Letter to A Friend
Dear John
How are you? How did you spend your summer? Did you go anywhere? For me, it is an unforgetable summer. I spent two weeks in Japan. The trip is a birthday gift from my parents. Let me share with you some unlucky experiences that I had in Tokyo.
I left Hong Kong on the first of August with my parents and my little sister. We brought our luggage to the airport. The luggage was checked in two hours before we boarded onto the plane. The plane was very full that day.
After four hours, we arrived Tokyo Airport. At the airport, we waited for nearly three hours to claim our luggage. Unfortunately, one of the luggage briefcase was missing. We were told by the air line staff the luggage would be sent to our hotel if they found it.
We waited for a whole day but the airline did not call us. It was very disappointing. We couldn't go out for my birthday party. We all had to spend the day in the hotel. To make thing worse, most of the tickets were in the lost briefcase.
I think it is surely an unpleasant experience. I'll tell you the details when I am back to Hong Kong.
See you soon!
Yours
Alvin

Golf Playing
I love golf playing. Golf playing is interesting to me. I play golf twice a month with my father. My father is good at it. He instructs me how to do the swing. Swinging is the basic skill that I must learn before I can learn other golf skills.
I think golf playing is an interesting game because it is not difficult to learn but it is difficult to be very good at it. It also requires patience. Without patience, we can never be good at it.
I believe we must also practice playing golf regularly. I play golf twice a month but my father plays more frequently. So he can play better than me. I enjoy talking with my father when we play together.
There are a number of skills and rules in golf playing. I have learned swinging the golf ball for about one year. Playing the ball from the teeing ground into a hole by a stroke or successive strokes will take me another year.
Anyway, I really enjoy playing golf. It helps me become more patience. I also make new friends. I believe I will be better at playing golf if I continue playing golf with my father.

Superstition Belief
My grandparents were born in China. They moved to Hong Kong when they got married. But they have some beliefs that are superstitious to us. We think their thoughts are not always based on reason. One of the superstitious things that we don't believe in is the worship of ancestors.
