Passage 1
Kate lives in a tall building in the city of Richmond with her parents. Her home is on the eighteenth floor. There are many tall buildings around hers. When Kate gets up in the morning， she often sees the sun coming up from the top of the tall building next to hers.①
Kate has a good friend called Mary. They study in the same class. But Mary lives on a farm outside the city with her grandparents. The farm is near a river at the foot of the hills. There are many apple trees around her house. Mary likes watching the sun going down behind the hills far away.
One day Kate and Mary are talking about the sun. Kate says， “When I see the sun coming up from the top of that tall building， I know a good day begins.” But Mary says， “Oh， no. Youre wrong. The sun doesnt come up from a tall building. It comes up from some tall trees， and it goes down behind the hills.”

Dear Roni，
Italy is wonderful. We started in Rome two weeks ago， drove to Florence last week and now were on our way to Venice. Three weeks just isnt enough.
The country near Florence is so beautiful—hills， olive trees. And red roofs of the house look so nice far away.
I am afraid I am getting fatter—the food here is so delicious！①
love， Akemi

Hi Roni，
I cant believe you went to school here in Honolulu！ Why did you leave？
I spend each morning on the beach and in the water.The sand is soft and the beaches seem so long.The water is just the right temperature.
One afternoon， I left the beach to walk in mountains near Honolulu. I enjoyed myself very much there.
How I miss you！
Mari

Dear Roni，
Maybe Im strange but I love the desert！
Last week our group spent four days in the desert. At times， it felt like the moon.
I always thought deserts were all the same！ They are not. Some parts look like mountains， and others are really different.
And when we find something green—a few palm trees， a little water， we feel good and great.
See you in September.
Kim
