    I'd like to tell you about my dream classroom. In the future, my classroom will be very 1, so we can do lots of activities in the classroom. In summer, it will be 2 and in winter it will be warm, so it will be 3. There is going to a beautiful 4 in front of it. We can see many trees and flowers in it. There will be a cable TV in our classroom and we can 5 it at noon. Everyone will have a computer on the desk.

    Hi, everyone. I'm Daming. I come from a family 1 five people. They are my grandparents, my parents and me. We live in a tall building in Shanghai in the 2 of China. Our apartment is big and 3. We're living a happy life. My grandfather doesn't work now. He often tells me something about his 4.

    My grandfather 5 born in 1958in a small village. At that time, there wasn't a 6 in the village. 7. My grandfather couldn't go to school. There was a 8 behind my grandfather's house. The water was clean and there were lots of fish in it. People in the village were friendly and they got on well with each other. People were busy on the farm all day. There were many interesting games for children to play. It was great for my grandfather to 9 other children, so he wasn't 10. My grandfather often says, “the life in the past was hard, but it was happy too.”
