I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t do well in your exam and that you are very worried about your study. I quite understand how you feel now, because I have had such kind of experience before.
Failure is the mother of success. Don’t be upset. You should keep a good state of mind and try to find out the cause of failure. At the same time, make a suitable plan for study and stick to it. In this way, I am sure, you can make progress in your future study. I believe you can do well. Just believe in yourself.
I hope my letter will make you feel much better.
Yours, Li Hua

W: Oh, no. It’s five o’clock already, and I haven’t finished my homework. M: Don’t worry. That clock is fifteen minutes fast. You still have time to do it. Text 2
M: What are you doing now? I told you to go to bed early so you’d be on time for your first day of school. W: This loud chair is driving me crazy. I’m just trying to fix it. Text 3
W: Good morning, sir. Can I help you？
M: Yes. I’d like to have a single room with a bath from the morning of September 7th to the morning of October 6th. W: OK. We do have such a single room for you. Text 4
W: I hope you like the book I lent you. I wasn't sure if you'd be interested.
M: I had the same doubt at first. But once I started, I simply couldn't put it down. Text 5
W: I thought you were going to clean up in here!
M: I did! My toys are in the toy box, and all my clothes are in the closet. W: But the floor is still so dirty!

M: Did you see the new student in Miss Foley’s class, Sally? I think she’s from a poor family. W: Poor? Why would you think that?
M: She had pieces of cloth on her jeans. I’ll bet she has holes in them, and she can’t afford to buy new ones. Her mom had
to sew on the pieces of cloth to fix her old jeans.
W: Oh, no, you’re a little behind the times. That’s the fashion nowadays. Half of our class has pieces sewn on their jeans. If
her parents are really poor, we certainly will help her. M: That’s great. Anytime we should help the poor. Text 7
M: You look pale, Stephanie. What’s wrong?
W: I don’t feel good. I have a bad headache. In fact, I haven’t got much sleep this past week, and I feel really tired. M: Why don’t you go to see a doctor?
W: Yeah, I think I should. But I have a report due tomorrow. Ms. Jenkins needs it for the board meeting next Monday. M: Well, it’s Wednesday today. Why don’t you talk to Ms. Jenkins, and ask if you can hand it in on Friday morning? W: Maybe I should try. I guess I just need a good sleep. Thanks, George.
M: If you need any help with the report, just let me know. Text 8
M: Oh, no. What happened in here, Anna? Why are there some dead plants?
W: I know. Every plant comes in alive and ends up dead. I definitely do not have a green thumb.
M: People always say that, but it’s not that hard to keep house plants. What did you do to care for this one? W: That one had a big flower on it, so I put it in the sunlight.
M: This is a winter plant from north China. It doesn’t do well in direct sunlight. Just move it here. Didn’t you look up how
to care for it when you got it?
W: No. I just thought it was pretty, and it was doing OK in the shop.
M: And this one here is all yellow. That means you gave it too much water.
W: Too much water? I think if it doesn’t need the water, it doesn’t have to drink it.
M: That’s not how plants work. I’m afraid the root system under the dirt of this one is destroyed. You’d better search for
some information on the Internet. Text 9
M: Why don’t you have some cake, Sue? I made it just for this party.
W: Sorry, Bill. I’m not into cake at the moment. I thought you knew about my diet.
M: On your birthday? Surely you can eat whatever you want on your birthday. You can start your diet tomorrow. And
anyway, you look great.
W: Well, thanks, Bill. I am not on a diet to lose weight, actually. My doctor told me to stop eating certain foods. I’m trying
to avoid being allergic to something.
M: I didn’t know food could help with that. I also noticed you didn’t eat any of the sandwiches Jimmy brought. W: No, I didn’t.
M: Why not try some salad? I’m sure you’ll feel better if you eat something.
W: All right. It’s the only thing here I can eat. What I really want is some hot soup. M: Why don’t I go and get some soup from the restaurant across the street for you?
W: That’s awfully nice of you, but I’m enjoying my party. Maybe we could go afterwards.
M: O . You go back in the house and chat with the guests, and I’ll call the restaurant and tell them we’ll be there later TEXT 10
When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.
Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich in coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important

product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export. Costa Ricans also grow other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use.
Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.
Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.
