Dear God,

This is Charles. I’m twelve. I’m typing this letter. Sometimes it’s hard for me to write. It’s a disease called dysgraphia. I also have learning disabilities, but my IQ was tested at 140.

I could never hold a pencil in the right way. My brain doesn’t sense what my hand is doing. I can feel the pencil, but the message doesn’t get through right. I have to hold the pencil tighter so that my brain knows I have it in my hand.

It’s much easier for me to explain things by talking than writing. There are so many things I can picture in my mind, but my hands just can’t draw it the way I see it.

It’s OK. I’m not complaining. I’m really doing fine. You see, you gave me a wonderful mind and a great sense of humor. I’m great at figuring things out, and I love to debate. We have some great discussions in class, and that’s where I really shine.

I want to be a lawyer when I grow up. I know I’d be good at it. You have told me that you made me special. You make me believe that you will see me through, and that you have plans for me to give me a future and hope. My parents want to help me, so they buy me a laptop. My teacher is the best this year! I am allowed to do a lot of my work on the computer.

Life’s hard sometimes, but I accept the challenge. Thanks for loving me. Thanks for everything.

Charles

Dear All，

Happy New Year! A list of important dates for this term is attached to this letter．

Interviews for our April and September Primary One classes will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday，18th&19th January．Now is the time to apply for admission to Peak School．

Children are expected to wear their uniforms this term．As is usual at this time of the year，mornings at the school are quite cold and l would suggest children wear their sweaters to school．As the temperature goes up during the day，children tend to take off their outer clothes，so it is important that all sweatshirts are labeled(贴有标签)．

I have received a few requests from parents asking if their children can wear summer uniforms this term．I am of the view that all children in the school should follow the school policy and be dressed in the appropriate uniforms．In the longer term，a number of US at school have questioned the need to have a winter and summer uniform．Perhaps．with careful consideration，we can develop a uniform that will serve children for the whole academic year．

As the foggy(多雾)mornings start to appear，a number of parents have raised concerns over the safety of those children who walk to school．　 Our dark green uniforms are not particularly visible to motorists．Hopefully, the “Uniform Committee” to be set up this term will deal with this particular issue．I will keep parents informed of the channels through which views may be expressed in future newsletters．

We still have a “No Hat，No Play” rule on the playground，so children need to ensure that they have their sunhats in school at all times．

Yours sincerely，

P D Tunesi

Principal

Dear Abby,

This is my first letter to you, although I have been reading your column for many years. I need an outside opinion.

I am a grandmother in my 70s and have just returned from visiting my daughter, her husband and their three dearly loved children--all under the age of 5--and I'm upset with some of their parenting ways.

For example: They lock the doors to their children's bedrooms at night because the children might get out of their beds and wander around the house, and we may not hear them."

If one child should get punishment, all three are punished, and if one child says a naughty

word, all three are given hot sauce (辣酱汁) in the mouth. I know these parents love their children very much, but are these ways of disciplining them wise? Please understand, it is not my aim to interfere (干涉).

--- Gram

Dear Gram,

Children's bedroom doors should not be locked. Should a flash fire break out, it would be a nightmare (噩梦).Punishing all the children when only one has earned the punishment is a good way to make them grow up to hate each other. Children who use "naughty" words should not be punished with hot sauce in the mouth-they should be taught the proper and acceptable word to use instead of the "naughty" word.

1.Gram's daughter _____________.

A. is very strict with her children            B. does not love her three children

C. always punishes her children at night      D. often gives her children hot sauce

2. Gram writes the letter in order to ____________.

A. disclose her daughter's ways as a mother

B. criticize her daughter's ways as a mother

C. express her anger about her daughter s ways as a mom

D. get others' opinion about her daughter's ways as a mom

3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Gram seems to care for her grand children very much.

B. Gram is against some of her daughter's ways as a mom.

C. Abby is for only one of Gram's daughter's ways as a mom.

D. Abby agrees with Gram about her daughter's ways as a mom.

With this letter I want to give up on my kitchen duties,until there is clear evidence of mutual respect（互相尊重）within the home.

For years it has been thought that I will be the one to pick up the dropped socks,turn off lights,turn on the dishwasher.But I reached my breaking point this weekend.Everyone was happy when the dog found a piece of bone. He played with it,carried it around and dropped it.You all watched,took photos,had fun and then went away.I was left finishing the lunch tidy-up,my heart warmed by all your laughter.

Until I came across the piece of fruit in some dog hair in the middle of the carpet.You had all seen it and walked away.Did anyone really want to pick it up?I don't mind walking the dog and bathing the cat.We have chosen to look after them.I'm building a family,a home filled with love.

But look at you now! My husband,with your job growing,each step forward,you have more challenges to conquer（战胜）.My children,wonderful teenagers and young adults growing into yourselves,you are living your free lives.I love you all more than anything else in this world.But something went wrong—I became static（静止的）.I became less the heart of the family,more the caretaker.

We are a family,a unit that lives and loves in a mutually supportive way.I'm inviting you to step up and join in. My position is open for discussion but never again will I play the role of cook and bottle washer.I will continue to cook at times—I love to do so—but only when I have the time.I have a life to live as well.

Your loving wife and mother
