My uncle has a very beautiful umbrella. He's had it for years. As he is very careful with it, so it still looks as good as new.   1   He shook his head. "Then how did you get it?" I asked. "Well," he answered, "there' s a strange true story about the umbrella. About ten years ago, I was walking along a quiet London street one evening when it suddenly rained. I had no raincoat or umbrella.   2   And the people in the streets were fewer and fewer. As I was on my way to a party, I was afraid to get wet. So I stood in a doorway and waited for the rain to stop.   3   What was worse, there even wasn't a person around, and still it rained and rained. At last a young man came to the place where I was standing.   4   As I hoped he would allow me to walk to the next corner with him, where I could get a taxi, I stepped out of the dark doorway where I had been standing.   5    As I suddenly appeared before him, the young man was so shocked that he dropped the umbrella. He ran away and disappeared into the darkness. I picked up the umbrella and continued my walk. I knew it would be hard in this big city to find the owner, so I've kept it ever since."

　　Believe it or not, half of the oxygen（氧气）we breathe is produced by algae（藻类）, the oldest plants on the earth! Each year we eat about 29 million tons of fish, much more than cattle, sheep and eggs. Without the oceans, we cannot live!

　　The oceans are also rich in minerals（矿物）, oil and natural gas and many other resources. Every natural element can be found in the ocean. About 3.5 per cent of ocean water is made up of salt which we eat every day. Nearly one-third of the world's oil comes from our oceans. In fact, there is a lot of gold in ocean water, too. If all the gold in the world's seawater were mined（提炼）, each person on the earth could have about four kilograms of gold!

(1) Water covers over 70％ of the earth's surface.

This morning we went shopping．Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry (珠宝)and clothes．My mother bought a nice necklace(项链)．My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts．

    Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly．And it’s true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok，the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling．Thai food is delicious，but it is sometimes a little spicy(辛辣的)for me.

Hello Sandy,

We have just returned from our holiday. We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds.

Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as be used to. However this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!

I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley（峡谷）below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains（蒸汽火车）are very popular. I have taken many photos of the train and from it.

Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early （we usually expect snow in January）. It rained all day, then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine!

Both Jenny and I are well I don’t know if I told you, in the last e-mail, that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is enjoying the work.

Please write to us to tell us your news.

Yours,

Victor
