Dear Micheal,

Yesterday, I had great fun. My uncle1me to the tomato festival in Bunol, which is just 30 miles away from where my uncle lives. You have2never heard of this festival before. Neither had I. The tomato festival is called “La Tomatina”in Spanish. It was3and messiest tomato fight in the world. When we first got to the square where the festival took place, it was very crowded4people from all around the world, and many trucks were carrying tomatoes. My uncle told me the crowded people here5around 38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol.
The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger was beaten. Then everyone including me started throwing6at each other. I took red tomatoes and threw7at anyone that ran, moved, bent down, or turned around. Tomatoes must be squashed before people threw them in order not8anybody.
After a little while, the streets, people and nearby buildings were splashed with red. There was no winner in this fight,9we all had fun. As soon as a second
banger was beaten, people stopped throwing.
I really had10great time, I wish you were here, too. I hope I hear from you soon.
Yours, Linda

Then one day I 4anEnglish movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with it at once. So Ibegan to watch other English movies, too. 5Icould not understand everything the characters said, their body language andthe expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning.

3. 阅读下面一篇短文，判断下列句子是否正确。
When you are learning a language, listening,speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. Whenyou read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to usethem. When you read a passage, it gives you a good example for writing.
Here are some good reading tips.
Firstly, try to read at the right level. Read something that you canunderstand. If it is too hard for you, it is not interesting.
Secondly, try to understand the new words.If there are four or five new words on a page, don’t use a dictionary. Instead,try to guess their meanings as you read. Mark them with a pencil. Then lookthem up in a dictionary when
you finish reading, and write them in your ownvocabulary book. Try to remember them.
Thirdly, try to read for a short time oncea day. Fifteen minutes or half an hour every day is better than two hours everySunday. For example, you can read before you go to bed, or after you get up orat lunchtime.
Lastly, read something that interests you.Choose a newspaper, a book or a magazine about a subject that you like. It willbe easy enough for you to understand. There is something interesting in it.
