Dear Amy,

    Thanks for your letter. It's always nice to hear from you.

    Today is the last day of my exams. The maths exam is very difficult, but other exams are easy. I'mwaiting for the holidays now, and I'm very anxious to see you and to be with you again. I'm going to spend my Christmas and New Year holidays in New York with my sister. I'm going down town. I'm going to go shopping for Christmas gifts. I'm excited about Christmas, and about seeing you again.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Yours,

                                                                                                                                                                                                           Jack

    A bird is very pretty and has a good voice. She is good at singing. Now she is very hungry, so she steals a piece of meat. She is going to eat it in the tree. A fox is passing by. He is hungry, too. He sees the bird in the tree and a piece of meat in her mouth. He is happy and says to the bird, "Hello, bird. You look so nice. I know you can sing very well. Would you sing for me?" The bird is glad to hear his praise and begins to sing. The meat falls and the fox gets and eats it.

    Hello, I'm Sarah. Welcome to our school. This is the teachers' office. That's my lunch room. There are forty - seven students in our class. The lunch room is on the first floor. The library is on the second floor. We have a music room. We play on the playground. I like our school.

    Earth Day is on April 22nd. It was startedby an American Nelson. In 1970, about 20 million(百万) Americanscelebrated the first Earth Day. Every day, we take important things from theearth, like trees, water, and oil. Our factories, cars, and garbage(垃圾) make the air, water, and land dirty. If we are not careful, wewill have no trees, no clean water and air, and no food. Earth Day tells us tobe kind to the earth. Use less water, plant more trees... The earth is ours, sowe should help the earth every day, not just on Earth Day!

    Look, there are some special days in April. April Fool's Day is on April 1st. Children will have fun on that day. Easter is also in April. There will be an Easter party. Children will play many games. They will roll (滚动)Easter eggs and meet the Easter Bunny. What a happy party! When is the sports meet? It's on 21st. That will be fun too. Everyone loves April.
