I always dreamed of pulling off the surprise prank （玩笑） of a lifetime.Well，thanks to a little determination，some luck，and the power of love，my dream became a reality.
My family is Canadian，although my sister studied in Australia.She was graduating just before Christmas，but because my school schedule was busy，I would not be able to make it down in time for her graduation.She was understandably disappointed，and I felt guilty that I couldn't be there for her on this most special occasion.
While I was talking to my teacher the week before the big event，I mentioned that I would be missing my sister's graduation.Surprisingly，she commented， "Well，if you want to go，I have no problem with it，so go ahead!" I couldn't believe my luck!I nearly jumped for joy.
Immediately，I called the airline.Amazingly，even during the busy Christmas season，I was able to change my ticket to arrive the day before my sister's graduation.
With this fantastic news，I was bursting to tell my sister.But，wait.For a grand surprise，I needed a much more dramatic arrival than just a ring of the doorbell.What if I could arrive in a box？That would be the best Christmas present for my sister.
Although I was leaving in less than seventy-two hours，I started searching for delivery companies.The only one willing to go along with my Christmas surprise，was CouriersPlease.At first the manager said no，because Christmas was their busiest season.But then later，he kindly volunteered to deliver me himself.
Upon arrival in Australia，the manager and his colleagues loaded me in the box and carried me all the way up to my sister's，where they rang the doorbell and announced they had a delivery for her.I couldn't see the look on my sister's face，but I could tell from her voice that she was both shocked and excited to receive such a huge gift box.I will never forget the look on her face as she opened the box.
It was such a great Christmas present for my sister，that is，for me to be able to go to her graduation，and in the process，show her how much I loved her.It also served as a lesson for me： no matter how busy we are，the family is important.no matter how busy we are，the family is important..

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
