Dear Liz，
My stay in Thailand(泰国) has certainly 41 one of the most important experiences of my life.
Life is busy and exciting there. Bangkok(曼谷) is just like the 42 big cities with a population of 10 million and 43 traffic. I'm very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the busy city. There are Mr. and Mrs. Green, their son Sanan, daughter Chinda in my host family.
I go to an international(国际的)school 44 Sanan and Chinda. The school teaches mainly in English( about 70％), and 30％ in Thai language. I've learned some 45 Thai language, but Thai writing is very difficult.The cooking lesson is my favourite. I'm learning all about Thai food and culture. When I come back, I'm going to 46 a real Thai meal for you.
Last weekend we visited some temples. I thought it was great,but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island(普吉岛), where the beaches are 47 more beautiful. The month after next, we’re going to travel to Mr. Green’s hometown in the north of Thailand. The 48 have land there, and they have two elephants. I’m going to ride those elephants — and even wash them. Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and way of life. They have been a traditional symbol(象征)of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace. In the 49 century，a Thai king trained 20,000 elephants for battles(战争)．
Next time I write, I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing(拳击) teacher who teaches 50 boxing lessons. Love,
Mandy

PRANA, our beautiful dog, isn’t with us anymore. She died several years ago. But she brought such joy and love to our lives that we still miss her today.
It was an autumn day in Minnesota, US. We were hit by a big snow.
We had two apple trees in our backyard. Prana loved apples. When she went outside, she’d
catch an apple and hide it into the house. The apples had been on the ground and were often
very dirty. So I wasn’t happy because Prana had brought them into the house.
One day, it started to snow and Prana went outside. I noticed that she was madly digging
holes and bringing the apples to the surface(表面), so they could be seen above the snow. She
seemed busy digging up as many apples as possible during her yard time. I wondered why she was doing this.
When I called her back into the house, she had her usual one apple in her mouth. About
five minutes later, I looked outside. The yard was full of birds. Prana had dug up all those
apples for her bird and squirrel(松鼠)friends to eat. She knew that they didn’t have enough
food to get through such an early winter.
As I saw this beautiful act, tears filled my eyes. Prana taught us how to serve life with such
grace(恩泽).
