    My name is Lisa. I have a little brother in the big city. His name is Jack. Today I am going to the city to visit him. There are many new streets in the city. So I am lost. I meet a girl, and I ask, "I'm lost. Can you help me? Where is the bus stop？" The girl says, "Go down the street and turn right at the traffic lights. " I say, "Thanks. "

    I have a dress. It's old and broken. I'd like a new one. Today is a fine day. So I go to the clothes shop with my mother. We see many nice dresses and skirts. I want to buy a red dress. But it is one hundred yuan. It is too expensive (昂贵的)! So I choose (选择) a blue one. It's sixty­eight yuan and it fits (适合) me very well. My mother buys it for me. Then we go home by taxi together.

    Look at the sun. It's red. Look at the clouds. They are white. The sun and the clouds are in the blue sky. The umbrella is green and the chair is brown. The boat is pink. It's a nice picture.

Dear Mike,

    One day, Mark Twain went to a small town to give a lecture (讲座). At lunch he met a young man. The young man told him that he had an uncle. His uncle never laughed or smiled. Nobody and nothing could make his uncle smile or laugh. "You bring your uncle to my lecture tonight," said Mark Twain. "I'm sure I can make him laugh." That evening the young man and his uncle sat in the first row. Mark Twain spoke directly (直接地) at the old man. He told some funny stories. But the old man never even smiled. Mark Twain told the funniest story he knew. But the old man didn't still smile. At last Mark Twain stopped. He felt very tired and disappointed (失望的). Some days later, Mark Twain told one of his friends about what had happened. "Oh," said his friend. "I know that old man. He is deaf."
