The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but
ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.

Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person’s ears with colour was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today, too many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.

Ears are all different, and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size, or small. Look at the lobes（耳垂）. Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry
easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white colour mean that a person has a nervous character.

五、One possible version:

Dear Mike, 

My name is Li Lin. I’m a student of Grade 9. My star sign is Cancer. I’m a kind and easy-going person. I like warm colours such as orange and yellow, because they can bring me success and cheer me up. I love watching films and I like outdoor activities. But my parents are strict with me in my study and I always have a lot of home
work every day, so I have no time to do what I want to do. I oft
en feel tired and sleepy. But I have my own ways to deal with these problems, for example, I listen to music and chat with my friends in my free time. I hope I will have less homework and I’m looking forward to having enough time to relax myself during the winter holidays. 

What about you? Can you tell me more about your school life? I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Li Lin
