In 1816, there were no schools for the deaf in America. Several people started a few schools, but in the end all of the schools closed. There were too many problems.

I went home one Saturday afternoon in the autumn of 1993 to get some work done in the garden. While sweeping leaves on the ground, my five-year-old son Nick came over and asked me to write something on a piece of paper to make a sign for him.

"What for?" I asked.

"I'm going to sell some of my stones," he answered.

Nick was fascinated with stones and had collected many stones from all over. "I'm too busy to do that for you. Go and ask your mum for help." I said.

A short time later, Nick returned with a sign, reading. "Stones. One Dollar Each". He took the sign, a small chair and 4 0f his best stones and walked to the road in front of our garden. There he put the stones in a line and sat down on the chair.

After half an hour, nobody passed by. I walked to him and asked him to go back, but he didn't.

Another half hour later, a small car came down the road. I watched as Nick stood up, holding his sign up. A woman rolled down（摇下）a window and read the sign. I couldn't hear their talk, but I saw the woman turn to the driver and the man reach for his pocket.

I sat in the yard, as Nick ran to me. Waving the dollar, he shouted. "I told you I could sell one stone for a dollar – if you believe in yourself, you can do anything."

“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?”

We often hear such discussions. As important, Without, thousands, hot, nearer, why, much, away, Nothing, year China opens its door, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They would like to know the world well.

It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their fo reign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.

Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an oce an of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?

We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China.

Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused.

He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

One possible version:

Dear Editor,

I write to you just because I’m worried about the big problem that we’re facing.

Though people used to live a poor life, there was no pollution on the earth. Now our lives have greatly improved, but the environment is changing for the worse. In many places, rubbish is thrown into lakes and rivers. In some cities, air pollution is harmful to people’s health. If this continues, the earth will soon become a terrible place for people to live. I think we shou ld stop pollution, plant more trees and use new types of energy. It’s important for us to develop a green lifestyle. (88words)

I hope that we can work together to make our world a better place to live.

Yours faithfully,

Daniel
