59、Dear John，I am really sorry to hear that you feel bad after entering high school. Id like to talk about it with you.In fact, in your high school, your classmates are also new students and facing the same problem, so you dont have to worry too much about it. There is also something that you can do to

60、 change this situation. First, try to invite some of your classmates to take part in some activities together after school. This will help you understand each other better. Then, help your classmates when they are in trouble and turn to them for help when you have difficulty.I believe you will make

61、many new friends and have a happy school life there.Yours，Li Hua【读后续写】Paragraph 1：Mama explained to me that those toys were for poor children. She took me by the hand and showed me around our house and said that we had a house to live in and that we had enough to eat. Above all, we had a family and

Mama was long gone. But her words have stayed with me all the time.【解析】这是一篇读后续写。1.第一段给出的首句是Mama explained to

64、me that those toys were for “poor” children.这一句是故事发展的转折点。可以从“她拉着我的手，带我参观了我们的房子，说我们有房子住，我们有足够的食物。”入手扩展开去，无论从何角度拓展，需注意与续写第二段首句呼应。2.第二段所给首句Mrs. Harper said she understood what mama meant.这一句呼应前文，紧接着可以从“放学后，她带我和我的一些同学到街上分发那些玩具。”入手续写。【点睛】这篇续写，段落衔接紧密，语句环环相扣，层次清晰，文中使用高级句子。She took me by the hand and showed

65、 me around our house and said that we had a house to live in and that we had enough to eat.句中使用并列的宾语从句；But there were many children who didnt.定语从句用在句中；When I saw the smiles on the faces of those homeless children, I began to understand what mama had told me.句中使用when引导的时间状语从句和what引导的宾语从句。听力原文：Text 1W
