Chapter 1 June

"Ah Gan:

How are you? It's been some time since I last wrote to you, about two weeks, I think?

Lately, I've been busy reviewing and preparing for the end-of-semester tests, so I couldn't reply promptly to your letter.

Time flies so quickly, this is the sixth letter I've written to you, and more than three months have passed since we first met.

The war between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the Falklands Islands, in the Atlantic, has already ended.

War is said to be cruel. If all wars in the world could be replaced by sports competitions, there would be winners and no bloodshed.

However, I don't know much about war; I just hear about it at school. It seems like something boys are more interested in.

The World Cup in Spain has started. It would be so much better if the UK and Argentina could settle their differences in a football match instead of going to war.
