    Bill and Sally are good friends. They usually go to art museums on Sundays. Bill likes Chinese ink paintings. And he likes paintings about animals. His favourite artist is Xu Beihong. Sally likes oil paintings. Her favourite painting is Sunflowers. It's a picture by Vincent van Gogh. She likes the colours.

    Shari was excited about her birthday. She thought about new presents, but her mum said she had to donate some old toys because they had no place for new toys.

    Shari was not happy. She loved all her toys. On that day, her mum helped Shari put the old toys into three piles a "keep" pile, a "donate" pile and a "maybe" pile. Mum cleaned the "maybe" and "donate" toys, and put them in bags. Then they went to visit some poor kids and gave them toys. Many kids said they were the only toys they had. Seeing the kids' smile made Shari so happy. She went back to the car. Then she got the "maybe" bag out.

    It's Sunday tomorrow. A basketball match will be held in a gym near my home. We can walk there in twenty minutes. My brother and I are going to watch it. I am so excited, because I am a big basketball fan. The match is between a Chinese team and a Japanese team. The match is going to be at three o'clock in the afternoon. We are going there on foot after we finish our homework. We think we can come back home at about four fifty in the afternoon.
