In order to improve my oral English, I have been looking for the opportunity to communicate with native speakers of English. Receiving exchange students is a wonderful chance for me.
My parents and I are now living in a flat with three bedrooms and two living rooms. So we have a spare room for one or two exchange students. My mother is a warn-hearted woman who likes kids very much and is quite good at cooking. We will prepare a lot of delicious traditional Chinese food for the exchange students and I’ll show them my collections of stamps and coins. And we will also chat with them about the different cultures and customs of the two countries.
I believe they will have a good time in my family and hope that you will give me the chance. Sincerely Yours
Li Hong

She then bought me lots of interesting books, from fairy tales to collections of essays. From time to time, she took me to travel with her in the country and open my eyes to so many new things, which I would not have otherwise seen.
Mother devotes most of her time and energy to our family. Immediately after coming back from work every work，she keeps herself busy around the apartment, cleaning, washing and cooking. Our happiness is her greatest joy; our achievements are her greatest pride. We can never forget how bravely she acted the day Grandma passed away.
My respect for Mother grows with time. She is my most beloved person in the world.

1．
The picture above shows that a junior school student is working assiduously late
in the midnight while his mother is bringing in some snack so as to urge him to study
harder.
It goes without saying that the students nowadays are under a tremendous burden
on their studies. All the parents have become a great drain on both the parents and the

students’energies.
As the saying goes, “ All roads lead to Rome.” Being admitted to a famous
university is not the only access to a promising future. Nor does it necessarily mean a successful life. Also, working hard is not equal to exerting oneself round the clock. In the meantime, parents should pay more attention to their children’s abilities rather than their grades.
I firmly believe that through mutual efforts and understanding, the parents and
students will lead a more colourful life

How to Narrow the Generation Gap
As we approach adulthood, we often find that we think differently from our parents on a number of issues. Such differences are called generation gap. Some people argue that the gap is enviable, but I hold the opinion the gap can be narrowed if both our parents and we try.
First of all, we should often communicate with our parents. We can tell them what we are thinking of, what we are worried about, or what we are puzzled at.
At the same time, parents should have tolerance of our imperfection. As is known to all, no one can avoid making mistakes and no one can always get the best results.
Last but not least, parents and we should respect each other. Thus, the family will live in harmony and thrive.
In brief, if parents and we can do what have been mentioned above, generation gap can be undoubtedly narrowed.
