When we decided to sell our flat，having been cheated by the previous owner，we thought it was really important to be completely honest with any potential buyers about having knotweed （蓼科雜草） in the garden.It had been such an unpleasant and stressful experience for us and we didn't want to have anyone else suffer any longer.
   We bought our two-bedroom flat in 2014，when it was just the two of us.But after having three kids it became too small，so we sold it last year.The flat has a small garden at the back，but we didn't know the presence of knotweed until well after we moved in and had a note from our neighbor behind our flat saying that they thought we had knotweed.Then we had a look and found some very small offshoots for this was just around springtime.At that point my husband and I certainly didn't realize quite how problematic it could be.But then we started reading all the horror stories and became really concerned — people couldn't get a mortgage；they couldn't sell；the plant was creeping through concrete etc.
   Then we treated the offshoots with glyphosate and as far as we knew it was completely gone.Before we put the property on the market we had the house checked by some specialists，who thoroughly inspected everything，including the connecting garden，and couldn't find anything at all.We signed a ten-year insurance-backed guarantee with the company that could be transferred to the new owners，then started marketing the property through an agent.
   In fact we found a buyer pretty quickly and they didn't beat us down on price as we'd already done much for the treatment.Knotweed doesn't need to be a deal-breaker，as long as you're upfront about it.

  • 1．Dear Jorge，
       Are you enjoying your break from school？My family are now in Sacramento，California.We are here paying a visit to my aunt Gloria.We have been to the California State Capitol Building，the nature center，and the zoo.I have seen many interesting things，but one stands out above the rest.This morning we drove from my aunt's home to Calistoga to see California's Old Faithful Geyser（老忠實泉）.I had read about it in my book，Sightseeing in California：Where You Should Go.You have probably heard of Old Faithful，the geyser farther north in Yellowstone National Park.This California geyser is sometimes called "Little Old Faithful".
       When we arrived California's Old Faithful was only a calm pool of water.The geyser didn't look very deep."What's the big deal？" I wondered.As I turned，I saw some steam（蒸汽）rising from the water.Before I knew it，there was hot water shooting（射）up about 60 feet into the air.We could not believe our eyes!It continued for almost three minutes.
       Aunt Gloria told me that the water came from an underground river.She also said that the water temperature was about 95℃.This water can sometimes shoot 170 feet into the air.
       My aunt said that other geysers around the world reach hotter temperatures and shoot water even higher than California's Old Faithful Geyser.I'd love to learn more about this geyser and other geysers in different countries when I get home.I'll see you soon!
    Your friend，
    Bennetto

  • 3．Whenever the word "hero" comes to me，I immediately think of three Hs：honorable，hardworking，and happy.When I think more about this word，I picture someone who has accomplished good things for people and tries to do the right thing.Hattie Elizabeth Alexander is one person whom I find to be very heroic.
       Hattie was born in Baltimore，Maryland on April 5，1901.During her time at college she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Bacteriology and Physiology.These were just the first steps towards what she was finally going to be remembered for.After college Hattie attended Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and received her medical degree.
       After her education，she pursued her career，and after much time and hard work，she drastically reduced the number of infants （幼兒） dying from meningitis（腦膜炎）.Hattie was very devoted to her work and helped at as many locations as she could.Spending plenty of time in the laboratory，Hattie successfully developed a cure against the disease，which decreased the death rate to 20 percent.At the same time，she was also a teacher working with Columbia University.
       She was a caring lady interested in other people's lives.When she was teaching at Columbia University，other members would talk to her about students that were failing their classes，and somehow Hattie could always find convincing reasons as to why they should not be driven away.Later，Hattie became an instructor in Pediatrics at New York City's Babies Hospital.After many honors，she became the first woman president of the American Pediatric Society in 1965.This was her last major achievement，for soon after，Hattie died of cancer on June 24，1968.
       Hattie is my hero because her positive attitude and strength helped her accomplish great things for others.She gave them her strength by developing medicines against disease，which，by doing so，made them stronger.This is what makes Hattie Elizabeth Alexander my hero.
