    Our school had an English Fun Day today. My classmates and l went to the School Hall to play English games. Some Grade 6 students were helpers and they showed us how to play the games.

    Peter and l were in a spelling(拼写) game. He made many mistakes but I did very well. I got some sweets and we shared(分享) them.

We did not like the matching(配对) game. We had to match some words to pictures. It was not difficult but boring.

    We liked the reading game. I was slow when I read out the sentences. But Peter was very quick. He won the first prize. Miss Wong gave him a photo album. He can put his photos in. We had a good time.

    The Roses（罗斯一家）like having picnics on Sundays. This Sunday they want to go to the Red Park. Jack and Mike, their sons, get up early in the morning. Jack puts on a shirt and jeans, and Mike puts on a T-shirt and jeans. They also put on their running shoes. After that they help their mother put bread, milk, eggs and some fruit in a basket and carry it to the car. Mrs. Rose also takes four glasses of juice with her. The little dog Jerry is running after her. It wants to go with them, too. They are all very happy.

Alice：Touch this, Tom. How does it feel?

Tom：It's soft. Is it a doll?

Alice：No, it isn't. It's a toy bear. It's brown.

Tom：I don't like toy bears, but I like robots.

Alice：Touch this, Kitty. How does it feel?

Kitty：It's hard and thick. Is it a book?

Alice：Yes, it is. Well done, Kitty. Do you like reading books?

Kitty：Yes, I do.

    Last Sunday, my parents and I went to the countryside. My uncle lives there. There are many crops on the farm. I helped my uncle water them. And we picked some vegetables, too. We cooked lunch with them.

    They were fresh. The food was very delicious. In the afternoon, we planted some trees near the village. I felt very hot and tired, but I was very happy. I drank some fresh juice. We went home by bike in the evening. I had a great day in the countryside.

It's a new season. The frogs(青蛙)are excited about spring. I can hear them croaking (呱呱叫)in the distance. I know it's spring when I hear the frogs croaking.

It's a new season. The dragonflies(蜻蜓)are excited about summer. I can hear them buzzing (嗡嗡HU)in the distance. I know it's summer when I hear the dragonflies buzzing.
