My name is Dave. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a student in No. 5 Middle School. I like doing sports. I like {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (play) tennis and basketball.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (look) at my room. I have a tennis racket. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is on the table. I have two baseballs. They are under the bed. Playing sports is very interesting, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}I like it very much. I like eating, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} fruit, I like strawberries best. But I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} like vegetables. I like French fries very much, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I am very fat. My parents ask {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (I) to eat more vegetables. They say it's important to eat {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good).

    This is a true story. Debbie and her husband, Billy, had an {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (argue) about another woman—his mother. "You two haven't had dinner together for so long," Debbie said.

    Billy replied, "My busy job casts most of my time. My mother will be happy w{#blank#}2{#/blank#} she meet you and the two lovely granddaughters."

    "But you are the son and tomorrow is Mother's Day. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (order) for you both at Fashion Restaurant for tomorrow at 7: 00 p. m." his wife said. 'Tell mother {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the dinner."

    "Hello, mon, would you like to go to the Fashion Restaurant tomorrow night for dinner? You know, it's Mother's Day." Hearing this, his mother felt very {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (worry). She thought maybe {#blank#}6{#/blank#} was something wrong with them." Don't worry, Mom," the son explained. "The family is great. I just think it'll be fun if only two of us go out, like we d{#blank#}7{#/blank#} in the old day."

    The next day Billy picked up his mother {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (happy). They drove to the restaurant and sat at the same table they sat 30 years ago. Billy's mother said she needed to tell {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (he) one thing first. "Billy, I know you have to work hard to be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (success), but make sure you spend as much time with your family as possible."

    Children today have many things to play with. They can watch television, surf {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Internet, or play video games. But what do you think children {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (do)for fun long ago? They read books.

    Some of you might ask, "Are books {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (real) fun?”

    Believe it or not, books can provide many things that televisions or computers cannot. Since books use only words {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (tell) a story, they can improve your imagination. You can picture the characters and background in your head and you can also imagine {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the characters feel.

    The words and sentences that are used in stories are also very interesting and usually cannot {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (find) often on television or on websites. They are sometimes so beautiful and touching {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they can bring tears to your eyes Books also help us to think harder and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (deep). As we continue to read, we ask questions to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (our) and try to find answers.

    These are some of the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (reason) why books are so fun to read. Remember that the more you read, the more you grow.
