Dear Sir or Madam,
When I went to the library with my son, I saw your advertisement (广告) in the newspaper. It says if I join your club,I can visit other countries cheaply. I'm interested in it and I think it's a good way to spend a holiday(假期). I can offer(提供) my house here in Munich when I am traveling.
My house is in the center of the town, near an art museum. So it's an excellent place for art lovers. The house is big enough for four or five people to live in and it has everything for a nice holiday. But there is no swimming pool.
My favorite countries to visit on holiday are English-speaking countries, but France would be a good place for me too. I usually take my holidays between March and June, and this is the time when another member(成员) of your club could use my house. The weather is good in Munich at this time of the year.
Please let me know how I can join your club. I look forward to(期待) hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Kate Miller
Wu Jingxun, 46, is from Foshan, Guangdong Province. About 15 years ago, when he came to volunteer at a village primary school in Sichuan Province for the first time, he found the kids there didn't have enough books to read. He also found that there weren't any books at the students' homes.
After that, Wu and his friends at Friends Camp, a volunteer organization (组织), bought many books for the primary school.
One year later, in 2007, when they visited the school again, they found that children in the village did not know how to read. Even though you put great books in front of them, they just looked through the picture books. They didn't learn from the books. This made Wu and his friends think how to teach children to read.
In some good primary schools, grade-three students can finish reading 15 books a year and, sometimes even more. But, in poor villages, grade-six students only know about 1,800 Chinese characters(汉字).
Now Wu focuses on(专注) picture books and science as he volunteers to teach children how to read. "If they can take up reading as a good habit, they can benefit (受益) more. They can read in their free time but not just play games or use Douyin on their phones," Wu said.

What do teenagers(青少年) usually do after school? Are today's teenagers lazy?
A survey(调查) shows that today teenagers spend fifty hours doing after-school activities, homework, and housework. Jessica Watson, 14, isn't surprised. "I go to school from 8:30 a. m. to 3:30 p. m. But after school I don't go home or watch TV. I'm in the school volleyball club and I have to practice on Tuesdays and Fridays. I also take dance classes on Thursdays."
At home, Jessica spends a lot of time doing homework. "I have to do two or three hours of homework every night," says Jessica. This is normal for teenagers today. On average(平均), they spend about nine hours a week doing homework.
Jessica also helps with the housework. "My parents often get home late. I have to clean the house. Mom does the shopping and the cooking, and Dad washes the dishes."
On Saturdays and Sundays, Jessica works in a clothes store. "Mom and Dad don't give me money, so I have to work to get money for CDs and going out with my friends."
Jessica is unhappy when adults say teenagers are lazy. "Adults think we watch TV, listen to music, and use the phone all the time. But this isn't true. I enjoy doing those things, but I do a lot of other things, too."
