Dear Mary,

    Can you take these things to my brother, Bill? These things are: his red hat, alarm clock, keys, English book, notebook, watch and ID card. (A) His keys are on the table, too. His English book is in the bookcase, too. (B) His watch is in the dresser. And his ID card is in the dresser.

    Thank you.

Jenny

    Mr Perkin stood at the bus-stop and watched the cars go by. Many of the car were new Beta 400s, and most of them were yellow. Mr Perkin always wore the same clothes as other men, ate the same food as other people, and did the same things after work, and at the end of the week, Mr Perkin did not like to be different.The following week, Mr Perkin bought a new, bright yellow Beta 400s. He was satisfied with it, and drove to work in it the very next day. He was even more satisfied with his new car, when he saw all the other Beta 400s, in front, behind, and on both sides of him.He likes the feeling of being the same.Mr Perkin parked(停车) his car in a big car-park(停车场) near his office, and walked the rest of the way. But when he came back at five o'clock, there were so many bright yellow Beta 400s in the car-park that he did not know which car was his. He tried his key in some of the cars, but people passing by gave him a look he didn't like. So he stopped. Time went by.Poor Mr Perkin had to wait nearly two hours until his was the only yellow.Beta 400s in the car-park. After he got back home, he felt frustrated and thought to himself that maybe being different is not so bad.

    I had a summer camp with my classmates last year. Early in the morning, we gathered at the bus station .After saying goodbye to our parents, we got on the buses. It took us more than two hours to arrive at the camp ground

    We got off the buses cheerfully. Laughing and shouting, we jumped and ran all over the place. It was the first time for us to be away from the parents. Some of us started to feel homesick However, when the night party find dances began, the homesickness(想家)was gone.

    The next day, everybody rushed to the boating class, hoping to be at the head of the others. At first, my friends and l worked hard, but the boat wouldn't listen to us and kept going round and round. Then the teacher taught us how to work together. After many tries, we did much better.

    Swimming class was my favourite. It was about the hottest time of a day and the best time to stay in the cool water. The swimming teacher was a funny man, and during the class he often made us laugh happily.

    During the week I learned a lot of new things and made many new friends. I also learned how to take care of myself.

    A large numbers of emojis (表情符号) are sent online every day. Emojis are pictures used in texts and web pages. Since emojis were invented in the late 1990s, they have been used as a modern international languages.

    We like emojis for different reasons. A written message is always black and white, but emojis show meanings beautifully. Sometimes emojis also change the way we write. The more emojis we use, the fewer words we use.

    There are many emojis with different meanings. They are easy to understand. For example, a smiling face means "I'm happy". A cake with candles means "Happy birthday". When we want to say "Goodbye", we use a smiling face with a waving hand. When we are in a terrible situation but we have to laugh to cheer ourselves up, we can use a "cry laugh" emoji.

    Now emojis have great influence on us. Sometimes, emojis can be helpful to people from different countries in understanding each other. And when we are feeling exchange. Then the invention of emojis helps change the situation. For example, when we receive a smiling face from our friends online, we try to exchange our feelings by sending the same picture.

    It seems that emojis change as time goes by. However, we should be careful when we use them online.

    As a mother of three young girls, Alison Cowan worried about her daughters growing up too fast. From asking for the latest toy to wanting to wear make-up, it seemed to Alison and her husband. Alan, that their children were never satisfied with what they had.

    The girls would ask for a toy, but would lose interest in it as soon as their friends had something new. Birthday parties were no longer just a few party games and blowing up balloons. All the parents seemed to invite professional performers and compete over who could give the most expensive party bag. At just seven years old, Amy and her friends were paying more and more attention to their appearance. It was a feeling that many parents would have.

    However, few would dream of leaving a comfortable family life and a comfortable house to move their family 3. 000 miles away to Africa in search of a simpler life. But last June, Alison and her husband, Alan, moved with their daughters to Kampala in Uganda, to show them a different lifestyle.

    For almost a year, the girls play in the red, dusty streets with local children and visit markets to buy fresh fish and vegetables for dinner. They have been able to play and use their imagination away from the distractions(分心) of the consumer-driven society. Now, instead of competing over who has won a computer game, the girls think about things like the frequent water shortages and electricity cuts in certain areas. "At times, we've been without water for five days. The girls always accept it, though. Their world before had been so small, but now they understand 93."

    Hello, boys and girls. I am Helen. The Student Art Festival starts in our school this month. Let me tell you about it. Today is December 13th. There is a photo show (展览). Students take many photos. All of them are great. I love one photo very much. It's a photo of a big family. It has a name, "Happy birthday, Grandpa!" I think this student has a happy family, just like me.

    In the next two weeks, we have other fun things, the talent show (才艺展), Chinese paintings (绘画) show and the DIY show. I like the talent show best. It is on the afternoon of December 19th. My classmates and I want to play the piano in the show. Our parents will come and watch the show. I hope we can do well. Do you have time? Please come and watch our show.
