[00:-8.00]September 28,2004 Dear Jenny, [00:-9.00]We have been talking to each other mostly through e-mail. [00:10.00]This time,i choose to write a letter instead, [00:11.00]as I feel like writing English with a pen. [00:12.00]When I write with a pen,it seems easier for me to express my thoughts and feeling. [00:13.00]It is almost a month since school started.I really like being in high school. [00:14.00]It's exciting.There are so many new things to do and so many new frineds to meet. [00:15.00]Hight school students in China live a busy but colourful life. [00:16.00]We are under lots of pressure. [00:17.00]We have to work hard for the National College Entrance Examinations, [00:18.00]which will take place in less three years. [00:19.00]The examinations will be extremely competitive. [00:20.00]Now I have a great group of friends. [00:21.00]We take all of our classes together in the same classroom. [00:22.00]It's good to have friends to study with because we can help each other. [00:23.00]I'm pretty good at English,so many guys ask me for help in English class. [00:24.00]I dont' mind.After school we usually go to play sports for a little while. [00:25.00]Sometimes we take a walk down by th river or visit some bookstores. [00:26.00]We have to be back for evening class at 7:30. [00:27.00]Amoug this group,there is one guy named Dazhi,whom I like most. [00:28.00]I met him on the sports ground one afternoon.He was sitting alone,deep in thought. [00:29.00]I went up him and introduced myself. [00:30.00]I learned from our talk that he is from the countryside [00:31.00]some two hundred kilometres away from Shijiazhuang. [00:32.00]Dazhi's fascinating life has been very different from mine. [00:33.00]As time goes on,I find we have many similar interests and hobbies. [00:34.00]I think I can learn a lot from him. [00:35.00]Being friends means learning from each other.Don't you thing so? [00:36.00]I have invited Dazhi to come to my hom for dinner this Sunday. [00:37.00]I think we will have a good time together. [00:38.00]We will have lots of things to share with each other. [00:39.00]I am quite happy with this growing friendship. [00:40.00]It has opened a door to many new experiences. [00:41.00]I must go back to class now.

[00:46.00]When I type on the computer I feel like I am doing homework, [00:47.00]but when I write,I feel more creative. [00:48.00]Writing to my friends is something I do for pleasure, [00:49.00]not because I have to do it. [00:50.00]Like you,I really enjoy being in high school.

[-1:11.00]It always feels good to have friends [-1:12.00]to share the good times as well as the bad times. [-1:13.00]Sometimes we took a bus to other cities for the weekend for games. [-1:14.00]I really liked those!I hope we can go on trips with this team,too.

[-2:15.00]I met new people.I did my own things.. [-2:16.00]Although it was painful to lose such a close friend, [-2:17.00]it built me up into the individual person I am today. [-2:18.00]Now this best friend and I ate becoming better friends than we were before.-H.H [-2:19.00]The Power of Friendship [-2:20.00]Dogs and elephants,just like lions and tigers,nor cats and mice, [-2:21.00]traditionally have been"natural enemies". [-2:22.00]Dogs bark at elephants because they are afraid of the large animals. [-2:23.00]Elephants get annoyed at the barking dogs and chase them. [-2:24.00]It has been like that forever. [-2:25.00]Once upon a time,there was a well-fed royal bull elephant. [-2:26.00]Living nearby was a poorly-fed stray dog. [-2:27.00]The dog was attracted by the smell of the rich sweet rice [-2:28.00]being fed to the royal elephant. [-2:29.00]He began to eat the rice that fell from the elephants mouth[-2:30.00]While enjoying his food,the mighty elephant didn't notice the tiny,shy,stray dog. [-2:31.00]Feeding on the pieces of food dropped from the elephant's mouth, [-2:32.00]the once underfed dog gradually grew bigger and stronger, [-2:33.00]and became very handsome. [-2:34.00]The good-natured elephant began to enjoy the dog's company. [-2:35.00]The dog grew used to being around the elephant. [-2:36.00]He lost his fear and no longer barked at him. [-2:37.00]Before long,neither would eat without the other. [-2:38.00]When they played,the dog would grab the elephant's heavy trunk, [-2:39.00]and the elephant would swing him forward and backward, [-2:40.00]from side to side,up and down,and even in circles! [-2:41.00]So it was that they became"best friends,"and never wanted to be separated. [-2:42.00]Then one day,a man from a remote village, [-2:43.00]who was visiting the city,passed by the elephant shed. [-2:44.00]He saw the beautiful dog and bought him from the mahout. [-2:45.00]He took the dog back to his home village, [-2:46.00]without anyone knowing where that was. [-2:47.00]Soon,the royal bull elephant became very said. [-2:48.00]since he missed his best friend the dog. [-2:49.00]He didn't want to do anything,not even eat or drink or bathe. [-2:50.00]So the mahout had to report this to king, [-2:51.00]although he said nothing about selling the friendly dog. [-2:52.00]It just so happened that the king had an intelligent minister [-2:53.00]who was known for his understanding of animals. [-2:54.00]He ordered the minister to go and find the reason for the elephant's condition. [-2:55.00]The wise minister saw once that the royal bull elephant was sad. [-2:56.00]He thought,"This once happy elephant does not appear to be sick in any way. [-2:57.00]But I have seen this condition before,in men and animals alike.' [-2:58.00]Then he said to the guards,"I find no sickness. [-2:59.00]He seems to be grief-stricken due to the loss of a friend. [-3:00.00]Do you know if this elephant had a close friendship with anyone?" [-3:-1.00]They told him about the friendship between the royal elephant and the stray dog. [-3:-2.00]The minister returned to the king and said. [-3:-3.00]"Your majesty,I am happy to say your elephant is not sick. [-3:-4.00]As strange as it may sound,he became best friends with a stray dog! [-3:-5.00]Since the dog has been taken away, [-3:-6.00]the elephant and does not feel like eating or drinking or bathing." [-3:-7.00]"Friendship is one of life's most wonderful things. [-3:-8.00]My minister,how can we bring back my elephant's friend and make him happy again?" [-3:-9.00]"My lord,"replied the minister,"I suggest you make an official announcement. [-3:10.00]Whoever has the dog that used to live to the royal elephant shed,will be fined[-3:11.00]This was done.When the villager heard of it,he released the dog from his house. [-3:12.00]The dog ran as far as he could,straight back to his best friend, [-3:13.00]the royal bull elephant. [-3:14.00]The elephant was so overjoyed that he picked up his friend with his trunk [-3:15.00]and sat him on top of his head. [-3:16.00]The happy dog wagged his tail while the elephant danced with delight. [-3:17.00]They both lived happily ever after.
