    There were two brothers. They had different ways of life. The elder brother lived in the countryside, got married (结婚）and had children. He lived a happy life. The younger brother travelled all around the world. He enjoyed himself during the travelling and collected many nice memories (回忆).When the two brothers were old, the elder brother had children and grandchildren. They took good care of him, he was happy. The younger brother had no children or grandchildren, but he had fantastic memories and he was happy too.

    I'm Lily. I am 12 years old. I like singing and dancing. I want to be a magician. My father is a lion tamer. My mother is a computer game tester. She likes computer. My father and my mother don't like playing baseball. But I often play football with my friends after class. Do you like me? Let's be good friends.

    Look, this is a picture of my new house. It's a big and nice house. The doors are blue. There are two bedrooms. The big one is for my father and mother. The small one is for me. Beside the big bedroom, there is a big living room. Can you see the sofa in it? It's red. I like it. The kitchen and the study are not big but very nice. In the study, there's a computer（电脑） on the desk. There are a lot of books on the desk too. There isn't a garden（花园） in my house. But there are some tall trees and flowers behind the house. I like my house very much.

    Jim likes sports, so he's tall and strong in his school. Now his father and mother work in London. He likes the game very much and plays it on Saturday and Sunday.

    His grandmother lives in a small village and one day she comes to see him. It's Saturday and she doesn't see the boy at home. So she goes to look for him in the school. She sees thirty boys are playing with only one ball. The old woman tells Jim to finish playing and go home with her.

    "But, Grandma, I..."

    "Don't play with them, my dear!" says the old woman. "I'm going to buy a ball for you!"

    Hello, I'm Lucy. I'm from England. I live in Beijing with my parents now. I've got many Chinese friends. We often play together. I visited Kunming with my parents last summer. We went there by plane. We saw folk dances. We had a good time!

    My name is Linda. My birthday is in winter. Winter is my favorite season. Christmas is in December. I can get many presents. It's very cold in January and February, but I can play in the snow, and I can go skating.
