　　Dear Sara，

　　As we drove off from Columbia，I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.First，I want to tell you how proud we are.Getting into Columbia College shows what a great well-rounded student you are.Your academic，artistic，and social skills have truly blossomed in the last few years.Whether it is getting the highest grade in mathematics，completing your elegant fashion design，successfully selling your painted running shoes，or becoming one of the top speakers in Model United Nations，you have become a talented and accomplished young woman.You should be as proud of yourself as we are.

　　College will be the most important years in your life.It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about.This will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired，after which you must become self-learner.So do take each subject seriously，and even if what you learn isn’t critical for your life，the skills of learning will be important to you forever.

　　Follow your passion in college.Take courses you think you will enjoy.Don’t be trapped in what others think or say.Do your best in classes，but don’t let pressure get to you.Your mother and I have no expectations for your grades.If you graduate and learn something in your four years，we would feel happy.So please don’t give yourself pressure.

　　I told your mom I’m writing this letter，and asked what she wanted me to say.She thought and said：“Just ask her to take care of herself.”Please listen to your mother and take care of yourself.

　　So please treasure your college years，make the best of your free time，and become an independent thinker;learn and grow through your successes and challenges.

　　Love，

　　Dad(& Mom)

　　Christmas in the United States is traditionally a time of gift-giving and family gatherings.But small towns across the country have their own traditions.

　　Middleburg，a small town in the state of Virginia，is known for its horses.For more than 50 years，Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade(游行).Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields.They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox.But first，these hunters ride in the yearly parade，wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.

　　John Hale，a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town.“We have a lot of people from an urban area that come to visit，but it incorporates a lot of the o1d traditions.” The nighttime hay ride is one such tradition.Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon filled with hay.The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.

　　There are some newer traditions，too.Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort.He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day.He says Middleburg can be a calming，peaceful place without tension.

　　“Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back，to take a deep breath，and understand that even though life is moving on at a very fast pace，there’s really an opportunity where you’re allowed to step off for a little bit.”

　　Parade organizers say more than 13，000 people attend even in below-freezing weather. But if you ask，you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade：

　　“I come here because I’m from a small town. I like how everybody comes together.”“I live right down that street;right there.And that’s my dog.”

　　Middleburg looks its best at Christmastime.That may be why so many people return each year.
