    Mom is going to Hangzhou for two days. There is a note for Kathy and Tom.

    Spring is beautiful, but in Canada it often rains. And it is hard to plant flowers in the rain. But there are a lot of flowers in my garden. So I love my garden! It is so nice to watch the flowers grow.

    The weather is very hot in summer in Canada. But people love the season because they often travel in this season. And I can go swimming and sightseeing (观光) In summer.

    In autumn I can pick apples. They are very delicious in this season. I also love to watch the leaves fall. Is that why we can call autumn "fall"?

    It usually snows in winter in Canada. Sometimes it snows in Beijing, too. When it snows, I can ski and make a snowman with my friends.

    I love all the seasons. They are all beautiful and I can find many interesting things to do.

    Mr Smith is a kind man. He often gave money to a beggar (乞丐) on his way home. One day the beggar asked him, "What's the matter, sir? Two years ago I got one hundred yuan from you. Last year you gave me five yuan every time you saw me. But this year, you only give me one yuan." Mr Smith said with a smile, "Two years ago I was single. Last year I got married (结婚) and this year I had a baby."

    The beggar said angrily, "How can you support (供养) your family with my money?"

    Mr Smith was so surprised. He just went away without saying anything to the beggar.

    I'm Kate. My mother and I want to buy some things. So we go to the supermarket by car. In the supermarket, we can see many food and school things (学习用品). We buy eggs, sugar, milk and butter for my mother. And also, we buy paints, paper, glue and socks for school. But I think socks are not for school.

    On the way home, we stop the car. Because the traffic light is red. “Look! It's green now! Let's go!” Then we get home.
