Dear Julia,
Thank you for the Chinese words, I have tried to say them    46  .We have had some snow in February but now the weather is getting warmer. Some festivals in England are Easter and Christmas.
Easter is next week. At Easter we give people chocolate eggs that represents birth.   47  The daffodils are yellow and they look like the sun. At Easter we celebrate the birth of lambs and baby chickens and other animals.   48  Children believe in the Easter bunny, which is a rabbit that goes from house to house delivering chocolate eggs.
49   At Christmas we give people presents and have decorations around the house. Christmas is celebrated because of the birth of Jesus. Children believe in Santa Claus, which is a man who goes from house to house delivering presents to all the children. I can't teach you any English because you are very good at the language already.   50   Hello: Hola; Goodbye: Adios; My name is Helen: Mi llamo Helen; My name is Julia: Mi llamo Julia; Thank you: Gracias.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes!
Love from Helen
Also we get a lot of flowers in Spring, daffodils and lilies are the  
main flowers for Easter.
Easter is also a time to think about Jesus waking up from the dead. 
C.  So I can tell you a bit of Spanish.
D. Spanish is better than English.
E.  Christmas is in December.
F  but it is quite hard!

Life is often compared to a diary. As Barrie said: We begin by resolving to write one thing and end by writing something very different. However, to be more exact, life is much more like a growing plant. Whether we like it or not, it is the stem (葉柄) that holds the plant;  71 .
Some people say, “Let by-gones be by-gones.” This is especially the case for misanthropes (厭惡與人交往的人) who hate to recall their past events.  72 ; they hate everything—perhaps themselves, too. In times of loneliness, instead of enriching their minds by enjoying their happy memories, they blame this world for being cold. Yet we may have something very funny in the past. Why not warm up your coldness by recalling them?
Some time ago, I went boating with my two friends. Having rented a sampan, we set out. The weather was dull and unfavorable, and the wind, singing in our ears, set off the waves which uplifted the boat and let it go.  73 . Without a moment’s hesitation I laid down the oars to catch it, but I failed. I tried again and it ran away. When the third time my two friends came to my help, the boat was out of balance with us all on one side. The boat turned over. The jellyfish which we were so anxious to catch a few minutes ago now floated towards us. But this time we tried our best to get away from it and landed on the bottom of the boat.  74 . Though drunk with water I felt very happy as that was the first adventure in my life, and I really enjoyed it.
I always like to sit quietly in one corner of my room, recalling past events, and laughing secretly to myself. Happy memories can delight you when you are moody and can encourage you when you are in difficulties.  75 .

A．They hate their fellow men

B．Encouraging one’s minds sometimes brings more trouble

C．Loneliness and coldness offers some people bad memories of the past

D．besides, it is our past

E. Yes, too much in it can certainly cause harm
F. Suddenly I saw a jellyfish floating on the surface
G. Fortunately, my two friends, experts in boating, managed to turn it back

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home. His name was Kyle. He was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd(書呆子).” So I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw some kids running at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I handed him his glasses. He said, “Thanks!” There Was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived, It turned out he lived near me, so I asked him why! had never seen him before. He said he had gone to a private school before coming to this school. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home. He turned a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Graduation day arrived. Kyle was valedictorian of our class, so he had to prepare a speech for graduation. In his speech he said. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. I am going to tell you a story.” I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day We met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.” I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.

I am also the publisher of the Effortless English Online Newsletter, which has over half a million subscribers(用戶) (and growing every day).

I created the Effortless English Teaching System after many years of teaching English in universities. My former students include business professionals, scientists, teachers, professors, graduate students, and many other successful adult English learners. These students were just like you. They were frustrated English learners who could not speak well. Using the Effortless English system, they learned to speak English easily and automatically.
Each of these students made incredible improvements in a very short time. You also will improve quickly when you use the entire Effortless English System. The Effortless English System is designed for you——the independent adult learner. Effortless English focuses exclusively on speaking and listening skills. The system is designed to improve your speaking power as quickly as possible——using proven and tested methods.

When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand French. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice and easy holiday without any language problems.
How wrong I was! The misunderstandings began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Daisy a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.
"Yes, "I said, "I want to give my friend a ring. "
"Well, that's nice, "he said. "Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?"
"Who is talking about marriage?" I replied. "I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived. Can you tell me where there's a phone box?"
"Oh! "he said. "There's a phone downstairs. "
When at last we met, Daisy explained the misunderstanding to me.
"Don't worry, "she said to me. "I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You' ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other!"
