Hello, I'm Tom. Look! This is my bedroom. My schoolbag is on the desk. My books are in the schoolbag. My green kite and toys are in the box. My basketball is behind the chair. My blue cap is on the chair. Where's my dog? Oh, it's under my cap.

    I'm a Chinese boy. My name is Wang Hai. I am twelve. I have two sisters. My sisters and I are all students.

    My father is a teacher. He is a Chinese teacher. He teaches in the No.19 Middle School. My mother is a teacher, too. She teaches English in the No. 11 Middle School.

Dear Xiaohong,

    I'd like to invite you to my birthday party at my home. It's next Saturday, March 10th. My friends will come together and have fun on this special day. We will sing a birthday song. We will dance there. We will play hide and seek. We will eat a birthday cake. I hope you will enjoy this special day.

    The party will begin at 2:00 pm. Please arrive at 1:30 pm. If you are coming, please call me on 5683-5588.

    See you at the party.

Yours,

Tom

It's a rainy day. A woman with a dog gets on a bus. It's a big dog and it's feet are not clean. The conductor doesn't want the dog to sit on the chair. But the woman says to the conductor, "Oh, I will pay for my dog. Can he sit here like the other people?" The conductor looks at the dog and says, "Yes, madam, but like the other people, he must not put his feet on the chair."
