My father's day

    My father is a teacher. He teaches Chinese. He likes his job and his students. And the students like him too. He goes to work from Monday to Friday. He does not work on Saturday and Sunday. Every day, he gets up at five thirty. At six, he has breakfast. Then he goes running. He goes to school at seven. He has lunch at school. He goes home at five in the afternoon. At six o'clock, he has dinner. He doesn't watch TV. He likes reading（读）books with me. He goes to bed at nine thirty.

   I have a good friend．She is a beautiful girl．She is lovely．She has two big eyes and she's thin．Her favourite colour is red．She likes wearing(穿着)a red dress．She can sing and dance．We often(经常)play together．

    Today is the Lantern Festival(元宵节), a Chinese festival. I invite my grandparents to come to my home. My friends also come. We have yuanxiao for breakfast. It is very delicious. Then we go to watch the yangge dance on the square. How interesting! In the evening, we watch the beautiful lanterns (灯笼). Everyone has a nice day.

    Helen was seven years old, and one day one of her teeth began hurting. She cried in her class at school. Her teacher said kindly, “What's the matter, Helen?” “One of my teeth hurts,” answered Helen.“Tell your mother about it," said the teacher,“and then go and see the dentist.”

    That afternoon Helen told her mother about her teeth, and her mother took her to the dentist later. The dentist examined the tooth and then he said to Helen,“It' s very bad. I'm going to pull it out, and then you are going to get a new tooth. It will be as nice as the others next year.” He pulled the tooth out.

    The next day Helen's teacher asked her about the tooth. She said to her,“Does it still hurt, Helen?”“I don't know. You'd better(最好) ask the dentist.” Helen answered.“Why?”the teacher said.“Because the dentist has got it," Helen answered.

    This is a nice new building in Shanghai. It is very tall. It has twenty stories. There are about eighty families in the building. That is to say, about two hundred and fifty people live in this building! I live here, too. My home is on the fifteenth floor. We have two bedrooms and a sitting room. They are bright and dean. There are a lot of big trees and beautiful flowers around our new building. I like to look out of the window in my room. I can see cars and buses running in the street. I can see people walking in the street, too. They look so small! I can also see a lot of tall buildings. How beautiful Shanghai is! I am happy to live in one of the nice new tall buildings.

Liu Mei: OK. Let me go and look for him there.
