There is a new market near my house. My mother often goes there and buys what we need for our meals. But I had never been there before.
Yesterday I went to the market with my mother. There were so many people that we could hardly make our way out of the crowds. There were all kinds of vegetables, fish and fruit everywhere. People were talking about the goods and the prices. The sellers shouts could be heard every now and then.I remembered that the day before I had asked Mother to buy some fresh fish.Most of the fish there was frozen, but we had not much trouble in finding some fresh fish at the other part of the market. My mother bought something else as well.
It was my first time to go to the market, and I was deeply impressed by what I saw in the market.

One day Mrs. Black wrote a letter to her friend, who was a doctor,inviting him to have dinner with her family. A few days later, the doctor wrote back, but she was not able to read his writing, because the letter was written carelessly. Anyway, her husband got an idea. He told her that a chemist maybe could read the doctor's writing. So Mrs. Black went to the chemist's shop. The chemist in the shop read the letter and then gave her a large bottle of medicine. Finally Mrs. Black still had no idea whether her friend would come to have dinner or not.

Dear Wang Fang,
Thank you so much for your kind invitation to spend the summer holidays with you. It was very good of you to invite me, but I'm sorry to say that I shall not be able to go. I will tell you why. First of all, my mother is seriously ill. And my father is always busy with his work. I shall have to look after my mother and do some housework.
