I am happy to receive your letter and I am glad to hear that you have good days recently. I hope you can keep your happiness all the time. But I am not happy these days, because I feel great pressures. Two weeks ago, I caught a cold and then had a fever. I could do nothing in those days. Therefore, I asked for leave for four days to stay at home. I came back to school until the midterm examination. I was not surprised that I did not do well in the exam. It makes me unhappy. I worked so hard to prepare for it. My parents comfort me that I would be better if I had not been ill. I hope I can recover soon. And I hope you can take good care of yourself.

　　sincerely yours,

　　Kate

　　親愛(ài)的貝蒂：

　　我很開(kāi)心收到你的來(lái)信，得知你最近過(guò)得不錯(cuò)我很高興。我希望你可以一直保持快樂(lè)。但是我這些天不怎么開(kāi)心，因?yàn)槲矣X(jué)得壓力很大。兩個(gè)星期前，我感冒發(fā)燒，什么都不能做。因此，我請(qǐng)了四天假待在家里，期中考試的時(shí)候才回學(xué)校。我并不奇怪沒(méi)有考好。這使得我很不開(kāi)心。我這么努力準(zhǔn)備考試。我父母安慰我說(shuō)如果沒(méi)生病的話(huà)我一定會(huì)考得更好的。我希望我能快點(diǎn)恢復(fù)，也希望你照顧好自己。

　　凱特
