How’s it going? I hope that grandpa is well now. I was sorry to hear that he had a cold last week. I hope you are in good health.
Things are fine here. I finished my end-of-year exams last week, and got my report card today. I always get nervous when I see the envelope from school in the mail, but luckily I did OK this time. I had a really hard time with science this semester, and I wasn’t surprised to find that my
worst report was from my science teacher. She said I was lazy, which isn’t true. It’s just that I find science really difficult. Another disappointing result was in history. My history teacher said I could do better. The good news is that my math teacher said I was hard-working. And my Spanish teacher said my listening was good.
Well, that’s about all the news I have for now. Mom and Dad send their love.
1. I hope that Grandpa is well now.
hope意思为“希望”，后面可接不定式或that从句。 eg: We hope to see you again. We hope we can see you again.

wish意思为“想要”，“希望”。wish接不定式，宾语＋不定式或that从句。
eg: I wish to place an order right now. I wish him to make progress.
wish可表示良好的“祝愿”，后面接“宾语＋宾补（形容词或名词）”而hope不能这样用。
eg: I wish you happy.
I wish you a pleasant journey. 2. I hope you are in good health. 我希望你身体健康。
be in good health 意思是“健康”、“身体好”＝be healthy.
eg: My grandpa is over 80 years old, but he’s still in good health. 反义词可为be in poor （bad）health. 3. I always get nervous. 我总是很紧张。
get nervous 意为“易激动的；感到紧张不安的”，也可说有“be nervous”；“feel nervous”。
?get??be tired; ?feel 类似的有??get??beexcited等?feel?
eg: I was tired after taking a long walk. They got excited to see him back. Jack got nervous when he fail the exam.
