Everybody thinks I have a real gift for painting. However, I once did not like art lessons because I could not draw very well. One day, I was playing with some paint as usual in Ms Lou’s art lesson. I mixed the paint with water. As I took the brush away, I dropped some paint onto the paper. Looking at the mark, I decided to blow it. The paint began to run, so I blew harder. The paint ran in all directions and made a very interesting picture! “That’s a very good picture, Sandy.” Ms Luo encouraged me to keep trying. Since then, I have been crazy about crayons and paints.

Winter is my favourite season. It is very cold and everyone has to wear thick warm clothes, but I always enjoy the winter here in Harbin.

The temperature is usually below zero and it is often snowy. Everything is covered in deep white snow, and the lakes and rivers are frozen.

During this season, you cannot see beautiful flowers or green trees, but the land is quiet and beautiful.

My friends and I love playing outside in winter. It is exciting to have

big snowball fights. We also make snowmen and use carrots for their noses. They look funny.

Winter is great!

My farther has worked in a local factory for years. You will not find anything unusual about him until you learn more.

My father has always been kind and helpful. He has donated blood many times since 1990. The blood he has donated is enough to save over 70 lives. He has also donated blood cells to people with blood cancer. To my surprise, he has decided to donate his body for medical research after his death.

When I was a little girl, I could not understand why my father always seemed to be kinder to others than to his own family. Now I realize that he has a heart full of love.

Zhalong Nature Reserve is in North-east China. It is one of the world’s most important wetlands. The area provides food and cover for a lot of wildlife. It is a perfect place for some rare birds.

Some people want to make the wetlands smaller in order to have more space for farms and buildings. This will lead to less and less space for

wildlife. Now the Chinese government has made laws to protect Zhalong. Wetlands are important because they provide food and shelter for wildlife including some endangered birds, and they also help prevent floods. We must protect the home of plants, fish and birds in Zhalong.

Twenty years ago, mobile phones were rather expensive. Only important or rich people had them. However, these days more people have them in their hands, even high school students.

It is true that mobile phones can be very useful. They are an easy way to keep in touch with friends and family members anywhere and at any time. But we also hear mobile phones ring in places like classrooms, cinemas and museums. The sound is very loud and can disturb people. Some drivers have accidents because they use their mobile phones while driving. So, are mobile phones really a good thing?

Dear Millie,

Thank you very much for your letter. I hope I can offer you some useful advice.
