Today(今天) is my birthday(生日). I'm nine today. This is my friend. Ben. He's nine, too. That's my teacher Miss Fang. She's hungry. Look! What is that? It's a birthday cake. A cake, Miss Fang? Yes, please. A cake, Ben? No, thanks. An ice-cream, Ben? Yes, please. I'm thirsty.

    Summer is hot but don't stay at home all the time. It is a sunny day. The wind blows gently. Jimmy and his friends go camping with their teacher, Miss Li.

    They drive for an hour and find a beautiful place in the countryside (乡村). The place has a mountain, a lake and a forest. It is a great place for camping. Jimmy and his friends help Miss Li set up the camp. Then, they play.

    The lake looks nice. It is not deep (深), but it is very clean. Joe and Jimmy go fishing. They sit and wait for a long time. They don't move because fishing is a quiet sport.

    The mountain is nice too. Sue and Mary climb the mountain. Hiking is their favourite sport. It makes them strong.

    Jack and Ann find a small path to the forest. They go biking in the forest. It's fun but they can't go too far or ride too quickly.

    Johnny is a fat boy. He doesn't like playing or doing sports. Miss Li says: "You need to move your body. Sport is good for you. Let's play badminton together. "So Johnny plays with Miss Li.

    I'm Sam. I'm from Australia. I live in Beijing now. I have two friends. They are Jack and Ann. Jack is eleven. He's from Canada. He likes eggs. He can cook the meal. He often helps his mother on Sunday. Sometimes he goes to the park. Ann is ten. She's from Britain. She can play the violin. She often goes shopping on Saturday. Sometimes Ann plays computer games. Jack and I often play basketball on the playground.

    There are many rules in my family. I am not happy because they are boring. First, I should get up early because I have to go to school. Next, I shouldn't watch TV on school nights. On the weekend, I should do my homework, and then help my mum to do housework. In the evening, I can't go out to play with my friends. I should go to bed early. My parents think that the rules are good for my study. They don't know I'm interested in running, playing basketball and writing. I don't want to follow(遵守) the rules.

    There are four seasons in a year. Which (哪一个) season do you like? I like summer. Summer is very hot, but I can eat a lot of fruits. I like eating watermelons very much. In summer, I can swim in the sea. My parents(父母), my sister and I often go to the beach. We are very happy.
