Dear Joyce

It would be a good idea to have some articles about traditional Chinese skills in our newspaper. For example, I saw a programme on television about a (1) __________. He fishes with birds called (2) ___________. He is over (3)___，but he fishes every day with his (4) ___birds. He lives with them all the time. Sometimes the birds

even sit on his (5) ______! The birds swim down and catch (6) ，but they cannot eat them because the man ties a piece of (7) _____ around their necks. They take the fish back to him，and he removes the fish from the birds’ 8) . After the programme I wrote this article for our newspaper.

I hope you like it.
