In the City

(Aquarium  水族馆)

    There are five people in my family: my grandfather, my father, my mother, my brother and me. My grandfather is a farmer. He has a big farm. My father is a doctor. He works in a hospital. My mother is a teacher. She is very friendly. My brother is a driver. I am a student. I have no job.

    One day, the famous American scientist Albert Einstein came across an old friend in the street in New York. "Mr. Einstein," said the friend. "it seems that you need a new overcoat. This one is worn out!" "It doesn't matter," answered Einstein. "Nobody knows me here in New York." Seven years passed, and they met in New York again. Einstein had become a world famous physicist by then, but he still wore the same old overcoat. Once more his friend tried to persuade him into getting a new one. "There is no need now." said Einstein. "Everyone here knows me."

    My school is very big. It has sixteen classrooms. There are three hundred students in it. I'm in Class 2. Grade 4. There are two doors and six windows in my classroom. On the teacher's desk, there is a computer. We have twenty-five desks and fifty chairs. There are thirty boys and twenty girls in our class. We have three teachers. They are a Chinese teacher, an English teacher and a maths teacher. We all love our teachers.

     Mary is a very nice girl. She studies well. Her teachers and classmates all like her. She can jump high and far. She can run fast. But she can't play basketball and football. She can draw and sing well. She can wash clothes and make the bed. But she can't cook meals.
