1. One day, Tom received a letter from a foreign country. 有一天,汤姆收到了一封国外的信。
2. It reads: Today is my fifth day to the state of Is- rael. I went to the border of this country and Jordan. I had a swim in the lake. You always laughed me as a landlubber. But this time I did a good job! I found swimming enjoyable. 信的内容是这样的:今天是我来到以色列的第5天,我去了这个国家和约旦接壤的国界附近,在那里的湖中痛快地游了一次泳。以前,你们一直嘲笑我是一个旱鸭子,可这一次我的表现实在是太棒了!我发现游泳真的是一种享受。
