Dear Mia,
How are you? Our new term started two weeks ago. This year I have five classes every weekday and one test every month.
My older sister just went to college, so our room is quiet now. I miss her, but she comes home on weekends.
You said you write a weekly diary. I want to try that, too. Please send me a photo of your school.
Yours,
Ruby
親愛的米雅：
你好嗎？我們的新學期兩個星期前開始了。今年我平日每天有五堂課，每個月有一次考試。
我姐姐剛上大學，所以我們的房間現在很安靜。我很想她，不過她週末會回家。
你說你會寫每週日記。我也想試試看。請寄一張你學校的照片給我。
魯比敬上
Long ago, people had no clocks. They looked at the moon to measure time. The moon changes its shape in about thirty days, and this period became our month.
People also watched the sun. The Earth goes around the sun in about 365 days, and that is the length of a year.
In the past, farmers used these ideas to plan their work. Today we still use them every day.
很久以前，人們沒有時鐘。他們看月亮來測量時間。月亮大約三十天改變一次形狀，這段期間就成了我們的一個月。
人們也觀察太陽。地球大約 365 天繞太陽一圈，這就是一年的長度。
在過去，農夫用這些概念來安排工作。今天我們每天仍然在使用它們。
