Can you imagine that I’m now in the United States, a country so different from China? Everything is new and interesting! I made some friends on the trip over and they have been very kind and helpful. Still, you know how much I miss you and your cooking? My mouth waters at the mere thought of those delectable Chinese dishes you prepare. Last night, my friends invited me to dinner. They had some strange ways of describing their hunger. For instance, there was“I’m starving to death”,“I’m famished”, and“I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse”, which has a similar expression in Chinese; I’m sure you know the one. How about“I’m making a pig of myself”! A little confusing, hmm? Anyway, this stuff may be useful to you
as an English teacher, so I’m also sending a tape. You can listen to our conversation and hear some real modern American English.
Your loving daughter,

我的爸爸中等身材,身上总是干干净净的,一点不像维修工人的样子。他每天总是起早贪黑地给顾客修车。记得有一次,爸爸给别人修车,一直到夜里12点才收工回家,第二天又很早起床去修车了。望着他远去的背影,我的泪水湿润了眼圈。
我的妈妈是一名普通的维修理工人,她扎着马尾辫,衣着朴素,一双大眼睛,让人感受觉和蔼可亲。
我们家最先起床的总是妈妈,最后睡觉的也是她。每次早晨,我还未起床,妈妈早已烧好了早饭。晚上,我早已进入甜蜜的梦乡,劳累了一天的妈妈还要拖着疲惫的身子帮我整理衣服,操持家务。妈妈宁愿自已吃苦,也不让我吃一丁点苦。
有一次,妈妈从奶奶那儿用车接我回家,因为当时妈妈骑的那车的龙头坏了,突然车把一歪,“砰”的一声,车子倒在了大马路上。我"啪"的一声摔在了地上,妈妈也摔在了大马路上。随即妈妈爬起来,连裤子都没掸一下,赶紧跑过来,把我扶起来,说:“疼不疼?妈妈给你揉揉!”顿时,一股暖流涌进我的心间,流遍我的全身。我含着热泪,说:“我不疼,妈妈,你疼吗?”“妈妈没事。”可是等到家时,我发现妈妈的脚都流血了。
这就是我的爸爸妈妈,我们三口组成了快乐的一家.
我生活在一个充满温馨、幸福的\'家庭中。如果你问我最自豪的东西是什么?我会坚决地告诉你——那就是我的家。家的感觉多好啊!因为家里有我亲爱的爸爸妈妈。
“变色龙”爸爸
为什么我用“变色龙”来形容我的爸爸呢?因为,当我温顺乖巧时,最疼我的人是他;当我调皮捣蛋时,最生气的人也是他。
爸爸要求我养成良好的学习习惯,放学一回家,就得先完成作业。而且做作业时要全神贯注,雷打不动。那一次,大厅里的电视正播放着我喜欢看动画片,我写作业时有点分神,借口到大厅去喝水,偷偷地瞟了电视机一眼。爸爸发现了,马上大发雷霆:“你有完没完,写作业不准开小差。”话不多,可听听那声音,再看看爸爸脸上的“阴云”,我能不心惊胆战吗?
完成了作业,我拿出了溜溜球,耍开了新招式,爸爸看了满脸堆笑:“乖孩子,教爸爸两招吧。”想到刚才他还一脸严厉地呵斥我,教他溜溜球的时候,我耍了花招,让他的手指卷到球里去。爸爸只是皱皱眉头,依然开心得像个老顽童。
时髦的妈妈
我的妈妈留着齐耳的短发,一副江南小女人的模样,惹人怜爱。妈妈每天都很忙碌,因为她很会赚钱,可是会赚钱的妈妈也很会花钱呀。妈妈喜欢时髦的东西,当然也就喜欢逛街,回来就是大包小包的东西提回家,然后就对着镜子试穿她的衣服。
一阵窸窸窣窣的声音过后,妈妈穿着长筒靴,一身连衣裙就出现在大厅里:“孩子他爸,这身打扮怎么样?”
“嗯,秋天了——”爸爸的鼻音拉得很长很长。
哦,妈妈明显急了,匆匆地又跑回房间。又一阵窸窸窣窣的声音过后,穿上镶花边的小夹袄,手中挎着白色的提包出现在大厅里:“这样子不错吧。”妈妈眼光下垂,往下拉拉衣服的下摆,转了个圈。
“不错,挺棒的。”我赶紧接过话茬。我知道,照往常的习惯,妈妈没有听到夸奖的声音,是不肯罢休的。果然,妈妈一听这话,脸上就开了一朵花,兴匆匆地推开家门找朋友聊天去了。
女为悦己者容嘛。妈妈喜欢赶时髦,大家都得顺着她点。
Dear Mom,

Dear Mum,
Today I'm going to tell you something really special. I know you work very hard and feel tired every day. Every time you come home and see the messy house. , I know you are very angry with me. But you always say nothing and clean up the house .I always want to help you, but I have so much homework to do. After I finish my homework, I feel like dying. I really want to help you, but I'm so tired too.
I also want to tell you one thing, I love you so much. I usually talk back to you when you say that I don't study hard enough. But in fact I just want you to praise me more. I will try my best to get good grades and get praise from my teacher. So don't feel frustrated about my grades, OK? I made up my mind that I will study harder and help you to clean the house. I am serious this time. I will have my homework done faster so that I can have more energy to clean up the house. I will watch TV less so that I can have more time to study and get good grades. All these things are for one reason: I want to make you happy Mum. I love you!
With lots of love
Peter
