Dear Sir,
I’m Li Hua from Shenzhen. When I was reading the ad, the aim of this activity impresses me greatly. I think instructive to learn to live together by living together. There is no doubt that it is a good opportunity for the only child as me to learn to share and work together. Therefore I recommend me to you without hesitation.
As a boy of 17, I am outgoing, good at English and have an experience of working well with children aging from 7 to 12. I think it was a kind of win-win activity. For one thing, I can help take care of the children. For another thing, I can improve my English, make more friend, and enrich my life during the summer vacation. To conclude, I am readily to take on the job.
I am looking forwards to your early reply.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua

Create Beauty Yourself
In itself life is neutral (中立的). We make it beautiful, we make it ugly; life is what energy we bring to it.
1. If you simply sit there and you want it to be beautiful, then it will not be --- you have to create beauty. Beauty is not there like an object or a rock. Beauty has to be created. You have to give a sight to reality, you have to give color to reality, you have to give a song to reality --- then it is beautiful.
So whenever you participate in creating beauty, it is there; whenever you stop creating, it is not. 2. Happiness is a creation; so is misery. You get only that which you create, and you never get anything else. That is the whole philosophy of karma: 3.
Life is just a blank cloth---you can paint a beautiful scene, or you can paint black ghosts (鬼) and dangerous people. 4. You can make a beautiful dream or a bad dream.
Once this is understood, things are very simple. You are the master; it is your responsibility. Ordinarily we think that life has some objective beauty and objective ugliness.5. It gives you all that is needed: Now do it yourself! It is a do-it-yourself affair.
A. You get only that which you do.
B. What is beauty?
C. If you pour beauty into life, it is beautiful.
D. It's up to you.
E. No! Life is just an opportunity.
F. Life is not what you think it is.
G. Beauty is a creation; so is ugliness.
Four out of the 48 self-driving cars on public roads in California have been involved in accidents in the last eight months, according to the state's Department of Motor Vehicles.
The agency began issuing permits for the testing of self-driving vehicles in September 2014.
Three of the four cars belonged to Google, the fourth to parts supplier Delphi.
Both firms denied their vehicles had been at fault.
Under Californian law, details of car accidents remain secret.
However, Google said its driverless cars had never been the cause of an accident and that the majority of "minor fender-benders(擦撞)" had been in the form of rear-end(后尾) collisions from other drivers.
"Safety is our highest priority. Since the start of our programme six years ago, we've driven nearly a million miles automatically, on both freeways and city streets, without causing a single accident," said a spokesperson.
Delphi told the BBC its vehicle was hit while still at a crossroads and was in human driving mode at the time.
"A police report indicates the fault of the accident is with the second vehicle, not Delphi. No-one was hurt in the incident," said a spokesperson.
An unknown source told the Associated Press that two of the accidents occurred while the vehicles were occupied by human drivers, and all four vehicles were going very slowly at the time of the collisions.
Chris Urmson, director of Google's self-driving car programme, wrote in a blog post that there have been 11 accidents involving Google cars since the project began six years ago but not one has been caused by one of its vehicles.
"Rear-end crashes are the most frequent accidents in America, and often there's little the driver in front can do to avoid getting hit," he said.
