Dear Lura,
How is it going?
Do you still remember my best friend Jerry? When I met him, he was very young. But now he's grown up and has changed a lot. OK, now please listen to the general introduction about his changes.
Jerry used to be (沉默的)，but he didn't get along well with others. He was afraid of meeting strangers and
（很少；不常）talked with them. He was not good at all subjects. He used to hate school. He was even（缺席的）from school from time to time. And sometimes he caused lots of troubles. But now he doesn't fight with other students. Instead, he always helps others. And he also（敢于）to give a speech in public．My friend is so great now that I take（自豪）in him.
And one more thing is that I am really satisfied with my new house. First, the environment is pretty good. Every day I can take a walk in a large garden. It is just（在······旁边）my house． There is even a fountain（喷泉）in the（中央的）part of the garden．Most importantly, there is a parking lot three hundred meters to the（东方）of my new house. So it is quite（方便的） for me to park my car．And my company is only10 minutes' walk from my new house, so I often go to work on foot and I don't need to（仓促）to my office anymore.
I know you finished your art course last month. I'm wondering if you're free this Saturday. I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Michael
