8 March
I just got a parcel from home！ It took about two weeks to arrive，and it was a bit damaged，but it was so nice to get some sweets and jam from home；I've been dying
tosunny days have some of my favourite sweets，and it's always nice to get mail！(1)
(1)句中but连接表示转折关系的并列句，其中and连接表示顺承关系的并列句，it为形式主语，真正的主语为后面的动词不定式短语。
So I've been here in the jungle for about a month now.My condary school is a bush school.The classrooms are made of bamboo，with clay floors and roofs of grass.It takes me only a few minutes to walk to school down a dusty track covered in weeds(2)．When I reach the school grounds(3)，I'm greeted by a chorus of “good morning” from the boys.Unlike students in our country，the boys do not wear cotton uniforms，and many of them also have to walk a long way，sometimes for up to two hours，just to get to school.

There's no electricity，running water or even textbooks，not to mention laptops，tabl
ets，or other modern devices! All the students have are pencils，rubbers，and paper.I'm still trying to adapt to the conditions.I've had to become much more imaginative in my teaching.Science is my most challenging subject as my students have no concept of doing experiments(4)．There is no equipment，and since there isn't even a washroom，if I need water I have to carry it from my hou in a basin！(5) It's important not to be too rigid about rules here，too.The other day I was showing the boys a chemistry experiment when，before I knew it，the mixture was bubbling out of the test tube spilling everywhere！(6) The class became a circus as the boys，who had never come across anything like this before(7)，started jumping out of the windows.Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry is to the students(8)—few will ever become chemists—and most will be going back to their villages after Year 8 anyway.To be honest，I doubt whether I'm making any difference to星期四英语怎么说 the boys' lives at all(9)．

Last weekend I made my first visit to a remote village，home to one of our students，Tombe.Another teacher and I walked for two and a half hours to get there—first，up a mountain from where we had fantastic views (10)，and then down a shaded paththaad to the valley below.When we arrived at the village，Tombe's mother(11)上海英孚英语培训，Kiak，saw us coming and started crying “ieee ieee”．We shook hands with all the villagers.Everyone emed to be related to Tombe.
(10)from where引导定语从句，修饰先行词a mountain。
(11)when引导时间状语从句。
Tombe's father，Mukap，a man with a strong jaw and a wrinkled forehead，led us to his hou，a low，round bamboo hut with no windowsocus，with a door just big enough to get through，and with grass sticking out of the roof—this shows it is a man's hou(12)．Such housing is dark inside so it took time for our eyes to adjust.Fresh grass had been laid on the floor and there was a platform for Jenny and me to sleep on.There was a fireplace in the centre of the hut.The only posssions I could e(13) were one broom，a few saucers，a kettle，cups，pansthirteen，and a couple of jars.
