Dear Mary,

Thank you for your last letter. I’m happy to know that you will spend your holiday in Hawaii（夏威夷）this summer. You said you wanted to know something about Hawaii.

Hawaii is always a magic（有魔力的）name to people who like traveling because of the scenery（景色）. People from allover the world dream of seeing the beautiful islands. It’s always one of their dreams to watch the sun going down. At weekends, my family and I often watch the sunset（ 日落 ）at the seaside. It’s really exciting.

Hawaii is a fun place to go. Long long ago, the first people went to Hawaii in a small boat. They found the place quite beautiful. But it was difficult for travelers to go to Hawaii at that time . And there were no big hotels like the ones today. Now things have changed. Lots of nice big hotels have been built in recent（最近的）years. However, the nice scenery in Hawaii hasn’t changed much. In the morning, many visitors often take a walk along the water in. At night, they get together to hold parties, chatting and dancing.

Now, you see Hawaii is really a good place to visit. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.

Yours

Kate

I hope you’re well. I’m on holiday in London with my friend Jenny. We arrived by plane on Monday and took a taxi to our hotel. I went for a walk in Hyde Park but Jenny didn’t come with me because she was tired.

Then on Tuesday we saw the clock, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace. Queen Elizabeth lives in the Palace, but we didn’t see her! I bought some presents but Jenny didn’t buy anything!

The next day we visited the British Museum and had dinner in a Chinese restaurant!

On Thursday morning we relaxed. Then we went to Tower Bridge on the River Thames and looked at the city. It’s very big!

Finally today I did some shopping and Jenny listened to a concert in the park. I came back to the hotel and read the newspaper. Then I wrote some postcards and sent some e-mails. I took lots of photos and I’m sending them with this e-mail to you!

Tomorrow we’re going to fly home. It was a short holiday, but it was great! Say hello to your mum and dad.

Love,

（2021·上海·上外附中八年级期中）An old song says that “love makes the world go around”. If you watch Americans on Valentine’s Day, you can believe it. The whole country breaks out with little red hearts. Love-struck people give cards, flowers and candy to their sweethearts. You might call it an annual celebration of love.

The American concept of love and romance begins with dating. Young people date in several ways. At first they might have group dates with several boys and girls together. Later, they start going on single date — just one boy and one girl. Sometimes a boy and a girl will go to see a film. Maybe they will go to a party at a friend’s house. Or they might go out to eat.

A friend might even arrange a blind date for you with someone you don’t know. That doesn’t mean you keep your eyes closed the whole evening! You just don’t know who your partner will be until the time of the date. If someone asks you out on any kind of date, and you don’t want to go, you may politely say, “No, thanks.”

Americans view dating differently from people in other countries. American young people see a date as a time just to have fun. They don’t always have a romantic interest in mind. Someone may go out with one person this week, and another the next. After a while, a boy and a girl may decide they want to go steady. This means they think of each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. It also means they don’t want to date anyone else. Romance begins to bloom.

Romance love is very much a part of American culture. Movies, TV shows and books in America all picture people falling in love. Americans know no romance is perfect, but still they try to find the ideal person. Actually, love is a part of every culture, not just American culture. People all over the world search for happiness in a loving relationship. Maybe love does make the world go around.

Please answer the following questions in COMPLETE sentences.

31．In America, what do people give to their sweethearts on Valentine’s Day?

32．Young people in America date in different ways, don’t they?
