Dear Sandra,

       You’ll never guess where I’m writing this email. A cave! You know we’re on holidays in Spain. Well, we spend a few days in Barcelona first. We had a good time there, though one day I didn’t feel very good. I think I ate too much ice cream the day before. Anyway, when I left Barcelona, we came to spend a few days in Granada. However, we couldn’t get a hotel — too many tourists and not enough bed! Then the hotel owner said, “Why don’t try the cave hotels?” We thought he were joking. Living in caves? But there we are and it’s wonderful. We’re enjoying it much that we don’t know when we’re going to leave. We’re never going to have enough time to explore for everything.

       Take care!

       My uncle buys a satellite dish, which is a large round piece of metal that receives satellite television. He decided to set up himself. He climbed up the ladder and attached the dish with the side of his houses. After he finishing, he and my aunt relaxed for the evening in front of the TV. The next day was very much hot, and they decided to stay at home and watch TV. That afternoon they heard lots of shouting outside. When they went outside, they saw that the house opposite were on fire. Fortunately, the fire was putting out. It turned out that the fire had started because my uncle’s satellite dish had been concentrating the sun’s rays on the curtains of her neighbor’s house but had caused the fire.

       Christmas is supposed to be a time express our love and goodwill towards others. It is supposed to be a time which we perform acts of kindness for people less fortunate to ourselves. But do we think of the other people when we sat down to our Christmas dinner? Of course not — we’re too busy eating those delicious foods related with Christmas. We are too busy wondering that the presents we gave were as nice or better than the one we received. They forget to think of the sick and the homeless. The whole idea of Christmas has complete changed. What a shame!

       A thief broke into our house and filled his bag by our possessions when he suddenly feeling a pair of eyes on him. Looking up, he sees an eagle staring at him with cold, merciless eyes. At first the man was too frightening to move, but after ten minute he tried moving quietly towards the door. Therefore, the eyes just followed him and he couldn’t move. Eventually, my parents returned to and found the thief in our house. When my father turned the light, the thief could see that the eagle was just a toy. But it was too late and she was arrested. My father said that the toy eagle were better than any watchdog.

       Nowadays more and more students were found cheating in exams. Some copy from each other; some copy from their text books, reference books or prepared note; others use modern communication tool such as mobile phones. Cheating in exams will cause some worse effects. For one thing, it will result unfair competition and destroy the creativity of bright students. For another, students who often cheats in exams will develop bad habits and won’t be able to meet the needs of society in the future. So how can cheating in exams be stopped? On my opinion, severe punishments should be put into the effect to prevent students from cheating. At the same time, great efforts should be made to make students understood what kind of person society needs or try to build up their honesty.

       My friend Jake is eighteen years old and lives in a small village, not far with the city of Nottingham. He grew up in this village, so he knows everyone here. But he feels boring in the village. At the moment, he travels Nottingham every day to the shop where he works. This is a bus at 7:30 in the morning and the latest bus back in the evening is at 5:30. From the September, however, he’s going to stay in Nottingham with his aunt and uncle when his cousin join the Navy. He can use his cousin’s room. He’s really looking forward to live in Nottingham. He’ll be able to go out with his friends in the evening and he doesn’t have to get up earlier in the morning to catch the bus.

       Last night, our neighbor visited my family and complained for the noise from our home at night. We feel very sorry to cause so much trouble. I explained why my parents fixed our kitchen at night because we worked all day and only came back home in the evening. What’s more, they fixed the kitchen by themselves because the high cost of workers. Since my parents are not professional, so it took them a long time to fix it. Considering the noise and trouble the neighbor were having, my parents decided to hire some workers to fix our kitchens on the weekend. We promised we would finish the work as soon as possibly. At last, we expressed our shame again and the neighbor forgiving us.
