2b I’ll send you a photo of lucky
Dear Miss Li,
I’d like (thank )you for (give) money for Animal Helpers. I’m sure you know that this group ( set) up to help (disable)people like me. You helped to make it possible for me (have )Lucky. Lucky makes a big (different)e to my life. Let me tell you my story.
What would it (be) like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you can’t walk or use your hands ( easy). Most people would never think about this, but many people have these (difficult). I can’t use my arms or legs ( good), so normal things like ( answer)the telephone, opening and closing doors, or (carry) things are difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of ( my) helped me out. She talked to Animal Helpers about (get) me a special (train) dog. She also thought a dog might ( cheer )me up. I love animals and I was (excite) about the idea of having a dog.
After six months of (train) with a dog at Animal Helpers. I was able ( bring) him home. My dog’s name is Lucky—a good name for him because I feel very lucky ( have) him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your (kind)! Lucky is very clever and (understand) many English (word) He can understand me when I give him orders.

Lucky is a fantastic dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me. Thank you again for (change)my life.

Unit 3
3a Last month, our dog welcomed me when I (come) home from school. He wanted a walk, but I was too (tire). I (throw) down my bag and I went to the living room. The minute I (sit) down in front of the TV, my mom came over.
•“Could you please take the dog for a walk?” she asked.
•“Could I watch one show first?” I asked.
•“ No!” she replied (angry). “You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house! I can’t (work) all day and do housework all evening.”
•“Well, I work all day at school, too! I’m just as (tired) as you are!” I shouted back.
•My mom didn’t say (something) and walked away. For one week, she didn’t do any housework and nether (do) I. (final) , I couldn’t ( find )a clean dish and a tidy shirt.
•The next day, my mom came home from work ( find )the house clean and tidy.
•“What happened?” she asked in surprise.
•“I’m so sorry, Mom. I finally understand that we need ( share ) the housework to have a clean and (comfort) home,” I replied.
2b I do not understand why some parents make their kids ( help) with housework and (chore) at home. Kids these days already have enough (stressed) from school. They do not have time (study) and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of (they) time. Could we just let them (do) their job as students? They should (spend) their time on schoolwork in order to get good (grade) and get into a good university. Also, when they get (old), they will have to do housework so there (be) no need for them ( do )it now. It is the (parents) job to provide a clean and (comfort) environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think (do) chores is not so (difficulty) . I do not mind (do) them.
Ms. Miller
Dear Sir,
I think it is (importance) for children ( learn )how ( do) chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good (grade)at school. Children these (day) depend on their parents too much. They are always (ask)“Could you (get )this for me?”or“Could you help me with that?" (Do) chores helps to develop children’s (independent) and (teach) them how to look after (they). It also helps them to understand the idea of ( fair). Since they live in one house with ( they) parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in (keep) it clean and tidy Our (neighbor)son into a good college but during his ( one) year, he had no idea how ( take) care of himself. As a result, he often (fall0 ill and his grades (drop).The earlier kids learn to be (independence), the (good)it is for their future.

3a Dear Mr. Hunt,
My problem is that I can’t (get )on with my family. (Relation) between (me)parents have become (difficulty). They fight a lot, and I really dont like it. Its the only (communicate) they have. I dont know if I should (say) anything to them about this. When they argue, its like a big, black cloud (hang) over our home. Also, my (old) brother is not very nice to me. He always (refuse)to let me watch (me) favorite TV show. Instead he ( watch) whatever he wants until late at night. I dont think this is (unfair). At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do?
Sad and Thirteen
Dear Sad and Thirteen,
Its not easy (be) your age, and its normal ( have) these (feel) . Why dont you (talk) about these feelings with your family? If your parents are (have) problems, you should offer (help). Maybe you could do (much) jobs around the house so that they have (much) time for proper (communicate). (second) , why dont you sit down and (communicate) with your brother? You should (explain) that you dont mind him (watch) TV all the time. However, he should let you (watch) your favorite show. I hope things will be (good) for you soon.

These days, Chinese children are sometimes (busy) on weekends than (weekday) because they have to (take) so many after-school classes.

However, this doesn’t only happen in China. The Taylors (be)a typical (America) family. Life for Cathy Taylors three children (be) very busy. “On (more)days after school,” Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball (practice) and my daughter to football ( train) . Then I have to take my other son to piano (lesson) . Maybe I could (cut) out a few of their (activity), but I believe these (activity)s are (importance) for my (children) future. I really want them to be (success).” However, the (tiring) children (do) get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then its time for homework.
Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such (stress). “In some (family), (compete) starts very young and ( continue) until the kids get (old)," she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all (kind)of classes. And they are always (compare)them with other children. It’s crazy. I don’t think thats fair. Why dont they just (let0 their kids (be )kids? People shouldnt (push) their kids so ( hardly).”
Doctors say too much ( press) is not good for a childs (develop). Dr. Alice Green (say) all these activities can cause a lot of stress for (child). “Kids should have time (relax) and think for (them) , too. Although its normal (want) successful children, its even (important) to have happy children.”

2b Do You Remember What You Were Doing?
•People often remember what they (do) when they (hear)the news of important ( event) in history. In American, for example, many ( people) remember what they were doing on April 4, 1968.
