Summer Holidays(暑假) in England

    With July coming, the summer holidays begin. Boys and girls will have 60 days to rest. The weather is good. Parents will take their children to the seaside(海边) for the holidays. The children like the sand(沙子), the sun, the cool wind and the water. Certainly there are lots of things to see, good things to eat, and exciting things to do. They can play ball games. They can go on field trips, too. They study real things on the field trips. What good holidays!

    Look, this is my school. This is the library. That is the playground. The music room is on the first floor. My classroom is on the second floor. There are forty students in my class. Where's the art room? It's on the second floor, too.

    A crow(乌鸦) is thirsty. He finds a little water in a bottle(瓶子). But the neck(颈部) of the bottle is long. The crow can't get the water. The crow thinks(想) and thinks. He puts some little stones in the bottle. The water rises up(上升). Now he can drink the water. What a clever crow!

    The following discussion took place between a father and his nine-year-old son.

    “It's unfair, Dad. Mum wants me to make my bed, but I don't know how.”

    “It's time for you to learn. Where are you clean sheets?”

    “I don't know.”

    “What so you mean you don't know? You need to take care of your things.”

    “Where are Jack's sheets?” the father called to his wife.

    “Right next to ours.” the wife answered. After a moment, the father asked slowly “Where are ours?”
