Hello, I'm Mike. I have a new classroom. It's big and nice. It's on the second floor. There are forty-five students in my class. Look, there are many desks and chairs in it. They are yellow. There is a beautiful picture on the white wall. Where is the new computer? Oh, it's on the teacher's desk. It's black.

    Anda is twenty years old. She's a busy girl. She has to do many things every week. She studies hard. She likes swimming. And she's strong. Her brother Peter is a baseball fan. But Anda likes basketball.

    After class ,she has a part-time job(兼职) at McDonald's(麦当劳) from Monday to Thursday. She can earn(赚) $ 32 a day. Today is Friday. She has to study Chinese at Wall Street(华尔街). How about her weekends? She has a rest at home.

    A young mother and her little girl get on a bus and sit down. The bus conductor(售票员) comes to ask them to buy the tickets. The mother says, "I want one ticket to Children's Park." The conductor looks at the little girl and says to her, "How old are you?" The girl answers, "Mother says I am four years old at home, but I'm two years old on the bus." The young mother's face turns red, very red. Then she buys one adult ticket and a child's ticket.

    Hello, I'm Kate. It's a Saturday morning. I go to the park with my father. The park is near our house. So we walk there. When we get to the park. We see many people. Some old people are dancing. They are all about 60 to 65 years old. They are very happy. There are some girls by the lake. They are singing. Look! What is that boy doing? Ha, he is drawing some birds. He draws well, the birds are beautiful.

    Hi, I'm Mike. I'm a clever student. Usually, I go to school on foot. Because my home is near the school. Tom is my good friend. We often go to school together. My father is a doctor. He often goes to work by car. My mother is a teacher. She often goes to work by bus, but sometimes by bike.

    On weekends, I often go to the park with my parents. In the afternoon, I often go to the library by bike. I like reading. After dinner, I like watching TV with my family.

Air Jordan

    Michael Jordan (1963- ) is one of the most famous basketball players in the world. He was born in Brooklyn (布鲁克林), New York. He didn't like to talk about himself. He was also very short. He didn't play very well when he joined the basketball team in his high school at first. But the next year things changed greatly for him, as he grew much taller.

    Michael Jordan became famous when he joined the university basketball team in North Carolina (北卡罗来纳州). Michael used his quickness and strength to reach the basket again and again. He played so well that people call him Air Jordan. After college, Michael became a member of the Chicago Bull basketball team. The NBA was very surprised at this high-flying player. He was named Rookie of the year in 1985 and the most Valuable Player in 1987. He once set a record by getting 63 points in one game.
