I have four good friends. They are John, Amy, Mike and Jim. We often play together. Now we are in the zoo. We see lots of interesting animals.

    Look! Two bears and a kangaroo are eating bananas. The monkeys are jumping up and down the hill. Some parrots are singing in the tree. The dogs are playing with the cats.

    How interesting !

    Father's Day is a very new festival in British compared with Mother's Day, which has been a very popular festival in the UK for a long time.

    Father's Day started in America. Once there was a man called William Smith, whose wife died and he had to raise six children by himself His daughter Sonaro, thought when she grew up what her lather had done for them. So she thought that there should be a Father's Day festival. Later, the tradition was born, falling on the third Sunday every June.

    Britain took the idea of Father's Day from the USA and it has been popular since then.

    What do British people do for Father's Day?

    Well, most people would buy their fathers a card. The card would have a nice message in it saying what a great Dad their father is. Some people do buy presents as well.

    Popular gifts for Dads are probably ties, chocolates or socks because these are things that Dads can always use even if they don't want them.

    Some families might do things together to celebrate it. As a special treat, British people might give their Dad a bit of rest--make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car to make him feel really relaxed.

    Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright are brothers. Their job is to mend bicycles. In their spare time, they like inventing things. One day, they are watching some birds flying in the sky .They want to fly in the sky, too. They think they should invent a flying machine, so they can fly in the sky too. But it's a hard work to invent a flying machine. They work very hard. First, they watch how the birds fly. Next, they draw a picture of a flying machine. Then they build the machine, it is heavy and ugly, the machine can't fly to the sky. So they work again and make it lighter. Finally, they make the first plane in the world, though the plane only flies in the sky for twelve seconds.

    An old woman can't read or write. One day she asks a young man to write a letter for her. She wants to send the letter to her son. Her son lives in a city, not very far from here.

    "I can't write your letter." says the man, "Because I have a bad leg."

    "I know." says the old woman, "but you don't write with your legs." "Yes. But I can't walk so far and read the letter for your son."

    "What do you mean, sir?" says the old woman. "My son can read it by himself."

    "Don't you know?" answers the man, "that only I can read what I write."
