Ⅴ. Answer the questions.
Dear May,
How are you doing? Let me tell you something about American families. Many of them live busy lives. Some do not have time to eat meals together more than once a week. Our housing estate decided that it was time to have a rest.
After 7 months of planning, our estate took one night off. They called it “Family Night”, a night for families to spend time together. On Family Night, families agreed to turn off TV, and not to answer the telephone. They ordered take-out pizza instead of spending time cooking. Among the activities, the most popular ones are board and card games. Playing them brought the family members closer. We enjoyed the fun without doing housework or homework. Some shared interesting stories about school and work lives. Others went outdoors and lay on the grass, looking at the dark sky with blinking stars. What a relaxing and fun night we had! We hope to have more “Family Nights”.

Yours sincerely,
Tim
