Dear Sir or Madam,

       With so many students going or having gone to study abroad in our school, Weiwei Tang is among the few for whom writing a letter of recommendation is really a pleasure.

       I first saw her when I worked as a tutor teacher（班主任）of a class in the third year of its senior high school. That day ,I was on the playground supervising the morning exercises of my class .Next to mine were the classes of the freshmen .Among them was a girl ,to whom the morning excises of our school seemed totally alien（陌生的）. She didn’t seem to be worried or embarrassed ,but she exercised to the music ,copying the moves of her classmates. Her confidence impressed me.

       Later ,when I was watching an English talent show in our school, I saw the girl again. She was hosting the program .That time, her beautiful spoken English struck me .Later on , I learnt from other teachers of English that she often did such jobs on similar occasions.

       In 2006 ,when they became grade three students, I was in charge of English teaching of two classes ,one of which was Class 11 ,and the girl became one of my students. Facing the College Entrance Exam, they were going to pass one of the hardest years of their life. Though Weiwei Tang didn’t top the class in academic performance ,two of her individualities contributed to my pleasure of writing this very letter .For one thing ,she was definitely among the students who were often around the teachers ,communicating ideas and asking questions; for another ,her confidence wasn’t lessened by the pressure from going to an idea college.

       Her active participation in various campus activities may have contributed a lot to her being so friendly to others and so communicative.

       When she told me of her plan to study abroad and her TOFEL grade ,I didn’t feel it unexpected ,because I believe that is what she should do—facing more challenges and creating more chances .Her confident smiles deserve more.

                                                                                                      Sincerely yours,

                                                                                                      Kane Shaw

                                                                      English teacher of her senior year of high school

       C．She once found a purse with several thousand yuan in it and helped find the owner.

On the afternoon before his wedding day this fall, Hamid was sitting in an empty teahouse holding a glass of green tea between his fingers, his brow folded in worry and anxiety .That’s the cost of his wedding. In Afghanistan, one of the poorest countries in the world, bridegrooms are expected to pay not only for their weddings ,but also all the related expenses, including several huge pre-wedding parties and money for the bride’s family ,known as the bride price. The bridegroom is also responsible for jewelry ,flowers ,two dresses for the bride, two suits for himself ,a visit to the beauty salon for the bride and her closest female relatives ,as well as a sound system for the wedding , a photographer and a video team with a pair of cameramen. All that can run a middle-class Afghan man on average $ 20,000.

       Hamid ,a midlevel bureaucrat in the Afghan government who supports his six-member family on a salary of $ 7,200 per year ,said his bill was going to top $ 12,000. And by Afghan standards, that would be considered normal, or even a bargain.

       “Sometimes it’s difficult to think about it ,” said Hamid ,30 , “It’s a lot of responsibility. “After that the bridegrooms and their families are left with bills that put them into heavy debts .Even the poor must do that. A laborer ,for instance ,making about the average income of $ 350 per year, may well spend more than $ 2,000 for his wedding.

       Hamid’s wedding ceremony opened at the East Diamond Wedding Hall in Kabul ,in two vast banquet rooms, one for the men and the other for the women . Islamic custom dictates that the sexes be separated .Dressed in a white suit ,he was smiling and seemed happy. “In our country, the wedding is a big problem—until you’re done with it. “Hamid’s father, a lifetime civil servant who makes $ 100 a month, also seemed  relieved and joyful .Asked how he felt about the money 30 times his monthly salary ,he replied: “It was good! I’m extremely happy!” The payment ,he explained ,allowed the marriage to happen. “Only a memory is left,” he said. “A memory of happiness.”

       Like most Afghan bridegrooms, Hamid had to empty his savings ,borrow money . They had all saved in anticipation of the event ,much like a Chinese family might prepare years in advance for college tuitions . After the wedding, he was going to be left with $ 2,000 in debt ,which he expected to pay off within five months .But it is not so easy for many other young Afghan men.
