C

My aunt and uncle sent me an unforgettable birthday present from their trip to last year. It was a big bottle of shampoo. At first, I thought it was great. It smelt good, like flowers and honey, and it did a great job of cleaning my hair. But as soon as I went outside, a bee started to follow me. Then another bee joined in, and very soon, a large number of bees were flying after me around the garden. The bees like the smell of my shampoo. I ran and jumped into my neighbour’s swimming pool. I stayed under water as long as I could. When I climbed out of the pool, I quickly looked around. The bees were gone. I ran straight home, hoping there were no more bees waiting for me nearby. That night, I called my neighbour and apologized for jumping into his pool. Then I wrote my aunt and uncle a nice thank-you letter. But I never used that shampoo again.

第四部分：

Dan Carter is my best friend. We met when we were 5 years old because our parents were friends and we went to the same school. He lives in London now. He works as a teacher at the international school there. So I only see him in the summer when he comes home to visit his family. Of course, we stay in touch by email and sometimes we call each other. He is important to me because he knows me so well. When I feel sad or when I need to talk to somebody, I can always call him. Recently, I had friend problems and he made me feel better. He’s a really good listener. He just lets you talk and he listens. But he isn’t prefect. He is always late for everything, and he never says sorry, never! One day, last summer, we arranged to meet at seven to play football, but he didn’t come on time. He arrived at half past nine. It was nearly dark! Oh, well, nobody’s perfect, are they? Last time I saw him at Christmas. We had a great time. We always have a great time.
