Dear Principal Becker,

I’m David Brown, a student from Grade 8. I'm sitting in the classroom to write

you this letter because I rally have something to say about the school lunchtime.

  Well,I know that school is for leaning. It is important to have 80 reading and Maths skills But I think school is also important for another reason. It helps people to learn to get along with others.

It may seem that lunchtime is not important. As you see, lots of us spend most lunchtime just talking with our fiends. But this activity is more important than it looks.I'm learning how to get along with others. I'm learning how to solve problems.

 I'm finding ou new things from others. I am learning how to say sorry. These are all important skills to learn.My problem is that the time for lunch keeps getting shorter.1 know this is happening so we can spend more time in leaning. But please do not forget that we are also learning at lunchtime. We are learning people skills.It is important that we have enough time to spend with our fiends.

I really hope that you can make our lunchtime longer. A little more time spent with friends each day would benefit everybody.

Yours

David Brown

Sometimes I really doubt(怀疑)whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money in order to pay for my brother's education and mine. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. For them,

“I love you" is too difficult to say. Even sending flowers to each other on some special

days is hardly ever seen.

One day, my mother was sewing a quit (被子) I silently sat beside her and looked at her. "Mum, may 1 ask you a question?" I said.“What?" she replied, still doing her work.“Is there love between you and Dad?" 1 asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and looked at me in surprise. She didn't answer my question at once.Then, she bowed her head and continued to do her work.

I was afraid that I had hut her feelings, I felt so embarrassed that I didn’t know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words: Look at this thread(线). Sometimes

it appears, but most of the time, it hides in the quit. The thread really makes the quilt strong durable. If life is a quit, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there.

 1 couldn't understand her until the next spring: At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously, My mother had to say with him in the hospital for s month. When they returned from the said gently. "To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mum.

 I like this kind of life." Reading his eyes I know be loves my mother deeply.

Once I thought love meant flower, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience I understand that love is just a thread in the quit of our life. Love is inside,making life strong and warm.
