George was a quiet, serious young man. He had been studying very hard for one year, and when he passed all his exams, his friend Jim went to give him his congratulations and then had an earnest talk with him.

  “You've never been to a dance, George.” he said. “It's boring always studying and never enjoying oneself. Come out with me this evening.”

  “Maybe you're right, Jim,” replied George after a moment of hesitation.

    So they went to a dance and had a very good time. But George drank more than he was used to, and by midnight Jim became worried about him, so he said, “now we'll walk home in the cool air.”

    On their way home, they came to a bridge. George looked down at the river below very carefully, the stars were reflected on its surface.

  “What are those lights down there?” George asked.

  “They're the stars, George,” Jim answered.

  “The stars?” George said. “Well, then, they should be above in the sky. How did I get so high up here? They are now at my foot!”

    Hello, my name is Sam. I like English very much. My favourite food is salad. It's delicious. My favourite drink is tea. It's healthy. I can sing English songs and play the pipa. Today is Saturday. I often read books, do my homework and wash my clothes on Saturdays. What do you do on weekends?

    My home is near a river. You can see two bridges over it. There are some mountains behind my house. Welcome to my home.

    There is a frog(青蛙). He lives in a well(井) and he never(从未) goes out of the well. He thinks the sky is as big as the mouth of the well. One day a crow (乌鸦)comes to the well. He sees the frog and say, “Frog, let's have a talk.” Then the frog asks, “Where are you from?” “I fly from the sky,” the crow says. The frog feels surprised (惊讶)and says, “The sky is only as big as the mouth of the well. How do you fly from the sky?” The crow says, “The sky is very big. You always stay in the well, so you don't know the world is big.” The frog says, “I don't believe (相信).”But he crow says,“ You can come out and have a look by yourself.” So the frog comes out from the well. He is very surprised. How big the world is!

    Last month, there was a one-hundred-metre race. Ten boys ran in the race. Here are their results:

Cathy: Mom, look, there are some birds.

Mom: Which bird do you like?

Cathy: I like the green one. It's more beautiful than the blue one.

Mom: Which bird is stronger?

Cathy: The blue one is stronger.

Mom: I like the blue bird. I think it's younger, too.

Cathy: But the green bird's tail is longer.

Mom: Yes, I think it's about 20 cm long.
