Dear Jim ,

I had a strange experience last night .It was unusually dark .I noticed a light in my back garden and walked to the door to take a look .A UFO had landed in my garden and opened it’s door ! I couldn’t believe my eyes .An alien was walking down the stairs of the UFO .He walked up to me and said ,”Now ,I’m taking you to a new place ” With that ,he led me into the UFO and we flew to the Moon and then to Mars .Just as I began to enjoy the ride ,the alien brought out a torch .All of a sudden ,a strong beam shone in my eyes .I had to keep my eyes shut to avoid the light. Guess what ? It was sunlight shining on my bed .What a dream !

Yours truly

Page 28 (課時訓練)

I have recently made a survey among 30 boys and 30 girls in my class about their purpose(s) of surfing the Internet .The girls’ favorite is chatting ,but few boys like it .What the boys like to do most is playing games ,and the girls also like it .Both boys and girls like to read news or send e-mails on the Internet .Maybe they think it’s the most convenient way to get information or keep in touch with friends .As for studying ,the numbers of boys and girls are equal ,but altogether only several of them will use Internet as a tool to study.

Yours sincerely,

Jim Lee
