Environment
Dear Madam,
In the newspaper article it says how each person can help the environment. I disagree!
You haven't written enough advice and everything you wrote is wrong! How can you save the environment by not watering the plants? That's crazy! If you water the plants, they will make oxygen. That way we save the environment.
Other things that also help are: always close the tabs so you don't waste water and always turn off every light in your house so you don't waste electricity. Try to ride your bike more, cars need petrol and it releases filthy gases that poison the air, water and flowers. With the bike you are going to lose some weight and fat too. It's very healthy. See, it's very good both for you and the environment.
I believe we will save the environment if we keep it like this.
Yours faithfully, Chris Paleologos
The Legend of Li Shao
One of many Chinese legends is the "Legend of Li Shao". They say every 1,000 years the dark and light forces arrive.
The dark's forces name is Shao Li and the light's forces name is Li Shao or also known as Ying and Yang. The forces are separately trapped in two humans' bodies. These two humans will meet each other and start an epic battle between good and evil. If the light wins the world will be in goodness and happiness. But, if the dark wins the world will be destoryed!

A weird thing !!!!
Hi Sofy, How are you? I'm writing to you because something really weird happened to me. Last Sunday, I went to the mountains. While I was walking, I saw a dog running toward me. It was trying as hard as it could to tell something to me. It was like it wanted me to leave from there. I smelled smoke in the air and realised that a wildfire was a few metres away. I wasn't worried because four airplanes of the fire department quickly poured many litres of water. The weird part is the dog and why it tried to save me. Right now I have it on my lap and petting it. That's right, I took her home. Her name is Dawn and she's a girl. Has anything weird happened to you too? Write back soon. Chris

The Scariest Moment in my Life
Last Sunday,I went to the mountains.While we were walking ,I saw a bear,It was very big with terrifying and a big mount and thick .It was very wild!
I tried to run away because the bear was screaming, but I fell down and broke my leg. I was very scared . I was very lucky because my dad come to me for help.
