兒子寫了從小喜歡的《貓武士》，老師給了95分，同樣張貼在校內(nèi)。

Dear Erin Hunter

I hope you are doing well. Into the Wild was the first book that I read by you. It made a great impression on the third grade me, and later I finished all of the books in the Warriors series. However, after reading them, it made me have no time in reading more of your books.

Rusty once lived in a cozy barn with his kind owner who gave him a sweet home to live in and enough food for him to eat. One day, he saw a few deliberate wild cats outside the barn. They were the members of Thunderclan with the leader out patrolling. He was deeply affected by the way the wild cats lived and wanted to become one as well. However, with his type of physical fitness and knowledge, he was unworthy of becoming a clan member, but Rusty did not give up. He struggled on to prove himself to the powerful clan by showing his adept hunting skills. He also worked hard to learn the abilities that wild cats have that kitty pets don’t. After years of perseverance he finally got the trust of Thunderclan’s leader Bluestar, and started his life as a wild cat.

I loved to play tennis when I was in third grade, and I would train two times each week, and play with my friends in the weekends. I showed great talent in this sport and my coach and parents all approve that I start to train professionally. However, training professionally would require lots of time spent in tough exercises and I would have less time to do what I want to do. In the book, Rusty sacrificed his rather comfortable life at the barn, learned hard to master the ways of wild cats, and joined the clan, so I felt that if Rusty can do it as a cat, then I am able to leave my comfort zone and put efforts in my daily training.

I also had a bad habit of staying in bed for a long time and then getting up, and eating whatever I want. Later, I am able to get up early and run for a mile to improve my body fitness, before I eat a healthier breakfast with all the nutrients my body requires. Now I have pushed myself to run 3 miles and I am able to eat much more than before.  I didn't eat a small piece of cake and drink water only ever since. Matches are important parts of a tennis player. I took tennis matches every week, and sometimes I have to travel to another city to play the games. In the same time, I also got more focused on my studies,and pushed myself to score higher grades, and apply for honor math class and literature calss.

Even though I have great love towards the books you wrote, but I know reading a variety of books is beneficial. I am reading traditional literature, realistic fiction,poetry,biography, and that makes it hard for me to continue reading more of your books.

The book Into the Wild in the Warriors series made me be able to restart my life with a better start, and encouraged me in times when I wanted to quit. Although Warriors is a book for children smaller than my age, I will always love this set of fiction books no matter how old I am.

Sincerely, Wxxx

親愛(ài)的艾琳亨特，我希望你一切都好。

 Into the Wild 是我讀的你的第一本著作。三年級(jí)的時(shí)候給我留下了深刻的印象，后來(lái)我讀完了勇士系列的所有書。然而，讀完書后，我卻沒(méi)有時(shí)間去讀你的著作了。

 Rusty 曾經(jīng)和他的主人住在一個(gè)??谷倉(cāng)里，主人給了他一個(gè)舒適的家和足夠的食物供他吃。一天，他在谷倉(cāng)外看到了幾只貓。他們是帶著首領(lǐng)在外面巡邏的雷族成員。他深受野貓生活方式的影響，也想成為其中的一員。不過(guò)，以他這種體質(zhì)和知識(shí)，不配成為氏族成員，但拉斯蒂并沒(méi)有放棄。他努力通過(guò)展示自己的狩獵技巧向氏族證明自己。他還努力學(xué)習(xí)野貓具有小貓寵物沒(méi)有的能力。經(jīng)過(guò)幾天的努力，他終于得到了雷族首領(lǐng)藍(lán)星的信任，開(kāi)始了他的野貓生活。

我在三年級(jí)的時(shí)候喜歡打網(wǎng)球，每周訓(xùn)練兩次，周末和其他朋友一起打球。我在這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)中表現(xiàn)出了極大的天賦，我的老師和父母都同意我開(kāi)始專業(yè)訓(xùn)練。但是，專業(yè)培訓(xùn)需要大量時(shí)間花在艱苦的培訓(xùn)上，而我想做的事情就更少了。書中，Rusty犧牲了自己在谷倉(cāng)里安逸的生活，努力學(xué)習(xí)掌握野貓之道，加入了氏族，所以我覺(jué)得如果Rusty能像貓一樣做到，那我就可以離開(kāi)我的舒適了區(qū)域并為我的訓(xùn)練而努力。我還有一個(gè)壞習(xí)慣，就是在床上躺了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，然后起床，想吃什么就吃什么。后來(lái)，我可以早起跑一英里來(lái)改善我的身體健康，然后再吃一頓更健康的早餐，里面有我身體所需的所有營(yíng)養(yǎng)。現(xiàn)在我已經(jīng)推動(dòng)自己跑了 3 英里，而且我能吃得比以前多得多。這真的改變了我在變老之前的生活，因?yàn)槲液茈y改變我的習(xí)慣。我也更加專注于我的學(xué)習(xí)，并推動(dòng)自己取得更高的成績(jī)，并申請(qǐng)榮譽(yù)課程。雖然我很喜歡你寫的書，但是學(xué)習(xí)上還要讀傳統(tǒng)文學(xué)和現(xiàn)實(shí)主義小說(shuō)等各種書籍，這讓我很難繼續(xù)閱讀更多你的書。這本書讓我能夠以更好的開(kāi)始重新開(kāi)始我的生活，并在我想退出的時(shí)候鼓勵(lì)我。雖然《勇士》是一本給比我年齡小的孩子看的書，但無(wú)論我多大，我都會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)喜歡這套小說(shuō)。
