Letter 2: Selena's birthday party

Dear Tim, this is Melody!

Summer is longer and longer now, starts in early May, and it ends late. Typhoon could be in any season, but most of the time it's only in summer, I remembered last year when winter was going to begin, there's still a typhoon! I feel like Spring and Fall only stay about two weeks, after this, the weather change a lot.

" The sight of all the peaceful wild creatures in the neighborhood is one of the things that make Iowa, well, Iowa. " This would never happened in Taipei, at least I had never seen creatures in the neighborhood. If I have a big yard as your brother has, I would like to keep a deer as a pet, too, and I'll grow some vegetables for myself. The pace in IOWA seems very slow, people have lots of time to do what they like, watering the flower in the morning, walking the dog in city parks after work. Leisurely and elegant.

Letter 1: My Summer Vacation

Ça fait longtemps Tim!

At the beginning of my summer vacation, I went to a camp which was held by our school, it's for the leaders of school club. Most of the people I hadn't met before, but we had to stay with each other and sleep together at night. At first, I thought everyone would be shy, the situation would make me feel embarrassed, but I was totally WRONG. People are out-going, we worked together to pass challenges. The activity which made me the most impressive is to " jump off the tower ". I always want to do challenging things, this time is a good chance for me. The tower is three-floor-high, the part almost made me scream is the most when I jumped down, you would feel like your body and your heart was separated, the body had already fell off but your heart was still up there. At that night, my roommate and I planned to wake up at three to watch the stars. I swear, this is the first time I saw the sky was pink and covered with stars, it's amazing! 

After being back from the camp, I set a goal, I had to exercise regular, and I reach it! I went to the gym three times a week, two days jogging and the other day riding flywheel with my mom, we take a course. She had never done any exercise since she born me, she take a big stride forward. The advantages I got is 3 kilograms left, I'm really proud of this, my skin become better, and I am more spiritual. If you're in a bad mood, go jogging is a good choice.
