80. Writing 3. Letter (TSA 06, 10) 16 July 20XX Dear Gloria,
Thank you for your letter. I am fine. Your graduation party sounds great. I think you must be very happy.
I also had a graduation party last week. We had food and drinks first. Then we played some games. I won a pencil case. After that the headmaster gave us a speech. He told us to work hard in the future.
  I enjoyed the last part most. Each class had a performance. Our class had a performance to thank the teachers. Our class made some flowers and sang a song for our teachers. It was touching but I felt great. I will miss everything in my school.
  Please write soon.
Love,
Jenny

84. Writing 5. Article (TSA 09, 11) I wrote
a passage about sports. I chose this topic
because I love every moment of doing sports.
The reason for joining the writing competition
is my passion for sports as well as writing. I
like them both very much. I am extremely
excited about winning the book coupons. I will
spend the book coupons on some books about
sports as I love reading books about sports too.
Hopefully, there will be another writing
competition very soon, so I can produce more
good pieces of writing.
