Do you think you can communicate (交流) without words?A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes".

    People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things.

    Books can tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books,magazines, TV and films all help us to communicate with each other. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.

    Today is Sunday. Ben is going to Shanghai Zoo with his classmates. He is going to meet his classmates at the bus stop. The bus stop is near his home. Shanghai Zoo is not very far. In the morning Ben and his classmates are going to see a lot of animals at the zoo. In the afternoon they are going to play football. So they are very happy.

    It's sunny today. I am playing with my friends in the park. The sky is blue. The clouds are white. There are many colourful flowers and green grass. Ken is flying a kite. Sally and Ann are dancing on the grass. I'm reading a book. Where is Peter? Oh. He is under a big tree. He is drawing beautiful pictures.

    How happy we are!

I'm Mike. I have a happy family. There are six people in my family. My mother's birthday is in October. We usually go hiking with her. There are three birthdays in July. My sister's birthday and my birthday are in July. My grandma's birthday is in July, too. July is in summer, we can go fishing and go swimming. My father's birthday is in December. It's very cold, so we go skating with him. My grandpa's birthday is in March. I like spring, because we can plant trees and fly kites with him.
