Read Cindy’s diary and answer the questions.

Nov. 13, 1990

Today I got a letter from Jenny, my new friend in America. I wrote her last week, and it was my first time to write a letter in English. I was worried that she wouldn’t get my letter. But she did, and she wrote back a nice long letter. She told me a lot about her family, school life, and the things she likes to do on holidays. I found we both love watching basketball games and think of Michael Jordan as the greatest player ever.

I can’t wait to get a letter from Jenny again. It’s so much fun to share things with a foreign friend. In my next letter, I will tell her some interesting things about my school.

Yellow Dress
 by Janet Lee 
Mary had a yellow dress
Bought from the department store.
It looked as beautiful as the moon,
And as bright as the sun.

Mary wore all the time
The yellow dress I felt so right.
Every day from day to night
I saw her in the dress so bright.

“Buy me a yellow dress.”
I cried to Mom and Dad,
“As beautiful and bright
As the dress the girl living near has!”

I cried and cried and cried,
Until they said with sad eyes,
“We need food for your baby sister.
And clothes for your coming brother.”

Since then I’ve learned
Mary’s yellow dress
Is better to dream of
Than to ask for.

Dear Grandma,

I’ve been in Bluelake for two months now. It’s a beautiful small city. Schools here begin at the end of August. I like my school and I’m having a great time teaching Art History here.

I’m now living in an apartment with a friend. From the window of my bedroom, I can see a beautiful green hill with flowers and trees.

Many people go there to have a picnic or to fly kites. I enjoy taking a walk there every day after work and watching the people.

I miss you very much, Grandma, and I hope you can come and visit me here some day.

Love,

Jude

When I was a child I could not wait to see the world. I grew like the spring flowers in the garden.

When I was a teenager, I could not wait to leave home. I did not want to follow any rules, and I was as angry as the burning sun in the summer sky.

But then, I learned to think carefully before doing anything. (Both good and bad things in the past became parts of my life, like autumn harvests for a farmer.

Now I am old. My body is weak, but my mind has become strong and clear because of those experiences in my younger days. I am like a winter leaf ready to take a good rest.

These are the four seasons of my life.

I had a dream — a strange dream that has helped me to understand Eric much better.

In the dream, Eric looked angry and said, “Melissa, I have something to tell you.”

I’ve lived with Eric for more than five years. He is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I buy him fish and milk and lots of toy mice once a week. I even bought a small house for him, because he sometimes likes to be left only by himself. I love him with all my heart, and give him all I love.

But what has gone wrong? In the dream Eric said angrily, “I don’t like fish. I don’t like milk. And toy mice? Are you crazy? I’m not a cat. And I don’t want to be a cat, either!” Then he ran back to his small house.

After the dream, I know better: dogs don’t like fish or milk. And surely they do not like toy mice. Most important of all, they will let you know when they are really angry!
