Hello, I'm Tom. I go to a new school in Xi'­an. I have Chinese, maths, English, music, art and PE at school. I like Chinese. My Chinese teacher is Ms. Li. She is young and kind. My PE teacher is tall and strong. He is a good basketball player. Mr. Chen is my maths teacher. He is funny. My English teacher is Ms. Wang. She is not young and she is very strict, but sometimes she is very nice. I like my new teachers and I like my new school.

    It was the National Day. During this long holiday, Wang Bing did many things. In the morning, he went to the zoo with his parents. He found there were many birds, tigers, monkeys and elephants, etc. When Wang Bing threw bananas to monkeys, they became very excited.

    In the afternoon, they visited his grandparents. They were very happy to see each other. Wang Bing's father watched TV when grandpa showed some old photos to Wang Bing. They said much about past time. Wang Bing's mother and grandma cooked nice food for them. In the evening, they had a big dinner.

    This is Sarah's new home. There is a clock in the study. There is a plant in the living room. There is a water bottle in the kitchen. There is a big bed, a photo and a lamp in the bedroom. Look, the cat is on the bed now.

Jack has some new pencils. They are red, black, blue, white, yellow and green. Jack likes them very much. He draws with them. Now he is drawing a house. The door is yellow. The walls are green. The windows are blue. How nice it is! In front of the house he draws some yellow flowers. There is a black and white sheep behind the house. We all like the picture. We say we will put it on the wall of our classroom.

My name is Mingming. I'm a girl. I am a pupil. I'm ten. I'm in Class One Grade Five. Miss Li is our English teacher. Mr Wang is our Chinese teacher. They are good teachers. They like me. I like them, too.
