It was a nice winter day. After dinner, Ms. Lee checked (查看) her e-mails as usual. One e-mail caught her eye. It was from Mary, a girl who sat at the back of the classroom. She answered questions a lot in class.
Ms. Lee,
I love you and your classes. They are always interesting and full of surprises, Wish you a good holiday! Well, Steve, Ella and I want to improve our English during the holidays. We've no idea what to do. Any good advice?
Stopping here, Ms. Lee began to think carefully. "Steve spends lots of time remembering words, but always forgets most of them quickly! Ella didn't do well in the final exam. She has to go over her lessons a lot. Mary will go to a writing competition. She needs to read more and improve her writing in a short time."
Just then, her phone rang. It was a message from her best friend, an English teacher in another middle school. Her friendsuggesteda trip to Hong Kong. Ms. Lee told her she was available, but she didn't feel like going because she still had no idea how to help her students. Her friend laughed and soon sent her a picture with a QR code (二维码) in it. "It's all you want," "her friend said. Ms. Lee scanned (扫描) the code and found it was an English homework project for the coming winter holidays from English Weekly. As she read it, there appeared a big smile on her face.
