    This is Mike's bedroom. You can see a desk and a bed in the room. On the desk, there is a backpack and three books. One is a Chinese book, the other two are English books. There is a clock on the desk, too. You can see a baseball under the desk. On the bed there is a box. Can you guess what's in the box? Ah, it's a new computer game. It's the present(礼物) for Mike's seventh birthday.

    Hi, I'm Wang Tao. Now I live in Beijing with my parents. But five years ago, I lived in Sichuan with my grandparents. I was shy and quiet then. I swam in the small river in summer. I played in the snow in winter. I missed (想念) my parents.

    Now I'm tall and strong. I often cook dinner after school. I like playing basketball and drawing pictures. Sometimes I go fishing with my parents. I miss my grandparents now.

    Miss Su is our teacher. She likes to tell us about her weekends. She usually gets up early on Saturdays. She does exercise in the garden for about half an hour. Then she has her breakfast. She doesn't do housework in the morning. She often plays with her dog for about two hours in the park. The dog runs and jumps happily. She has lunch in a restaurant near her home. She enjoys walking down the street and saying hello to her neighbours. In the afternoon, she cleans her house. She often cooks dinner for herself. Then she watches TV. She enjoys her weekends very much.

    Look at the people in the park. Some girls are rowing a boat. Mr Smart is running. Lingling is taking pictures. Amy is singing. Sam is jumping, he can jump very high. Grandma is reading.
