Mother's Day is a holiday for mothers. On this day, mothers don't work. It's on the second Sunday in May. It's celebrated in the United States, England, Sweden, India, Mexico and some other countries.

    On that day many people sends presents of love to their mothers. Those whose mothers are still alive often wear a pink or red rose or carnation, while those whose mothers are dead wears a white one. The celebration of the first Mother's Day was held in Philadelphia on May 10, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular around the country and the world.

The lion and the goose

    It is a hot day in summer. A lion is walking along a lake. He is looking for something to eat. He is very hungry. A goose is swimming in the water. The lion is very happy to see him. “This is my lunch,” The lion says to himself（自言自语）.

“Hello Mr. Goose!” “Go away, you're bad lion” says the goose. “I have good news for you.” “What is it?” ask the goose. “I don't want other animals to hear it. Please come here.” Says the lion. The poor goose gest out of the water and runs to the lion. The lion eats him up.

    The traffic rule in England is different from that in China. When you are in England, you must be very careful on the street because the traffic drives on the left. You must look at the right first and then the left. If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. Then the people can cross the road on foot. If the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go. People mustn't cross on foot.

    When you go by bus in England, you have to be careful too. Always remember the traffic moves on the left. You mustn't go the wrong way. In many English cities, there are big buses with two floors. You can sit on the second floor. From there you can see the city very well. It's very interesting.

    A picture is on my desk. This is a picture of Jim's family. The man is Jim's father. A woman is behind Jim. She is his mother. They are teachers. A girl is in the picture, too. She is Jim's sister. Her name is Kate Green. Jim and his sister are in the same school. But they aren't in the same grade. They look like their mother. They are English.
