An English traveler found himself in Norway with only enough money to buy the ticket for him to go back home. As he knew that it would take him only two days to get to England, he decided that he could easily spend the time without food. So he bought a ticket and got on the ship.

The next morning he still didn't have breakfast and at lunchtime he again stayed in his room. But at dinnertime he was so hungry that he went to the dinning room and ate everything the waiter put in front of him. He got ready for the quarrel (争执).

Dear Jenny,
I’m so worried when I see that you’re not a little tired and nervous about the coming College Entrance Examination; Here is some advices to help you prepare the coming exam. Have enough sleep, whatever much work you have to do，or you’ll feel sleepy on an occasion in class. A balanced diet will certainly help a lot. Having more fresh fruit and vegetables every day are good for you. Which you know, a proper method of learning will enable you to learn more and faster. To get better results, that is wise to be attentive and make every effort to gain knowledge. And you were supposed to review your notes taking down after class every day. Always remember to stay happily and optimistic so that you can be energetic while doing the revision. I hope you’ll no longer feel tired and nervous.
Best wishes.
