I'm a primary school student. My name is Zhao Lei. I think most animals are very lovely. We often see dogs, cats, ducks, and geese in our life. We can see many other animals at the zoo. I often go to the zoo to see animals with my family. I like tigers and giraffes. I like giraffes' neck very much. It is very long. My father and mother like lions and monkeys. My little brother likes snakes. I don't like it. Snakes are very scary. I am very afraid of them. But my brother isn't afraid of snakes. He can catch a snake. Animals are our friends. We should love animals.

    Jiaozi is the Chinese name of dumplings. We have all kinds of dumplings with meat or vegetables in it. Jiaozi is very delicious and it is very popular (受人喜爱的) in China, especially (尤其) during Spring Festival. People usually eat jiaozi on the eve of Spring Festival. Why do people like eating jiaozi? Because Spring Festival is Chinese New Year. People eat round jiaozi to show their wishes for good luck. The history of jiaozi is about 2, 000 years. Eating jiaozi is a very happy thing. When all the families make jiaozi together, you'll feel very happy.
