Dear Mr. Taylor,

Thank you! We have received your $500 donation(捐款) to the Pine Hills Senior Center. Because of you, we can go on serving the old people.

Kathy is one of the old people in our center. She was always sad after her husband died in an accident. Because of you, this year will be different for her. We will have a worker to look after her every day and cheer her up. Your $500 donation makes it possible for us to do that.

Last year, you helped us plant a garden with vegetables. Most old people tell us that it is their favorite place in our center. They work in the garden with some college students, and once a week they pick fresh vegetables from the garden and give a dinner for those volunteers. We hope you will join us soon for our weekly dinners. Kathy will be glad to cook tomato soup for you.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Yours,

　　　　　　　　　　　 Mary McHill

Dear Linda,

I’m really glad to receive your letter. You said you were learning to cook. Is it interesting? I think if you want to keep healthy, food is very important. You’ll be in good health if you try different kinds of foods, especially vegetables and fruit. I eat them every day.

You asked me how to make a milk shake. There are many different kinds of milk shakes, such as apple milk shake, banana milk shake and carrot milk shake. Carrot milk shake is my favorite, because carrots and milk are both good for health. Before starting, we need a carrot, a glass of milk, some ice and two teaspoons of honey. Of course, you need a blender.

Now, let’s start. First, wash the carrot and cut it up. Next, put the carrot, the milk, some ice and two teaspoons of honey into the blender. Then turn on the blender. Keep it working for only one minute. Finally, pour the carrot shake in a glass and drink it. It’s delicious!

I want to learn how to make Chinese food, for example, dumplings. Could you teach me?

Write soon!

Yours,

Sally
