Dear Sir, 
     As a middle school teacher and a mother of two children, I think your article on children and TV is very
interesting. (1) However, my views on the subject are a bit difference from yours. For years, many writers
have criticized (批評) TV programmes. Often, they don't think about television as a positive learning tool. I
________(use) TV in my classroom for years, and it has helped make learning a much more interesting
experience for my young students.
     In my opinion, TV can be helpful to young students. When it is used in the right way, it can even speed
up the learning process. I use TV programmes to teach Geography, Science and even reading. My students'
higher test marks prove that this method is working. Both of my children love watching the TV programme
Sesame (芝麻) Street and they are now among the top students in their school. (2) These types of programmes
help students learn basic language skills like the alphabet, and how to counting. They can also teach children
things like sharing,________ (protect) environment and caring about others. I think it's time to stop criticizing
TV, and focus on its amazing use for learning.

     When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend for new clothes. Think about
the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale (出售).
     There are labels (標簽) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The
label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash by washing in
cold water. The label on a coat may say "dry clean only". Washing may ruin (損壞) this coat. If you do as
the directions on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best. Many clothes today must be dry-
cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry-cleaned.
You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.
     You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look

made. They do not always fit better.
