It gives me a great pleasureto join you for this important initiative(倡议) as the UN __(1)__ its 70th anniversary.

Education is very __(2)__ in my heart. My father __(3)__ in a very small village in China. In those days, not many villagers could read. So my father opened a night school to teach them how to __(4)__.

As his daughter, I know what education __(5)__ to the people, especially those without it. After generations of hard work，China has come a long way in education. I myself am a beneficiary(受益者) of that progress. __(6)__ I would never become a professor of musical.

I am following my fatherˈs __(7)__ by teaching at Chinaˈs Conservatory of Music to help __(8)__ Chinaˈs success story. I want to thank Director­General Bokova and UNESCO for __(9)__ me the Special Envoy(特使) for Women and Girls Education. I am truly honored to work with the UN and do something about Global Education.

Education is about __(10)__ and girls. It is important for girls to go to school __(11)__ they will become their childrenˈs first teacher someday. But women still __(12)__ over half of the worldˈs poor in population and 60% of adults who canˈt read.

Education is crucial(of extreme importance) in addressing such __(13)__. In China, Spring Bud Education Program has helped over 3 million girls go back to school. Many of them have __(14)_ university education and they are doing well at work.

Education is about equality. In poor countries and regions the number of school dropouts is __(15)_. We call for more educational resources to these places.

Dear Son,

I have been thinking very hard about how your little world is about to change. For two and a half years, our   (1)   have been on you every morning and night,   (2)   your wet hair after you have a bath,   (3)   away every one of your tears when you get   (4)   and cry, and hugging you on the couch.

After tomorrow, you’ll be going from being our little boy to our big boy and a big   (5)   . I still   (6)   becoming a big sister myself: I was almost eight, so it was very   (7)   from the way it will be for you. Your father was 10 when his first sister came along, but   (8)    of us knows what it will be like for you.

I remember how much I   (9)   sharing the love, and I shouted when my brother   (10)  my birthday party. I   (11)   him over and he needed stitches (缝线) to fix the cut above his eyebrow. I was very   (12)   for being so rude to him and I was nicer to him from then on. Your father was much   (13)   and was more patient than I was back then.

I know that this will   (14)   you—for the better, I hope. You have   (15)   told me that you are not a baby any more,   (16)   I can see that you are taking big steps forward into independence. I hope that   (17)   your little sister comes, you will enjoy our new family.

You love to look at the   (18)   of yourself when you were small. They are very sweet memories for us. We had a   (19)   start when you were born, and so your sister’s birth has been organized   (20)  . You rock my world, little man, and I will be holding your hand in mine to take the big jump forward to this new step.

                                                        With all my love,

                                                          Your mummy

Dear Mom and Dad,

     I’d like you to know that I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, such as teaching me, taking care of me and loving me.

     I’m writing this thank-you letter, Mom and Dad, because I want you to know what a big     (1)   you have truly made in my life. You   (2)   me so many things about the world and myself. You were the first ones to tell me about the importance of   (3)   by telling me it was  (4)  to refuse all my other playmates from using my toys. And to this day,  (5)    those toys are long gone, I  (6)  to live by the idea of sharing my blessings with the people    (7)  me.

 Mom and Dad, you also  (8)   me to be sympathetic(同情的) towards the blind old man. You told me that our pets are there for us to   (9)  and not to hurt. And because of those   (10)  , I’ve learnt to be  (11)  .

 Thank you, Mom and Dad. You gave me some of the nicest  (12)  . Mom, I remember how you would let me sleep in your bed and how you  (13)  to bring me my favorite fried chicken and take care of me whenever I was  (14)  . Dad, I remember how you worked  (15)   to make me a playhouse in the yard so my friends and I could  (16)  happily there.

 I may have  (17)  you and your purposes when I was much younger. But now I know that everything you did was for my own  (18)  .

  Mom and Dad, I  (19)  this thank-you letter is enough to let you know how much I   (20)  you for everything you’ve done for me. 

                                                                                                                                                                                    Rex                                                                     

Natasha wrote this letter to an Internet business company: On August 27, 2014, I ordered a Skunk Scooter (踏板车) from your   (1)  . I was very excited when it   (2)   because I bought it with money I saved by doing odd jobs over the summer.   (3)  , I have experienced several   (4)   with my Skunk Scooter.

First of all, the front wheel shakes, making the scooter difficult to steer. Also, it makes a horrible   (5)   as the wheel sways (摇晃) from side to side. It is louder and more   (6)   than a roaring engine. The   (7)   say it will be OK to tighten the screws (螺丝), which my mom and I did. However, tightening the screws did not   (8)  . The scooter is faulty and cannot be   (9)  .

In addition, I cannot adjust the handlebars (车把). According to your website, they can be   (10)   raised to a height of thirty-six inches. This does not seem to be true of the Skunk Scooter I received. The handlebars are   (11)   at thirty inches, and they cannot be raised or   (12)  . It appears that the knob (球形扣) used to adjust the   (13)   is squeezed into the handlebars, which makes it   (14)   to turn in either direction. It is extremely hard to ride a scooter when the handlebars are the wrong height.

  (15)   you advertised the Skunk Scooter as “the quickest, smoothest scooter on the planet,” I’m very disappointed with my   (16)  . Since your website promises a money-back guarantee, I’m requesting a   (17)   refund. I’ve enclosed a copy of my receipt. Please let me know how I should   (18)   the scooter back to you. I know you wouldn’t want   (19)   to keep broken products.

Therefore, I’d like to   (20)   you in advance for taking care of my refund. My refund can be mailed to me at 3260 N. Main Street, Clarks, TN 37040.
