Tai Lihua is a Chinese woman. She is very beautiful. As a child, she became deaf and dumb(哑的). She couldn't hear or say. She was very sad. Later, she had a teacher. The teacher taught her to dance. Though she couldn't hear, she was very hard­working. She danced very well. Now, she is very famous. She is not sad any more.

    I have a good friend at school. He is an English boy. His name is Tom. He is twelve. We're in No. 2 Middle School. We're not in the same class. He is in Class 4. I'm in Class 2. Tom's father is an English teacher. He works at our school. Tom's mother is not a teacher. She is a doctor.

He is getting the kite from the tree. But he can't get down. Jim is helping Li Lei. Li Lei is jumping to the wall. They are getting down from the wall. Kate, Jim and Li Lei are mending(修理) the kite under the tree. They are good friends.
