Hello, everyone. I am your classmate. My Chinese name is Zhou Ting. My English name is Tina. You can call me Tina Zhou or just Tina. I am eleven years old this year. I will celebrate my 11th birthday next month. I will have a birthday party in the Forest Park. I will not have a birthday cake or birthday candles. But I will have a birthday tree. I will plant a tree in the park. I want to grow with the tree. Will you come to my birthday party?

    Many parts of the world have four seasons. They are spring, summer, fall and winter. Spring follows winter. It becomes warmer and the days become longer. Plants begin to grow and many animals have babies. Summer is the hottest season. It does not get dark until late. Plants grow fast. In fall the days get shorter. The weather turns cooler. Trees may lose their leaves. Some birds fly to warmer places. Winter is the coldest season. It gets dark early in the evening. Plants stop growing and many trees are bare ( 光秃).

    Miss White is an English teacher. She has short hair and big eyes. She's very nice. She walks to school every day. She usually has classes at eight thirty. She has lunch at school at twelve. After school, she likes playing table tennis with her students. She goes home at five o'clock in the afternoon. In the evening, she cooks meals for her family and then reads books. She goes to bed at ten o'clock.

Dear Sally,

    How are you?

    I'm in the UK now. It's hot today. I wear my yellow T-shirt and pretty white skirt. I go to the farm with my mother and sister. It's Uncle John's farm. It's big and nice. We can see many vegetables in the garden. We try some red tomatoes. They are so good. Uncle John has a lot of animals on his farm. My sister loves the horse very much. I love the cows because I love to drink milk.

Love

Jenny

Dogs are colour-blind (色盲的)

    Dogs are man's good friend. Some dogs are big, and some dogs are small. Dogs are very clever, but they cannot see colours. They are colour-blind. In a dog's eyes, everything is black, white and grey. How can a dog hunt (捕猎) for food then? Dogs can run very fast. They can hear and smell very well too. Many animals cannot see colours, Lions, tigers, cats, cows and sheep are all colour-blind. But monkeys can see colours. Many birds, fish and insects con see colours too.
