    A bird is very pretty and has a good voice. She is good at singing. Now she is very hungry, so she steals a piece of meat. She is going to eat it in the tree. A fox is passing by. He is hungry, too. He sees the bird in the tree and a piece of meat in her mouth. He is happy and says to the bird, "Hello, bird. You look so nice. I know you can sing very well. Would you sing for me?" The bird is glad to hear his praise and begins to sing. The meat falls and the fox gets and eats it.

    My name is Chen Jie. I'm from China. I'm a Chinese girl. I live in a big city. We have spring, summer, autumn and winter here. I like spring best. It's windy and warm. We can fly kites in spring. It's the best time to plant trees, too. I don't like summer. It's too hot. In winter it never snows in our city. So it's not very cold.

    I have a pretty pet. Her name is Polly Bird. When Polly was young, she lived in a birdhouse. Now she lives in a birdcage. When Polly was young, she couldn't sing. Now she sings all day long. When Polly was young, she couldn't eat birdseed. Now she can eat birdseed.

    When Polly was young, she couldn't fly. Now she flies out of the birdcage every morning. She flies back into the birdcage every evening. When Polly was young, she didn't like our pet rabbit Lulu. Now she plays with Lulu every day. When I am sad, Polly sings to me. She makes me happy. I love Polly very much.

Sam: Hello, Uncle Tim. Come in, please.

Uncle Tim: Thank you. Happy birthday, Sam. This is for you.

Sam: A new game! Thank you so much, Uncle Tim. I want to play it now. But Lucy is doing her homework on the computer.

Uncle Tim: Where are your mum and dad?

Sam: Mum's making the cake in the kitchen. Dad is in the garage.

Uncle Tim: What's he doing in the garage?

Sam: He's washing the car. This afternoon, we'll go fishing in the sea.

Uncle Tim: Fishing in the sea? That's great fun.

Sam: Yes. Would you like to go with us?

Uncle Tim: Yes, of course.

(Lucy comes into the living-room)

Lucy: Good morning, Uncle Tim.

Uncle Tim: Hi, Lucy.
