Henry has recently received a letter from Paul, his pen-friend living in Canada. Here is the letter:
Dear Henry,
Thanks very much for your email, which I want to reply to for ages.
I have finished all my exams. The last one was History. It's extremely horrible because our teacher set a lot of long questions but only a few multiple choice items. I think this subject is difficult because there're lots of facts and dates to remember. I've got a poor memory and I hate to remember things. I'm afraid I won't pass the examination.
So this is the end of Year 8, my second year at secondary school. I did eight subjects in total. The worst were History and French. I find them very boring and difficult to learn. I've already forgotten most of the things I was taught! I need to study hard next year.
I liked Geography best this year, but we only had it twice a week. Our Geography teacher, Mr. Hill, is great. He taught the subject very well. He didn't like to spoon-feed students with lots of facts. He preferred to let us learn independently. He didn't give us any homework the whole year. Perhaps he hated doing homework when he's a student!
We did a project with Mr. Hill about several countries in Europe and Asia. Some of my friends went to the library for photos and I used the internet to search for appropriate information. Mr. Hill gave us a lot of valuable advice. At the end of the term, we gave an oral presentation in front of the class. I'd like to be a pilot, then I could travel and see all those places.
I'm going to visit Tokyo with my three classmates next month. We won't stay in a hotel because my uncle has a large house there. You visited ·Tokyo last year, didn't you? Do you think we need to learn some Japanese before our journey? You've told me that Japanese food is delicious, haven't you? We'll have the opportunity to try it ourselves soon! I've saved money for the journey for nearly half a year. We're all very excited about it.
Please tell me about your year at school. Were your exams easy?
Best wishes,
Paul

Of course Paul knew what the boy wanted，but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish，”the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that. ”Paul looked at the boy in surprise，and then he said，“Would you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes，I'd love to.”the boy answered.

Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two stairs are?”the boy asked.
