Doris has written a restaurant review on the Internet
Excellent English food at the Country House
Last Saturday night, my family and I ate at the Country House.
The Country House serves traditional English food. We paid about 15 to20 pounds a person to eat there.
The food was wonderful. The fish pie reminded me of my grandma. She used to cook it for me. I also had some fish and chips, and it was fantastic.
The waiters were polite, but a little slow. We were our food until 7:40 p.m.
I would certainly recommend (推荐) the County House for good, tradition English food. However, you should get there early and be prepared l0 spend a lot of time waiting for your food.

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle(奇迹) can save him now.” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman.
“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry.” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard this and asked, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man. “$1.11, but I can try and get some more.” she answered. “Well, what luck ,”smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a miracle for your little brother.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said , “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

My family and I have just returned from a family reunion(团聚). Six years ago, my aunt and uncle decided to move to Los Angeles. I was still young when they left so I did not remember them very well. Since moving, they have had two children, a boy and a girl. It was my chance to get to know my family and meet my cousins for the first time.
My uncle now works in the film business. His job is to translate(翻译) English dialogue into Chinese. Nowadays it is quite common for some American films to have some parts with Chinese. We had some really enjoyable days in Los Angeles. We went to the beach a few times and went on a tour of a film studio.
However, the best part of the trip was learning about my family. I could not believe how similar we all are. It is easy to tell we are a part of the same family. My dad and uncle have a lot in common. They are quite short, like making jokes about their hair loss(缺失), and really enjoying eating seafood.
My mum and aunt are both quite tall with curly hair, and are interested in Beijing Opera and going for long walks. Even my cousin Sunny and I are similar! We both have big eyes and long, straight hair. We like playing the same games and we are all scared of spiders! Also, we both find maths too difficult but are quite good at speaking English. I am so glad we had the Chance to visit Los Angeles. I hope they can visit China in the near future.

Peter
I went out with a group of friends yesterday. We saw a lady lying in the street. She looked very sick. My friends made jokes about her and laughed. Though I wanted to help her, my friends told me not t0. It was awful of them to laugh at her, and I regret not saying anything. I feel ashamed of myself. What should I do in this situation?
Dear Peter
I believe you’ve learnt an important lesson --- you’ll regret it if you don’t do the right thing at the right moment. Next time in the same situation, you should make up your own mind. You shouldn’t listen to your friend. It was awful of them to laugh at a sick lady.

I have to share a room with my seven-year old sister, and she's driving me mad! She has a habit of playing the piano when I' m studying, and she always takes my things without telling me. I try to keep the room tidy, but she always makes a mess. I love my sister, but sometimes she's so annoying! What should I do?
Dear Julie
You should talk 100 your sister more. Ask her to play the piano only when you’re not studying. Let her borrow your things only if she as you frt. Perhaps she just wants more attention from you. Try spending some time with her every day and you’ll learn how 10 live happily with each other.
