Dear Estelle, Saturday, 5th June
I hope you' re well and not working too hard! I' ve been revising for my exams now for the last two weeks. That' s why I haven' t written for such a long time.
Since the beginning of this year we' ve been doing a project called ' World Class'. Have you heard of it.'? Not everyone in the class could take part, but luckily I could. The school chooses a 'twin school' (姊妹学校) in a different area of the world. Our head teacher chose a school in Uganda. They gave us someone to write to from that school. For three months, I've written to a girl called Louisa, who is the same age as me.
It' s been more interesting to hear about her life. She' s told me all about her school and described her daily (日常的) life. I can' t believe that her School doesn' t. have any electricity. She goes to 'school from eight o' clock in the morning until six. O’clock. in the evening. I can' t believe how lucky we are here! She' s also told me that she often can' t go to school because she has to look after her baby brother and sister. She’s tried to teach me some of her language and it' s really difficult.
I love it because it' s the first time I' ve thought about what life must be like somewhere else. I can' t believe people miss classes here when everything is so easy for us. I think more people should help out with projects like this. At the weekend we' re going to have a sports day to help raise money to send to the school. Perhaps one day I'll be able to go to Uganda and meet Louisa myself--who knows?
Lots of 1ove,
Suzanne

Life is not easy, so I' d like to say "When anything happens, believe in yourself. "
When I was a young boy, I was so shy to talk to anyone that my classmates 17 laughed at(嘲笑) me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, 18 happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest (比赛). My 19 asked me to take part in it. What a 20 idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school.
" 21 , boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win the contest. " Then Mother and I talked about many different topics. 22 I chose the topic "Believe in yourself", I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it 23 100 times. With the help of my mother, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe myself when the 24 came that I had won the first place; I heard the cheers from the teachers and the students. Those classmates who once looked down on me, now all 25 "Congratulations!" to me. My mother hugged (拥抱) me and cried excitedly.
Since then, everything has changed for me. 26 I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure and I will find myself. This is not only for a person but also for a country.
