Dear Jackie.

On Saturday, we visited the top of Victoria Peak. The view from the top was incredible! l could see all of Hong Kong. There were also some nature trails(观景小路)on the peak(山顶). We went for a short walk and then had lunch in the afternoon.

In the evening, I went with two friends to the Temple Street Night Market. The streets were full of people selling food, clothes, watches, bags, electronics(电器), and lots of other things. I bought some souvenirs(礼物) to bring home. It was really a great day!

Yesterday, our group went to Disneyland (yes, there's one here)! The park was crowded, and the lines for rides were long. I waited an hour to go on Space Mountain. That was my favourite!

Like many people, I have no clear idea about heroes. At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.

Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.

A hero does something worth(值得) talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of(高度评价) it. But a hero is not just the person with great power fame(声誉).

A hero has powers (力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests(暗示) they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.

A hero has avisionfrom the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr, Americans might take different buses, cat in different restaurants; go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colours of their skin.

There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.

In the USA, there are many kinds of restaurants.

Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu(菜单) on the counter (柜台),and say what you'd like to cat. You pay the person who brings food to you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There's no need to leave a tip (小费).

In a coffee shop, you sit at the counter or at a table. You don't wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you'd like to cat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier (收银员) as you leave.

In a family restaurant, the waitress shows you where you can sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don't need to tell her your name. If you can't finish eating everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take the rest of food home. You should add fifteen per cent to the bill (账单) as a tip.

In top class restaurants, you had better order before you come, and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine there, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty percent to it as a tip for the waiter.
