There is an interesting festival in China. At this festival people in Hunan always have a dragon boat match. The dragon boat is quite long. There are pictures of dragons on each side. The front of the boat is like the head of a dragon. There are twenty members in each team. Besides them there is a man on the boat. He beats a drum(击鼓). It's an exciting match, especially(特别是)when they are reaching the end. The audience(观众)beside the lake shout for their favourite teams. From this match. we have the name of the festival—the Dragon Boat Festival. This special day has another(另一个)name-Duanwu Festival. It has a story. The story is about a poet(诗人)called Qu Yuan.

    There is a fox. The fox is hungry and thirsty. He sees some grapes. The grapes are round and purple. They're very nice. He wants to eat them. But they are high on the grapevine(葡萄藤). He cannot touch and get them. He is very sad. A bird eats them happily. She tells the fox the grapes are very sweet. But the fox can't eat the grapes, so he says they are very sour. He doesn't like them.

    Look at the people in the park. Some girls are rowing a boat. Mr Smart is running. Lingling is taking pictures. Amy is singing. Sam is jumping, he can jump very high. Grandma is reading.
