What we eat and how we live
Hi!My name is Kitty.I am 12 years old.I want to be a dancer.Every day, I dance for two hours.
A healthy diet is very important for a dancer.I need lots of energy to dance.lt's very easy for me to get tired when I dance. I need to keep fit.l seldom eat sweet snacks like cakes,sweets or drink Coke between meals.There is too much sugar in them.They give me energy,but they are not healthy.
I usually have fruit and vegetables because I want to be healthy.I always eat an apple for breakfast and I often drink some milk and eat some bread.I eat lunch every day.For dinner,l usually eat meat and vegetables. After dinner,I sometimes have an orange or banana.

I have a wonderful friend named Max.He is very tall—almost 1.75 metres.He is the tallest boy in my class.However,he has poor eyesight because of working on the computer too much at night.He wears small,round glasses and they make him look smart.
Mas has a good sense of humour .I never feel bored or unhappy when he is with me.He tells funny jokes and always makes me laugh.
His legs are very long and they do not fit under the school desks.He can walk fast but when he walkspast the desks,he often knocks our books and pens off the desks.He is so funny!
I thought of my good friend May when I read your advertisement.She is shorter than I am and is very small.She has straight,shoulder—length hair.Everyone thinks she os pretty.
May is a true friend.When something worries me,I can always go to her.I can tell her anything because she can keep a secret.
She is kind and never says a bad word about anyone.

October 25th Dear Mom
I am having a wonderful time here. I went to some very interesting places. Kitty's teacher Mr Wu invited me to join in their school trip to the World Park. It was a great day but we did not enjoy it at the beginning. Yesterday morning Mr Wu and the other students met Kitty and me at the school gate. Then we got on a coach. The trip from Kitty's school took about two hours by coach. It was boring. There was a lot of traffic on the city roads but it got better when we were on the highway. Kitty and I felt sick for most of the trip. Finally, we arrived at the World Park. The sky was blue and everything was beautiful. We became very excited when we saw the Eiffel Tower from the coach! It is made of metal and really tall. When the coach stopped, we all got off quickly. Kitty and I did not feel sick any more. We just wanted to go into the park and enjoy ourselves.
Soon, we were inside. The whole world was there in front of us.' There are over a hundred places of interest from all over the world. They are small but wonderful.
The pyramids looked Just like the real ones in Egypt. The Golden Gate Bridge looked just like the one back home too. When I saw them, I couldn't believe my eyes. They were wonderful.
It was an amazing day but the best part was the song and dance parade. The music was great and Kitty wanted to join in the dancing.
You can see some photos of the trip on the Internet. Kitty's classmate Daniel taught himself how to make a home page. He put his photos on it for everyone to look at. Go and see for yourself!
Love
Linda
