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'm waiting 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

    During holidays，Kitty usually goes to see the exhibits in many museums，such as the history museum，the art museum，the museum of science and technology and the museum of natural history．There are thousands of wonderful things in museum.There are paintings，sculptures(雕塑)，costumes(服饰)，swords(剑)，ancient animal bones and plants，stuffed animals(动物标本)and many others．It is always a good review of history to visit those museums．It is also a great way to learn more things by myself．

    Zhang Ming is a student. He often goes to school on foot. This morning he went to school by bus because he got up late. Li Dong is Zhang Peng's classmate and he did not go to school. He went swimming last weekend and had a cold. The doctor asked him to take some medicine and stay in bed. So he has to stay at home for a few days. After school, Zhang Peng and his classmates are going to buy some flowers and visit him.

    Hello, I'm Amy. Welcome to our school. This is the teacher's office. That is my classroom. There are forty-six students in our class. The canteen is on the first floor. The library is on the second floor. We have a new music room. We play on the playground. I like our school.
