Dear Micheal,
How's your vacation?I'm visiting my uncle in Spain.He lives in the sunny and beautiful city of Valencia,in Spain.
Yesterday,I had great fun.My uncle took me to the tomato festival in Bunol,which is just 30 miles away from where my uncle lives.You have probably never heard of this festival before.Neither had I.The tomato festival is called "La Tomatina"in Spanish.It was the biggest and messiest tomato fight in the world.When we first got to the square where the festival took place,it was very crowded with people from all around the world,and many trucks were carrying tomatoes.My uncle told me the crowded people here were around 38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol.
The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger was beaten.Then everyone including me started throwing tomatoes at each other.I took red tomatoes and threw them at anyone that ran,moved,bent down,or turned around.Tomatoes must be squashed before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody.
After a little while,the streets,people and nearby buildings were splashed with red.There was no winner in this fight,but we all had fun.As soon as a second banger was beaten,people stopped throwing.
I really had a great time,I wish you were here,too.I hope I hear from you soon.Take care.
With love,
From Spain

“Pictogram” is a compound word made from “picture” and “telegram”. Pictograms are usually simple pictures, and they are often made with letters and words. A pictogram is a symbol which represents an idea or an object through an image (图像). Also, it is a kind of communication system which must be learned but is very useful in our lives. The user must learn to see, understand and remember the different pictogram symbols. There are about 1,400 different symbols at the present time.
A Canadian named Subhas Maharaj came up with the idea for pictograms in the beginning of the 1980s. At first, pictograms were introduced to help people who had disabilities in speaking, reading, or writing. Pictograms are images of objects that are easy to see and create. Today, pictograms are used in many different ways. For example, there are traffic, recycling and restaurant signs, even animal symbols and so on.
Pictograms are usually in white against a black background. The combination of white against a black
background creates extremely contrast (对比), and this makes pictograms
friendlier to user. A good example of a pictogram is the public toilet symbols
for “men” and “women” just like the one on the left. Pictograms are a useful
method of communication, and people can have fun as they learn each
pictogram.
