The tall man is my father. 5 name is Henry. This is my mother, Anna. My parents have three children, Tom, Paul 6 me. Tom and Paul are my 7. Tom is seven. Paul is three. And I'm six. 8 is the girl? She is my aunt. Her name is Betty. She is my father's 9 . Oh, Pipi is in the photo, too. Pipi is the 10 of my dog. I like it very much. It's my good friend.

    Toby's family often goes on ski (滑雪) vacations. They are great fun. The snow is cold and wet, but the sun is warm. Toby loves the 1 of skiing down a mountain. It's always great.

    But there is one thing that Toby doesn't 2about skiing. There are so many things to 3. The most important things are the skis and ski boots (滑雪板和滑雪靴), of course. He also has to wear big socks to keep his feet 4and long underwear (内衣) for his legs. And he can't 5his hat and mittens (连指手套).

    Toby didn't like ski lessons before. He knew it was 6to learn, but he didn't like his teachers. They always gave very boring lessons. Also, the lessons always took very long 7they had to wait for everyone to get ready.

    However, this year Toby was glad to have the8. One time Toby's hat flew off while he was going down the mountain. One of the teachers went and got it9him. The teachers also showed him10to stop faster and turn better. Lessons were not so bad after all!

    More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that's why there are about 1.4 billion bicycles and only about 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!

    Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighbourhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit (受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don't even have to ride all the way.

    Folding (可折叠的) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by accessing on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travellers.

    Health Benefits of Bicycling:

    It helps to prevent heart diseases.

    Bicycling helps to control your weight.

    A 15-minute bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off five kilos of fat in a year. Bicycling can improve your mood (心情).

    Exercise like bicycling has been shown to make people feel better, more relaxed and self-confident. Bicycling is healthier than driving.

    Mary likesto run. Ever since she was in the third grade, she has been training to runlong distances. Now that she was in her eighth grade, her parents agreed to lether run in the Banana Classic. The Banana Classic is a ten-kilometre race. Ittakes place every year in Mattydale. The winners get a lifetime supply (提供) of peanuts and fruit juice.

    Marypractised by running ten kilometres, twice every day. On the average (平时的) run, she would finish inthirty minutes. Last year's winner finished the race in twenty-six minutes andten seconds!

    On the dayof the race, Mary ran faster than she ever had in the past. As she came acrossthe last kilometre, she was in the fourth place. She picked up the pace (步伐) and quickly reached the secondplace, just as she could see the finishing line. She ran as fast as she couldin a mad dash (冲刺) to the finish line, but she justwasn't fast enough to get ahead of the leader.

I wrote a note to my parents when I was a young boy. I didn't write anything to them before.

That night, I just had a strong desire to let Mom and Dad know how much I loved them, how much they meant to me, and how thankful I was for what they gave me. Because I was too shy to tell them my feelings face to face, I wrote the note and put it on the desk in their bedroom. I couldn't wait to make therm see the note soon. I imagined bow they would feel after they read the note thousands of times before going to bed!

Early the next morning, I heard a soft knock at my door, As soon as I opened the door, I found my mom and dad standing outside.They kissed me and thanked me for the note. Mom said that she was thinking I was a little child, but to her surprise, I grow into a young boy unconsciously. Dad said he was happy that I could share my true feelings with them.

Seeing the smiles on their faces made me laugh happily.At the same time, I was surprised that my simple words could teach them so much.On that day,I saw my dad cry for the first time. The beautiful memory stayed in my heart from then on.

I live in a small town, If you walk to the center of the town on Green Street, you can see Star Hotel first. Hongxing Supermarket is on the right of the hotel.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}1 enjoy drawing there because I love the trees and the clean air.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}It is next to the park. There are many kinds of books in the library. 

Our school is across from the park. It is very big and clean.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}In front of the buildings there is a playground. Students often exercise there after class.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} We plant beautiful flowers and trees in the garden. Many birds fly in the trees. Next to the garden, there is a swimming pool.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} I love our school. I love the old town, too.
