It was a sunny Sunday. Alice walked to Linda's home in the morning. She studied with Linda. They read books. They did their homework and ate some ice cream together.

    In the afternoon, they went to the park to fly kites. Suddenly Alice's kite flew into a small lake. A cute dog jumped into the lake and picked up the kite. Alice was so grateful to the dog.

    Many years ago, life was very different. There weren't any buses. We walked to work. We lived in a small house. We didn't have any televisions or telephones. We didn't have enough food. We didn't have new clothes. Now there are lots of buses and cars. We go to work by car. We have big new televisions. We watch TV every day. Everyone has a telephone. We wear new clothes. We are very happy now.

The tortoise and the rabbit

    Rabbit loves running. He can run very fast. One day, he sees a small green animal with a hard shell(壳).

    "Hello," Rabbit says, "Who are you?" "I'm a tortoise." "What do tortoises like?" "We like running," Tortoise says. Rabbit laughs. "I can run very fast. Let's have a race (赛跑)."

    Rabbit is very fast. Tortoise is very slow. "I will (将会) win (获胜)," Rabbit thinks. Then he falls asleep (睡着的).

    Tortoise walks and walks. He walks past (经过) Rabbit and gets to the finish line (终点线). Tortoise wins!

I have a sister. She is six years old. She is very beautiful and lovely .She has a round face and big eyes. She has long black hair. And she is a little fat. She likes pink and blue. So she always wears a pink dress and blue trousers. She can dance very well.

She has dance class every Sunday. She likes junk food, she likes hamburgers, fried chicken and chips best. But my mother always says to her, “Don't eat too much junk food. It's bad for your health.”
