Lucy, Robert and Jenny are studying in Bright High School. Here are their letters to a magazine. Always wear a seat belt (带)      I'm writing to tell you and all the readers how a seat belt can save your life. Last week I was in the back of my mum's car when I noticed that my door was not shut properly. I pushed it open so that I could shut it hard. But we went round a corner, and I fell through the open door. I was hanging out of the car above the road. The only thing that kept me in was my seat belt. Mum heard me screaming and she stopped the car and helped me back in. Although I was very shocked, I was not badly hurt. So my message is: Always wear a seat belt.                                                                                                               Lucy Ahmed (13) Father's Day       Next Monday is Father's Day, and this year I want to give my dad a very special present.

Our teachers are going to give us a test at school on Monday, so my brother and I have done some revision (复习) this weekend. But when his friends asks, "Have you done any work for the test?" He says, "No. I've done nothing." Do all boys do this, or is it just my brother? I'm not afraid to say I worked hard, so why is he?                                                                                                                 Jenny Bailey (15)

If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a special fruit. It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.
One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”.
Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.
An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice.
In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples.
Finally, when it’s time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.
