一封家书

今天在收拾房子的时候,发现一封Tristan写给我们的信,可能是他上写作课时的作文:

12-15-11

Dear Mom and Dad,

This Christmas came on us terribly fast. Now, I have just read this terribly great book called Vampirates, and I was wondering if you could spare a few bucks at Scholastic to get the book, I would be honored.

The year has gone fast and I have done extremely great! Haven’t you remembered the time I’ve been responsible by organizing all my books onto the shelf? Or helping my sister fix her bed? Plus, that time when yall got me “The Son of Neptune”, I read through, it like chopping butter with a machete. Also I read all the books you gave to me, for example, Biggest book of Answers and Questions, The Red Pyramid, Super Diaper Baby 2, Cabin Fever, Ugly Truth, so I hope you see my need for books. If I don’t get books then I can get swatted like a bug. F.Y.I. books are important to me!!!

                    Yours Sincerely,

                     Tristan

P.S. Write back on back of paper for a reply please.

P.P.S. I NEED BOOKS!!!

孩子成长的过程中总是充满了惊喜。

管道工

新年假期里完成了一项巨大工程:将家里两个浴室的已经开始朽烂的手龙头换掉。房屋建筑商为了降低成本,用的水龙头的质量都不好,才五年多,水龙头一些部分已经开始朽烂漏水。原来的水龙头是这样的:

花了近两个小时,把旧的水龙头卸掉:

又花了近一个小时,装上了新的水龙头:

有了经验之后,装第二个就快多了:
