Dear dad and mum,
I have been very happy in the school. Sometimes, at night I cry in the bed because I miss you very much. You always say “Learn well and I will be happy.” So I work hard in the school every day. After class I play with my classmates. We skip rope, play cards and ball and so on. I spend a lot of time doing my homework. After lunch we have to do Kumon. When I finish, I play Pingpong with my friends. Then I spend some time reading my English notes. At six o’clock I have my evening class. Then I have my evening snack at twenty past seven. After that, I have some free time. At eight o’clock, I go to bed. This is a day in the school. Mum, you always tell me “Happiness is very important in our life.” So I want to be happy every day. If you are not happy, call me please.
Yours,
Laura
Dear Mom and Dad,
Although we can only keep in touch with each other by the telephone or the Internet, I wish I could let you know how much I love you and how much I’ve appreciated the things you’ve done for me. Its never too much to say thank you to you, my dear parents.
First and the most important is that thank you for bringing me to this world. During the 20 years, you have done a lot for me, but I haven’t realized how much I love you until I left home to the university. I understand how much effort you have cost to bring me up. Now, I have grown up, I can look after you.
Second, I want to thank you that you give me a good environment to grow up. There is an old saying “Parents are the first teacher to their children”. In my life, you are the typical ones. Because of your good examples I formed the good habit of learning at an early age which benefits my life.
At last, I want to say “thank you” is that you always support my choice. You never forced me to do anything I was not interested in. You told me to pursuit my own dreams without hesitation and you would support me forever. You also told me to how to be a human. Now I become an optimistic and cheerful girl and I feel happy every day.
I really miss you when I am writing this thank you letter. I can’t wait to go home to share more time together with you.You are my most important people in the world and I will love you forever.
Yours,

My dear parents,
The worst is behind us! That was last night's organ concert and the lecture preceding it. Quite frankly I was somewhat worried about this lecture. Since I am not used to giving long talks in French and the hall is enormous: three thousand people. But to my amazement I discovered that I felt as much at home in French as I do in German, and that it was easier for me to speak loudly and clearly in French than in German! I stood there without a manuscript, and within three minutes. I sensed that I had captured my audience more surely than I had ever done before. I spoke for fifty-five minutes, and next came an organ recital that lasted for one hour. I have never been so successful. When the program ended, they all remained in their seats: I had to go back to my organ and play for another half hour; the audience was sorry to leave it was half-past midnight!
Here, the concerts are announced for 9:15, but at that time there's not a soul in the auditorium; toward 9: 30 the first few people arrive, strolling about in the hall and the lobby, and toward ten o'clock, after three rings of a bell, the people deign to finally take their seats!
On Saturday, a grand concert with organ and orchestra is scheduled in the morning, and I have long rehearsals in the evening, for the organ is very difficult to play since the sound is always delayed. Luckily, I'm well rested, and I am managing to overcome the difficulties. Absolutely everyone addresses me as "cher mare"; the art critics settle down in the auditorium during rehearsals; my portrait is displayed in the music stores. It's such fun.
I am staying with Walter at the premier hotel on the grand square with splendid palm trees. I have a view of the square and the entire city all the way to the big mountains forty minutes away from here; they are as high as the Hohnack. I walk over to them every afternoon; it takes me a total of two hours.
The weather is the same as at home on a lovely June day. The men who were waiting for me at the railroad station roared with laugher when they saw Walter and me in overcoats.
As I am writing to you, the square below my window is filled with a terrible din. The king is arriving in an hour, and the troops are now taking up their positions. Tomorrow evening there will be a grand performance at the theater. I have been invited, but I am not going; I want to rest, for I feel too well to risk my excellent condition.
I will close now, otherwise the letter won't go off tonight. It has to be at the post office by four o'clock. There is no night train to France.
Please forward this letter to the Fhretsmanns and to the Woytts.
Hugs and kisses.
Albert
美国著名小说家马克吐温的作品《百万英镑》语言诙谐滑稽,文字清新有力,读起来生动趣味、欢乐之情溢于纸面。他用夸张的手法描绘了不一样人物在“百万英镑”面前的种种丑态,幽默滑稽,趣味横生,就如同一幅世态讽刺画,令人忍俊不禁。
《百万英镑》讲的是一个贫穷、诚实的人亨利在伦敦的一次奇遇。一天,他突然收到了一对兄弟的信。信里面有一张无法兑现的百万英镑的钞票要借给他,一个月为期。原先这对富翁兄弟打了一个赌:如果一个贫穷、诚实的人收到天上掉下的一百万英镑,他会有怎样的结果?哥哥认为他会饿死,因为他无法证明这些钱是他自我的,会受到别人的怀疑,连银行都不会让他存钱,甚至被捕坐牢。弟弟则认为以他的'诚实和智慧会过得很好。于是他们兄弟俩将一百万英镑的钞票借给了亨利,并出国呆了一个月。没想到在这段时间内,人们对这位突然暴富的罕见富翁,竟拼命地拉拢他,从免费吃饭,免费买衣服,免费住宿……一个个见钱眼开的嘴脸像乞丐一样讨好他,趋炎附势并不断提高他的社会地位,一向到了除王室外最高的公爵之上!不光如此,他充分展示他的聪明,还得到了一位好妻子和三万英镑的银行利息,最终还得到了一份很好的工作,过上了幸福的生活,成了一位真正意义上的富翁。
在这个故事中,人们把金钱看做比世上任何事物还要重,当时社会金钱至上的拜金主义,钱!成了衡量一切的标准!马克吐温用夸张和讽喻的修辞方法对“金钱就是一切”、“金钱是万能的”的想法进行了讽刺。我认为金钱不是万能的!金钱能买到床铺,却买不到睡眠;金钱能买到食物,却买不到口味;金钱能够买到书本,却买不到知识……金钱的确能够满足人们的虚荣心,但最真实的还是人坦荡的生活。就像亨利一样,他失去了金钱,可是他依然乐观地生活着。我们要用一颗坦然、平常的心对待生活,自我的生活要靠自我去争取去创造,仅有勤劳的人才会有真正的收获。
经过阅读,我还明白了:做一个诚实的人,用智慧勇敢地把握人生中的机会,成功就在眼前,诚信是安身之本,智慧是临变不惊,勇气是立命之根。在亨利的传奇经历中,我们还能够得出这样一个有关成功的规律:成功=诚实智慧勇气。
