My name is John. I am a pupil. I like to read books on Sundays. I live in a house beside the zoo. It's near the school. So I walk to school every day. Tom is my friend. He lives far from the school, so he goes to school by bus. He likes to play on the computer on Sundays.

    It is on Sunday morning. The sun is shining. We have no classes. We are playing in the park. Some girls are singing and dancing under a big tree. Some boys are climbing the hill. Tom is drawing by the lake. Mike and John are swimming in the lake. Where are Betty and Mary? They are sitting under a small tree. They are reading a picture book. We are very happy.

    Wu Dong has a good friend. His name is Tom. He is from English.

    They are in the same class. They live near the school. Every day they go to school together. Tom likes China and Chinese food. He likes noodles and dumplings very much. From Monday to Friday, they do homework together in the afternoon. On Saturday and Sunday, Tom helps Wu Dong study English and Wu Dong helps Tom speak Chinese. They learn from each other.

    Hi, I am Lily. I have a good friend. Her name is Sarah. She is polite. We are in the same class. We go to school from Monday to Friday. We have four classes in the morning and two in the afternoon. I like Tuesdays, because we have art classes on Tuesdays. I can draw pictures in art classes. Sarah likes Fridays. We have music classes on Fridays. Our music teacher is Miss Yang. She sings well. She is very kind. We have lunch at school. My favourite food is beef. Sarah likes hamburgers best. We all like the weekend. We can play ping pong together on the weekend.

    Good morning, everyone! Here's China weather report. It rains in Haikou today. You'd better wear a raincoat. Beijing is sunny today. You'd better wear coats. You must wear a sweater today in Harbin. Because it snows in Harbin. Lhasa is windy. You'd better wear long trousers. Xi'an is warm. You'd better wear short boots. The report is over. May you be happy every day! Goodbye.

Dear Mum,

    Thanks for the new dress. I love it very much. It's hot in Sydney. I wear the dress to school. I want to buy (买) a pair of sunglasses, they're $85. They are too expensive. The food here is cheap. There is a farm next to my home. This is the vegetable garden. There are tomatoes and potatoes over there. There are animals, too. These are cows. They're so big. Mr Liu has twenty horses and ten hens on the farm, too. I like the farm!

Love,

Mary
