I used to love science class—all of them— biology, chemistry, geography or physics. I think I liked those classes because I felt that it helped me understand what the world works. For example, when I was a child, the rain was a mystery. In one class, I learned why it rained. I think science classes clear up mysteries. But then there is always more mysteries look into. What was my least favorite class? That was math. After learn the basics of the subject, Nothing else seemed very practically to me. I never saw how I could use it in my daily life.

Dear Mr. Green
I work in the Friendship Shop on Zhongshan Road where you have often come to buy things. The other day if you bought a vase at our shop with your wife, I made the mistake about the price. You looked at two different
