“Come here, boys and girls! Story time,” says Ms Lee to the class.

Great! The children love 1 very much. They all sit around Ms Lee, and she 2 the story. Then, FatherChristmas (圣诞老人) comes.

    “Excuse me, is Aaron in the 3?” he asks.

    Everyone looks at Aaron. He walks up to Father Christmas and says, “I'm Aaron. Do I 4 you?”

    “Get the beard (胡须) off my face, and you will know me.”

    Aaron is very curious (好奇的), 5 he gets the beard off Father Christmas' face. 6 does he see? His father!

    Aaron's father is a soldier (士兵). He 7 goes back home. This year he has a long holiday. He can 8 with his family. It's great. He dresses up 9 Father Christmas and comes to Aaron's school.

    Aaron is 10 to see his father. It's a great Christmas present for him.

    What's your favourite festival? Why do you love it? Let's look at Wendy's favourite festival.

    It's the Chinese New Year today. Sam gets a red packet from his grandma. That's his favourite part of the festival. He gets four dollars and goes shopping in Chinatown.

    There are a lot of interesting things on the streets — fireworks, lion dances and delicious foods. Then Sam sees an old man. The man sleeps in the street. He doesn't wear shoes. “He doesn't have a home. What a poor man!” Sam thinks.

    At a toy shop, Sam wants to buy a toy Monkey King. But it's six dollars. Sam wants to go back home and get more money. On the way, he sees the old man again. “Why not give the four dollars to him? He can use the lucky money to buy some hot food and drinks,” Sam thinks.

    He gives the money to the old man and goes back home. His grandma knows his story and gives him a big hug (拥抱). What a good boy!

Dear Lisa,

    I'm going to have a party on September 27. It's my 12th birthday. I would like to enjoy this day with my family members and friends together.

    I will be very happy if you can come to join us. You are always my best friend. Your sister Jenny is welcome too. She is a nice girl. I like her. Because it's a princess-theme (公主主题的) party, please wear your beautiful clothes and shoes.

    There is a lot of fun at the party. My mum wants to cook a lot of Chinese food for us. Because September 27, 2015 is also the Mid-Autumn Festival, my grandma says she can make some moon cakes. You never eat them, right? They are delicious. There are also film DVDs and fun games for us. I'm sure all of us can have great fun on that day.

    The party is in my house, and it starts at 3:00 p.m. Can you come? Tell me please.

Yours,

Emma
