Hello. I'm Peter. Now I'm a pupil of Class Two, Grade Six. I live in Shenyang. It's in the north of Beijing. My school isn't far away from my home. I usually go to school by bike. I usually get up at half past six in the morning. My favourtie subject is PE. I like playing basketball after school. Now I don't do well. I will do better in all kinds of subjects when I go to middle school. I won't play basketball every day. I will finish doing my homework first. I will possibly be a pilot when I grow up.

    Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31st, the evening before All Saints' Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.

     Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o'-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

     The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

     Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

    Mr Black is a teacher from the UK. He is now visiting Park Primary School. Jack is showing him around.

Jack: Look! That's our classroom building. There is a garden in front of it. There are many flowers and plants in the garden. There are two swings and three slides, too.

Mr Black: What's on the floor?

Jack: There is a computer lab. We have computer lessons in it. This is our class-room. There is a cupboard and eleven pictures in it.

Mr Black: Your classroom is small, but it's clean and tidy.

Jack: Thank you.

Mr Black: Thank you so much, Jack.

Jack: You are welcome.

    One day a crow found a piece of meat. She picked it up in her mouth and flew to a tall tree. She was just going to eat the meat when a fox saw her. He came and stood under the tree and said," How pretty you are! My dear friend, you must be the most beautiful bird in the world."

    The crow was very happy by these words. Then the fox said," I can you see your pretty face, but I have not heard your voice. Why don't you sing a song?"

    The crow opened her mouth and began to sing. As she opened her mouth, she lost her meat. The fox picked up the meat at once and went away with it. The crow was very angy.

Dear Daming,

    I like collecting stamps. I've got many stamps. They are from different countries. I have some Chinese stamps. They are from my Chinese friend, Xiao Doudou. And one has got a picture of the Great Wall on it. I like it very much.

Yours,

Lucy
