My name is Lily. My father is a police officer and he can stop bad people. He often goes to work by car. My mother is a secretary and she works in a big company. She usually goes to work by taxi. I am a student and I go to school on foot. I like science. So we are going to visit the science museum on Saturday morning. And then we are going to buy some comic books in the evening. On Sunday, we are going to visit my grandparents. We will have a happy weekend.

    “Early to bed, early to rise（起身）makes people healthy, wealthy and wise（健康，富有，聪明）.” This is an old English saying. Children should have ten hours' sleep every night, or they can't do their work very well. They will not be wise. The body needs exercise. Walking, running, swimming and playing ball games are all exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong.

    I'm Chen Jie. I don't go to school on the weekend. I often do my homework on Saturday morning. I play computer games on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday morning, I often read books and watch TV. In the afternoon, I help my mother do housework.

    My name is Lisa.  I'm from Canada.  I am in Shanghai American School. Our school is big and beautiful. There are 15 pupils in my class. Our Chinese teacher is Miss Wang. We have six lessons every day. I can speak a little Chinese. I have a good friend. Her name is Mary. She is tall and thin.

    Amy and Mike are my good friends. They are students. Mike is fourteen years old. He's from Canada. He likes pears and strawberries. Amy is thirteen years old. She is from the UK. She likes watermelons and apples. She has a new toy car. It's green. She likes it very much.

    In the US, there are many types of restaurants. Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find many McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants.  You look at a menu above the counter, and choose what you'd like to eat. You pay the person who serves you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There's no need to leave a tip.

    In a coffee shop you sit at the counter or at a table. You don't wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down.  You tell her what you'd like to eat and she brings it to you. You must pay the money as you leave.

    In a family restaurant the waitress shows you where to sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don't need to tell her yours. If you leave over anything,   your waitress gives you a bag to take your food home. You add an extra fifteen cents to the bill as a tip.

    In top class restaurants, you need a reservation and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine, he may ask you to taste it.  You can only refuse it if it tastes bad, not if you don't like it. When you get your bill, check it and then add several dollars to it as a tip for the waiter.
