1、 Dear sir or madam,
I’d like to thank you for the work that you and your organization(组合)are doing to help stop world hunger. 1. I think it’s very important for people to join it. Everyone should play a part in saving food.
I’m Li Hua from China and now I am an eight-grade student in NO. 8 Middle School in Beijing. My family and I used to live in Africa for one year. The people there were so poor, 2. they were not only having no food to eat, but also having little water to drink. I felt very sad to experience that, and then I thought about how wasteful(浪费)many Chinese were.
As a child, I am so lucky. 3. 我不必担心食物。I always have enough delicious food, live in a big house and have beautiful clothes to dress. Many people around us are wasting things everywhere and every day. 4. People waste food because of poor taste. They also throw away clothes due to their old fashion. I can’t solve such a hard problem just by myself. But I really want to do something. 5. 我希望你能给我一些建议。I"ll try my best to help those poor people.
Thank you for your time.
Yours,
Li Hua

21、Where do the colors of your clothes come from? The answer is dye (染料). The clothes we wear today are mainly dyed with chemicals (化学物质). But in the past, people did this by hand and the dyes often came from plants.
With a history of more than 1, 000 years, tie-dye (扎染) is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China. During Tang and Song dynasties (朝代) this skill became so popular that people gave tie-dyed clothes to the emperor as gifts.
To tie-dye, you first need to use threads (线) to tie your cloth together. Then put the cloth into the dye. As the cloth is folded and dyed, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you spread the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patters.
Yang Cheng, 52, is the inheritor (传承人) of tie-dye in Anning, Yunnan. He learned the skill from his mother in the 1980s. Yang has mastered (掌握) all the old skills of tie-dye. And he has handed them down to his daughter. At the same time, Yang has studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. He also tries to make some creative designs. Now, Yang teaches tie-dye in schools and communities. More than 100, 000 people have learned from him.
Some might worry that tie-dye will be replaced by machinery dyeing. But Yang is confident. “At the end of the day, machines can’t replace our creative hands,” said Yang.
