongue (舌头), and then he said, "OK. You can put your tongue back now. There's2wrong with you, but I'm afraid you have a problem, you never do3"
"But, doctor," Ann said, "I don't think so."
"Don't4me what you think," the doctor said, "I see a lot of people5you. None of them get any exercise. They sit in offices all day and in front of the TV in the evening. You must walk quickly for at least 20 minutes a day."
"Doctor, you don't understand," Ann said, "I take enough exercise every day."
"I don't want to6any excuses," the doctor said, "You must spend time 7 exercise, if you don't, you will get8 and have health problems."
"But I walk every day." Ann said.
"Oh, yes, and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk9meters to the bus stop from your house, from the bus stop to your office, and from your office to your dining-room for lunch and back. That's not a real walk. I'm talking about a walk by the lake or in the park for 20 minutes every day."
"Would you please 10 me, doctor?" Ann said, "I'm a postwoman. I walk for nearly seven hours every day."
For a moment the doctor was silent, then he said, "Can I see your tongue again?"
—__________ Mum, let's go to the movies tomorrow.

Every single one of us can help to deal with climate change and prepare for the effects.
We all have an effect
on the environment through our use of resources (资源) and burning fossil fuels for everyday activities such as driving cars and heating our homes. If we all do our best to protect our environment, then we can make a real difference.
Consider the environmental effects of:
1 the energy used in your home
2 the way you travel
3 the food you eat
Do everything you can to reduce your carbon footprint (足迹) and not only will you be making fewer effects on the environment, but you511 probably find that you'll also save money and lead a healthier life.
Increasing water efficiency in your home reduces the amount of energy used for water treatment and can save money and fight against climate change at the same time.
Other things you can do
Here's a list of some simple things you can do that will help reduce your carbon footprint:
1 insulate (使隔热) your home
2 turn down your central heating by one degree (度数)
3 use energy efficient lighting
4 try not to fly
5 share a car with others
6 ride your bike for short journeys
7 eat local, seasonal, fresh, unprocessed (未加工的) food
8 reduce the amount of waste you produce and reuse or recycle as much as you can

⑴Dave: My hat is lost. I want to buy a new one.
⑵Jim: I like tennis but I don't know how to play it.
⑶Jane: I lost my watch at school.
⑷Jenny: I love dogs. I want to have a dog.
⑸Peter: I like watching basketball games.
— _________!
We will plant more trees the air around us fresher.
— I flew a kite with my cousin in the park.
The biggest thing we can do to help endangered animals is to take care of our world. Maybe tigers and leopards(豹) don't live where you do, but many animals do. They need protection. We can protect animals by taking care of our environment.
Recycle. We need to make sure that we are recycling plastic, tins(罐), and paper so that wewon't use up our world's natural resources(资源). Every time paper is made, or a bottle is made, resources from our earth are used. Some of these resources are found where animals live, and to get them, we need to disrupt the animals' living places.
Reduce. By reducing what we use, we can also protect our earth. One way to do this is to write on both sides of a piece of paper. Also, when you leave a room, turn off the lights.
Reuse. We should also choose things that can be reused, like a reusable water bottle, rather than a prepackaged(预制并包装好的) water bottle. By using reusable bottles for our water rather than buying bottled water, we prevent many of our resources from being used up. Another example is touse towels, rather than paper towels.
Plant a tree. Many animals use trees for protection or even food. All big trees began as smalltrees. The only way to make sure that there are going to be big trees in the future is that there are small trees today. You can achieve this by planting trees in your neighborhood.
① Don't throw away plastic products directly.
② Try to use things that can be used again and again.
③ Raise money to help endangered animals.
④ Stop eating all kinds of meat.
⑤ Plant as many trees as we can.
