How to keep a good relationship with parents
In my opinion, I have too many rules at home. My parents never allow me to go out with my friends at night. They don't allow me to choose my own clothes, either. And they pay too much attention to my exam results. I think my parents don't quite understand me.
However, I try my best to understand them. Although they don't allow me to make my own decisions and give me too much presure, I know that it is because they really love me and want me to have a bright future.
In order to keep a good relationship with my parents, I study hard and listen to them. I talk with them as friends, and always tell them my troubles. I also help them do some housework.

Dear John,
It's Mother's Day today. It's a special day, isn't it?
I think we should do something to show our love to our mothers on this special day. My mother and I are good friends. Whenever I meet with difficulties, she is always there, ready to help me.
Today I will make a beautiful card for her, with my thanks and best wishes on it. Then I will help her wash the car this afternoon and cook her favourite food in the evening. Besides, I'll take a walk with her after dinner and then play chess with her, for she likes it very much. I'm sure she'll be very happy.
What's your plan for Mother's Day? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

【优秀满分范文】
we had an exam yesterday and now the papers are being handed out. There's a paper without a name on it and that student got full marks.
Whom can it belong to? It can't be a boy's, because none of them in class can be so good and tidy. The paper must belong to a girl because its handwriting is very tidy. There are only three girls who are good at handwriting — Rose, Mary and Lucy. It might belong to Rose, but I'm not sure because she is not so good at English.
It can't be Mary's. Although she is a top student in English, she has already had hers in hand. So it must belong to Lucy. Today she is ill at home and she does well in English, too. Well, it must belong to her.

Dear Linda,
I am glad to give you advice on the customs of giving gifts in my country.
Firstly, I think you need to find out what your Chinese teacher likes. Choosing the gift that your teacher is interested in is a good idea. Secondly, don't pack the gift with black or white wrapping paper, because black and white aren't considered to be lucky colors. Thirdly, don't buy your teacher a clock, a pair of shoes, or some pears because these have bad meanings in Chinese when giving a gift.
I hope my advice can help you.
Yours,
Guo Jia

Dear John,
I know that you will visit your Chinese teacher's home. If you do the following, I don't think you will feel uncomfortable.
First, you should arrive a little earlier. Being late is impolite. Second, it's also good to bring a gift such as some flowers or fruit. Third, you will probably use chopsticks to have dinner. Remember not to stick your chopsticks into your food. You'd better say that the food is delicious while you are eating. Finally, after dinner, showing thanks is also necessary. And you are not supposed to stay long after dinner.
Good luck!
Yours,
Bob
