Hello! My name is Kim. I'm from the U. S. I am a tall girl. I like basketball best. I often play basketball with my friends on the playground. We have two teams—the White Team and the Yellow Team. I am on the Yellow Team. Each team has five players. My favourite basketball player is Yao Ming. I like him best and I want to be a basketball player like him.

    Today is Sunday. It's sunny and warm. It's 9：00 in the morning. Everyone in my family is busy now. Look! My father is working on the computer. My mother is washing the clothes. My sister is drawing a picture. I'm doing my homework. This is a busy morning.

    Mr and Mrs Green's house is far from the city. There are no big shops near their home. So they only go shopping at weekends.

    One Saturday morning, Mr and Mrs Green go shopping with their son, Tom. Mr Green drives the car to a big shop. It sells clothes. Mrs Green likes them. So she chooses a dress and tries it on. It looks great on her. She buys it for herself. Then she buys a shirt for her son and a sweater for her husband. After that, they go to a supermarket to buy some food and fruit.

    At about eleven o'clock, they all feel hungry. They have their lunch at a restaurant. After lunch, they want to go home. But they cannot find their way. Mr Green drives over to a woman and asks, "Excuse me, could you tell me where I am now?" The old woman looks at him and the car, "You are in your car, sir," she answers.

    Hello! I'm Lingling. Today is my birthday. I'm eleven now. Look! There is a big cake on the table. There are some sweets, some biscuits, some peanuts and some fruit on it too. My friends Daming and Amy are here. We are having some bread, noodles and dumplings. We are all very happy.

    Tim's mother is ill. She has a fever. She is in bed. Tim is with his mother. He has to look after(照料) his mother. He can't go to school. Tim's classmate, Dick is very nice. He comes to help Tim with his homework with his deskmate, Mary.

    Mike is a little boy, and he doesn't like washing hands. Three or four times(次) every day his mother says to him, "Mike, your hands are very dirty(脏的). Go and wash them." But Mike never washes them well. He only puts his hands in the water and soon takes them out. Mike's uncle and aunt live in another city. One day, they come to see Mike's parents, and they take their small son, Ted, with them. Ted is one year younger than Mike, and he doesn't like soap(肥皂) or water, either.

    The boys sit with their parents for a few minutes(几分钟), and then they go out. When they are alone(单独的), Mike looks at Ted's hands and says proudly(自豪地), "My hands are dirtier than yours!"

     "Of course they are," Ted says. "You are older than I am."
