My name is Li Mei. I'm 13 years. There are three people in my family. They are my father, my mother and me. My father is a farmer. In the past, he got the crops in by hand. Now he uses a machine. It can get the crops in very quickly. It can save a lot of time. My mother is a street cleaner. In the past, she swept the streets with a broom. Now she drives a street sweeper. It can clean the streets in a short time. My home is far from my school. I went to school on foot five years ago. Now I go to school by bus every day.

Han Meimei：The juice is cool and good. I'm hungry too. I want to eat.

Seasons In Lishui

    Lishui is a beautiful city. The mountains are green. The air is fresh. And the water is clean. There are 4 seasons in Lishui — spring, summer, autumn and winter.

    Spring comes from March to May. It is warm and often rains. Spring is beautiful with flowers and songs. People always enjoy the flowers with their family on the weekend. Children like to fly kites. After spring, summer is coming. It is in June, July and August. The days are long. It is sunny and hot. People like going swimming and boating. Children like summer best, because they like the summer holiday and they can eat ice-cream. Autumn comes with September. The weather becomes cooler and it's often windy. Autumn is golden. Farmers are busy picking oranges. Because there are many orange trees in Lishui. So people can eat delicious oranges in this season. People also like to go hiking and climb mountains on the weekend. Winter is cold and the year is gone. It comes from December to February. It doesn't often snow in Lishui. Chinese New Year and the winter holiday are all in winter. So winter is a happy season for us.

    We love all seasons in Lishui. We all love Lishui.

    Jack had some holidays. He wanted to go to a quiet place by train. He put on his best clothes and took a small bag. He got on the train. The train began to leave. Jack put his head out of the window. The wind blew his hat away. He felt anxious. But soon he calmed down. He quickly took his small bag and threw it out of the window. He said, "there is my name and my address on my bag. Someone will find my hat and bag. And he will send me the bag and the hat.
