Dear Boris，

    Thanks for your nice letter．

    After I had spent a week with my English family，I slowly began to understand

their English a little better．It，s very different from what I learned at school!

Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects(方言)are different too! Some of their accents(口音)are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions．

   But it's not the language that’s different and surprising．Before I。came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day．That's quite wrong! I get rather mad now when I hear all the foolish words about typical(典型的)English

food.

   I had expected to see“London fog”．Do you remember our texts about it? We

had no idea that most of this‘thick fog’disappeared many years ago when people

stopped using coal in their homes．But the idea to speak about weather was very helpfu1．The weather in London is really changeable．

  On the other hand habits are different．People tell me what is typically British

1ere in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland．Local habits and traditions

are not the same as what we knew．

But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions．Probably Britain has more living, signs of its．past than many other countries．And ways been proud of having ancient buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside．

    I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters．

                                                         Love from Britain,

                                                                    Pete

Have you ever heard of a famous charity called Operation Smile? We hope we can help you understand how we are trying to help children all over the world.
Operation Smile was started by a doctor and his wife. In 1982, together with some volunteers, they went to Philippines to help children who had holes in their lips or inside their mouths. It was very difficult for them to eat and drink. These volunteers worked very hard. But they worried that they could not carry on with the work because they were short of money. Then they decided to start a charity so that they could help these needy children. They called it Operation Smile.
Operation Smile works in more than twenty developing countries and has cured over 10,000 children who have problems with their mouths. Operation Smile has won many prizes for its work and in 1999 they even started a special event called “The World Journey of Hope”. 5,000 children in 18 countries are cured during the event.
On the other hand, Operation Smile trains local doctors and nurses in developing countries so that they can continue to help children when Operation Smile has left. As to the children with much more serious problems, they will send them to America for further treatment.
So show your kindness and generosity to the needy children now. You can send your donation to Operation Smile at local banks. Many thanks from the children who can smile now will come to you.

If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?

Don’t listen to people who say that young people today often think only of themselves. It’s not true at all. More and more young people in the USA volunteer to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don’t do it for money. Here are some of their stories.

Alice Hamilton, 17 I’m going to help the Forest Center build new hiking paths(小道) in the mountains. It’s going to be terrific(棒極了). I will spend the whole summer living in a tent(帳篷) and breathing the fresh mountain air. I’m going to sleep under the stars. It will be a nice sport, and I will be able to do something good at the same time!

Jason Moore, 18 This summer, I’ll volunteer with Special House Program. They build good, low-cost houses and sell them to the poor. They’ll teach me what to do, so I am going to help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.

Trish Anderson, 16 I’m going to teach children who have trouble in reading. I’ll work for a program called Reading For Life. Every day, I’m going to help children choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher, and I love children and reading, so this is going to be a great experience for me.
