Dear Ivan,
How's life? I know you must be very busy these days since it's the beginning of the term.
I hope you are not too tired and still have time for yourself. I found that the school here is exciting too. I have made a lot of friends, I'll tell you about them later on my next e-mail.
I have a new hobby now. Planting! You won't believe it, I grow so many kinds of fruit -here such as guava, mango, orange, and dragon fruit. I usually buy the seed at a nearby shop. I'm crazy about planting now. I guess because it's so easy to get the seeds or young plants, and the soil here seems so nice to plants. Everything grows easily here. I own a small farm behind my house. I love my farm. It's about two hundreds square meter. My little brother helps me at the farm. We make a great team.
Well, I promise to send you some fruits when they are ripe someday and let me now how they taste.
Bye!

An ant nimbly running in search of food came across a chrysalis that was close its time to change. The chrysalis moved and this attracted the attention of the ant who for the first time realized that it was a living thing. "Poor, pitiable animal!", cried the ant disdainfully "what a sad fate is yours! While I can run with my pleasure, you lie imprisoned here in your shell". The chrysalis heard all this, but did not try to make any reply.

Wondering what had happened to its content, he felt himself suddenly shaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful butterfly. "Behold in me," said the butterfly, "your much pitied friend!". So the butterfly rose in the air and lost in the summer breeze.

They talked about it for a long time and at last they set off to the city.
It was a hot day, and they soon began to feel tired. They had only gone a little way when one said to the other, "we must be nearly there, can you see the city?" "No," said the other frog, "but if I climb on your back I might be able to see it."
So he climbed up on the back of the other frog to see the city.
Now when the frog put up his head, his eyes could only see what was behind. And not what was in the front. So he saw the village they had just left. "Can you see the city?" asked the frog who was below. "Yes," answered the frog who had climbed up." I can see it. It looks just like our village."
Then the frogs thought that it was not worthwhile going any further. They went back and told the frogs in the village that they had seen the city, and it was just like theirs.

Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate animals. This means that unlike fish
or people, they have no backbones. In fact, they have no bones at all.
Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous systems for sensing the world around them, but no brains. They are made almost entirely of water, which is why you can look through them.
Some jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is made by a chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for several reasons. For example, they may glow to scare away predators or to attract animals they like to eat.
Most jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh water. Jellyfish are found in oceans and seas all over the world. They live in warm, tropical seas and in icy waters near the North and South poles.
