My name is Tom. I like shopping very much, but I never go shopping on weekends. There are too many people in shop. I don't like shopping with other people. It usually takes me much time to buy things because I never buy the first thing I see. I always look around other shops to find the same thing cheaper. I'm good at finding cheap things. I don't like buying food in small shops or street markets. I think food in the supermarket is fresh and cheap.

    Hello, I'm Peter. I'm a boy. I like playing basketball. I play basketball on Saturdays. I go to school on Mondays. I have lunch at school. I like meat and I like vegetables, too. What about you?

    Xiaomeisha Beach is in Yantian, Shenzhen. It is in the east of Shenzhen. The water is very clear. It's a great place for holidays. People can enjoy the sunshine and collect shells on the beach. The shells are colourful and beautiful. People can swim and enjoy nice seafood there. And there are many restaurants by the sea.

    Earth Day is on April 22nd. It was startedby an American Nelson. In 1970, about 20 million(百万) Americanscelebrated the first Earth Day. Every day, we take important things from theearth, like trees, water, and oil. Our factories, cars, and garbage(垃圾) make the air, water, and land dirty. If we are not careful, wewill have no trees, no clean water and air, and no food. Earth Day tells us tobe kind to the earth. Use less water, plant more trees... The earth is ours, sowe should help the earth every day, not just on Earth Day!

    Some kids are afraid of seeing the dentist, but not me. I have a funny dentist. His name is Dr. Smileface. Why does he call himself Dr. Smileface? Because he always smiles to all the kids. He has a cool waiting room. It has a big toy box. Dr. Smileface always wears funny hats. He has his face painted. He asks funny questions like "Do you eat flowers to make you so beautiful?" That makes me laugh. One time, he told me this joke, "What has lots of teeth but never goes to the dentist? A comb!" When I laughed, he pulled my tooth. It didn't hurt at all. He also teaches us how to take care of my teeth.

(New words:  joke玩笑,  teeth牙齿,  comb梳子,  smile微笑,

take care of照顾)

The man in the center says, "Sure. Here you are." He calls his father. His father says, "I'm at the hamburger shop." Steven thanks the man. Now he can find his dad.
