國中英語基測出現過 leave 的考題。
Mei-ting is from a small village in Nantou. Last week she and her brother came to Kaohsiung to stay with their grandparents. Their house in Nantou fell down in a terrible typhoon. Their parents had to stay in Nantou to take care of their little sister in the hospital. She was seriously hurt when the house fell down.
Mei-ting and her brother now go to a new school in Kaohsiung. Everyone in the school is nice to them, but Mei-ting feels sad because they have to stay in Kaohsiung for a long time, until their new house is built. She misses her classmates in Nantou very much. They are wonderful friends, and their letters have made her feel much better. Mei-ting also misses her parents and her little sister. She hopes she can see them again soon.
