Dear Tamara,
Hi there. How are things with you? It’s good to know that you are doing fine in business. Have you received
my postcard?
I am now sitting in my hotel room writing a letter to you about my wonderful holiday. I think this is the
most wonderful holiday I have ever had. There are a lot of interesting tourist objects to visit, beautiful local
art and craft, tasty traditional food, and much more. It’s Thursday today. I can’t believe this my last day. I
wish I could spend more time here. I am certain I will stay longer on my next visit.
I’ll be home about 3 p.m. tomorrow if the flight is on time. On Monday I must go back to work. I can’t wait
to show my video to my class.
Okay, that’s all for now. Send my love to your children.

Aunty, I have some good news for you. Last month I passed my final examination. A week ago I
succeeded to join in a senior high school English competition. Last night my parents promised to send
me to a famous English course in my town. They also promised me if my scores in English are good,
they’ll send me to a foreign university. Great, isn’t it? I’ll work hard. I want to be a great pediatrician
like you, Aunty.
Well, that’s all for now. Looking forward to having your news.
Love

Silkworms live for only two or three days after laying eggs. About 36,000 to 50,000 eggs are laid,
and these are carefully stored at the silkworm farm until they are ready to hatch. The eggs hatch into
caterpillars, which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon, the caterpillars are ready to spin their cocoons. Not all
caterpillars can spin silk cocoons. Only the caterpillars of a silkworm moth known as ‘Bombyx mari’ can
do such spinning. This caterpillar has special glands which secrete liquid silk through its lower lip. The
liquid produced later hardens to form tine strands.
The caterpillar makes its cocoons using these strands. The threads on the outside of the cocoon are
rough, while those inside are soft and smooth.
Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the pupa inside. The cocoons are then put into hot
water to loosen the fine threads. Finally, these threads are reeled off the cocoons.
The length of unbroken thread produced by a single cocoon measures about one-and-a-half
kilometers. Being twisted together several of these threads make single woven materials.
