My two little daughters and I usually go out and help others on Thankful Thursday. Last Thursday, we were going to buy lunch for the beggars (乞丐) in the street. Then we went to the nearest KFC. I ordered 15 lunches from it and drove my car to hand them out. We gave the lunches to the beggars. They were excited. We were happy to see that. Then we noticed a small, old woman, asking for pocket money. We gave her our last lunch bag. Before we got into the car, she started to speak to us. “No one has done anything like this for me before,” she said with a smile. “Well, I’m glad that we were the first,” I answered. “So, when will you eat your lunch?” I asked. She just looked at me with her big, tired brown eyes and said, “Oh, dear, I’m not going to eat this lunch. You see, I have a little daughter. I usually can’t buy her favourite food, but today she will be so happy!” I don’t know if the kids noticed the tears in my eyes. I have asked many times whether our actions of kindness were too small to change anything. Yet at that moment, I realized the truth of words: We cannot do great things-only small things with great love.

Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries (秘密). Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
For many years, historians (历史学家) believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.
Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial (埋葬) place or a place to honor ancestors (祖先). Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working-and great planners!”

Dear Mum and Dad，
I promised to write，so...
We're staying with Lingling's uncle in Hunan Province, and I'm having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It's a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It's very large, about 480 square kilometres. It's famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.
Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard a noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling's uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.
This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp. I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling's uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.
Tomorrow we're going to Dongting Lake, the second-largest lake in China.
We'll be back home next week! Wish you were here!
Love，
Betty
