Long long ago, there was a cat and a mouse. They were good friends. They lived together. One day, a cow came and said,"Hello, my friends. There is a football game in the forest tomorrow. Do you want to join us? If you win, you'll get much food."

    "Really?" The cat and the mouse were very excited. They wanted to take part in this match. So the cat said to the mouse,"my dear, I often sleep,sleep,sleep. You get up early every day. Please call me tomorrow." The mouse said ,"Sure."

    The next day, the mouse got up. He went to the football match. But he didn't call the cat. At last, the cat was very angry with the mouse.

Zhao Yan: Look at this photo, Wang Ying.

Wang Ying: Oh, I remember. It was Liu Ning, you and I that were at the gym. It was rainy that day. We went to the gym to watch Lin Dan play badminton. He played with a player of Australia. We yelled for Lin Dan. He played very hard. Finally he won. We were happy. We jumped up and down.

A Picnic

    Today is Sunday. It's a sunny day. Sarah and Amy are out for a picnic. They go to a park. It's a big park. They can see many people there. There are many green trees in the park. Near the gate, there is a lake. Some ducks are swimming in the lake and you can see lots of fishes there.

    Sarah and Amy bring many things to eat, such as bread, cake, sausages(香肠), hot dogs and hamburgers. They have a picnic under a tree. After picnic they read some books and talk with each other. They have a good time.

Tim and Coco want to have a picnic at Cloud Park.

Tim: Here comes the bus. Let's get on!

Coco: No, Tim. We can't jump the queue (插队).

Tim: Oh, I'm sorry.

They are in the park now.

Tim: Let's play football!

Coco: No, we can't.

Tim: Why?

Coco: Look at the sign. It means we can't play football here.

Tim: What a pity!

Coco: We can play football in the school playground tomorrow.

    Tim and Coco have a good time in the park. They see many beautiful flowers. They hear the birds singing happily. They enjoy the sunshine too. It's time to go home.

Coco: Where's the exit?

Tim: Look at the map. It's over there.

Coco: OK. Let's go.

Landfills increase pollution problems by Peter Li

Although there are three landfills in Rainbow City, people believe that the landfills will all be full in 20 years because we are producing more rubbish than expected.

Pollution problems are getting worse. Therefore people ought to think about solutions. The environment will get better if people start doing something to help.

Miss Huo from the Environment Department talked about ways to reduce pollution. The Pollution is getting serious. Therefore, we ought to recycle more and stop throwing so many things away without thinking about the environment.

Now we're recycling things such as paper and plastic bags, but that's not enough.

We have to think about recycling more things such as batteries, washing machines and rice cookers.

There are many things we can do to protect our environment. We should take action now so that we all can live in a better environment.
