Hi, Sam!
So you're my new pen friend. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I'm 14 years old and I live in
Calgary, Canada. I have two older brothers, Brian and Sam. I'm the only girl.
I love sports and I'm always looking for exciting new hobbies to try. I like playing baseball in winter.It's fun beating the boys! But summer is my favourite time of the year. I love skateboarding and rock climbing in summer. Skateboarding's great because it's so fun and easy to learn! I often skateboard after school. There are many places in the park where I can do stunts. I'm good at stunts like jumping and turning the skateboard! Rock climbing is also really fun. I usually climb with my dad on weekends. We can't do it on real mountains very often because we live in the city. We do indoor rock climbing instead but it's not as challenging.
So that's me! How about you? Please write back soon!
Bye for now!
Anne

When I had something difficult to do, I used to ask my mum for help. But she always said, “Do it yourself, dear.” I was not happy about this at all. I thought she was the laziest mother in the world!
For example, one day, some of my friends would come to my home. My bedroom was really untidy. Books were all over the floor, and I didn’t make the bed. So I asked my mum to help me clean it, but she still said, “Do it yourself, my daughter.”
Because of my “lazy mum”, I have to wash my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents do housework. I even have to go to hospital by myself. It is very hard to do everything well on my own, but I have learnt a lot.
As time goes by, I come to understand my mum. She makes me clever and hard-working. How great she is! A good mother is worth(值得) 100 teachers! Don’t you think so?

Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbours. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.
Then their good relationship（关系）broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter(仇恨的)words, and then weeks of silence（沉默）.One morning John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. "It must be Bob, " John thought.
Then one day there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway.
“I'm looking for a few days' work, " the carpenter said.
‘‘I do have a job for you, " John said. "Look across the stream at that farm. That's my neighbour Bob. He dug(挖)a stream between the two farms.I want you to build a fence(栅栏)--an 8-foot fence. I don't want to see his place or his face any more. I don't have such a neighbour!”
The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I'll be able to do a job that makes you happy."
About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出). "Hi, John! You're quite a guy to build-this bridge!”
Then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. "I'm terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other, " said Bob.
Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you, " said John. "I'd love to stay, " the carpenter said, "but I have more bridges to build."
