Dear Gina,

This year I'm in Grade (年级) 7. I have a(n) 1 in my new school and 2 name and telephone number are on 3. I have a new friend — Eric, and his 4 name is Green. He is a very 5 boy and he is good to us. He has 6 little sisters — Kate and Amy. They are 5 years old. Kate's favorite (特别喜爱的) 7 is yellow, and her pen and ruler are 8. Amy often asks others (其他人), "How 9 you?" or "What's your 10?" They are so cute (可爱的). Do you have some interesting things? Please write to me soon (很快).

Yours,

Alice

Mr. and Mrs. Smith come from Sydney (悉尼). They love Beijing very much. They teach English in a middle school there. They have two children, Sandy and Nick. They are both in China now. Mr. Smith can speak some Chinese. Now he works in Beijing with his wife.

Mr. Smith likes swimming and singing. His wife likes swimming and reading. They often go swimming in the afternoon. Sandy likes playing football and swimming. Nick likes swimming and playing basketball with his Chinese friends.

Nick's uncle, John Smith works in a hospital near Sydney. He likes swimming, too. He loves Beijing and likes to work in Beijing. But he can't speak Chinese at all. So he is still there and goes to Chinese classes every week.

If you live in the United States, the law says you can't have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can have a part-time job after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can't earn your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things.

Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people's yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting (织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbours, and Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her works to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines!

Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don't have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.
