When visiting the home of a colleague from one of these 63 (country ),it is normally appropriate to bring a gift to the hostess.
In America, 64 ( expense) gifts are definitely out. A good 65 ( choose) is to take the deserving person to dinner, or to 66 entertainment or a sporting event. 67 the contrary, gift giving is a traditional custom in Japan. In Japan the proper gift is thought 68 (express) the giver’s true friendship, gratitude and respect far 69 (well) than words can.

How time flies! I Had hardly had time to enjoy the warmth of my home while it's time go back to school. This winter I spend ten days studying maths, chemistry and physics, none of which was easily for me.
And I still had some fun during the Spring Festival. I had attended my uncle's wedding and my new aunt was very beautiful. To my disappoint, I didn't get many lucky money as I had expected.

The food there was very delicious and we all really enjoyed myself.

One possible version:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm Li Hua, a Chinese student touring in London now. I’m writing to ask if you have found my lost item in your museum.
Last Sunday, when visiting the museum I was so attracted by a robot that I left my jacket in it, which is a gift from my best friend. Having failed to find it, I rushed to the Lost Property Office immediately and filled in the relevant from. As I am leaving for China, I am terribly anxious to know if the jacket has been handed in. If so, I hope you will inform me in time so that I can claim it back before returning home.
I’m looking forward to your early reply
Yours,
Li Hua
