Dear Tony，

How are you? Thanks very much  1  your last letter．I’ve finished all my exams．The last one was history yesterday．I think history is really difficult  2  there are lots of facts and dates to remember．I have a poor memory and I hate to remember things．I’m afraid I didn’t  3  the examination．

This term，I took eight  4  in total（總計(jì)）．The worst were history and French．I found them boring and hard to learn．I’ve already forgotten most  5  teachers taught me．I need to study  6  than before．

I liked geography best，but we only had it  7  a week．Our geography teacher．Mr. Hill，was great．He taught us very  8  ．He didn’t give us too much homework   

We did a project with Mr. Hill about a few countries in Europe and Asia．Some of my classmates went to the library to  9  for photos and I used the Internet to search for（查找）some information．Mr. Hill gave us a lot of  10  advice．We could finish our report easily．

Please write and tell me about your year at school．

Yours，

David

A year ago，I paid no attention to English idioms (習(xí)語), though my teacher told us the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.

One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised. Gently shaking his head，shrugging his shoulders, he said，“You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought , perhaps this is not a right topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted (打斷) again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’？” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” I realized I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.

 Dear Sir or Madam,

Last Thursday, I traveled on the 8:00 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was quite angry about the service of your station.

The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow. A man at the station said sorry to us, but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay (誤點(diǎn)). We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes. So I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.

What’s more (更重要的是), the service on the train was quite poor. The trip took more than five hours. Unluckily, we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all, something was wrong with the air conditioning and it got hotter and hotter in the train. Before we arrived in King’s Cross, the temperature was over 40℃.

Because of your poor service, I think you should pay me compensation (賠償).

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours, David Robertson
