Miss Dinsmore lived in a little house. She bought it two years {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. She wished it looked happier, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} she decided to paint it a bright(鲜艳的) color.

Miss Dinmore went to a paint store. She saw many {#blank#}3{#/blank#} there—yellow, red, blue, green... It was hard to choose.

"I know what to do,"said Miss Dinmore at last. "I'll draw pictures of my house {#blank#}4{#/blank#} all of these colors. Then I'll choose the best one."

 Then Miss Dinmore started to draw a lot of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of her own house. "All of the pictures of my house are beautiful," said Miss Dinmore. "But I still can't decide which color will {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my house happier."

One day, a neighbor saw Miss Dinmore's pictures. She liked {#blank#}7{#/blank#} very much. "I'll tell others,"she said. "Everyone will want to see your pictures.

It was true. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the neighbor told others about it, and a number of people came to see the pictures. "What a nice little house you have,"everyone said.

"It is a nice little house,"said Miss Dinsmore quietly. "But I wish it looks..."

She stopped and looked around. Her little house was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} of people looking at pictures, drinking tea, talking and laughing. They all {#blank#}10{#/blank#}a good time. "It's a nice little house," she said again. "And it's a happy little house, too—when good friends come to visit me."

My name is Sally. I am a junior high school student from Guangdong. My school life is very busy but exciting. I have eight lessons a day. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} But my favourite subject is labour(劳动). I have two labour classes every week. I like labour classes because I can learn much from them.

In June 2024, some junior high school students in Guangzhou visited the Guangdong Museum. As for my school, we also go out of the classroom to learn new things. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}It is usually from 17th to 22nd in September. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} We can plant some trees and flowers. We clean our school. We also learn to cook. Now I can cook tomato and egg noodles. It's easy. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} And I can cook the noodles by myself when my parents are not at home.

Sometimes we also go to the farm and help farmers. 

We can pick some fruit and vegetables. We learn that the work on the farm is difficult. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

Having labour classes makes us learn something new. I love labour classes so much.
