    Hi! I'm Sam. I love animals very much. Look at my dog. It has two big eyes. It's black. This is my cat, Mimi. It's one years old. It's very cute. I have four fish. Oh! Mimi likes (喜欢) the fish. And I have a bird, Woody. It's so beautiful! 

    Today is a nice day! The sun is shining. The birds are singing! Many people are p laying in the park! They are very happy! Look, the three girls are dancing! There are two boys flying the kite! There is a boy under the tree. He is listening to music. Some men are fishing. I love this day!

    A young boy was playing with a ball in the street. He kicked it too hard, and it broke the window of a house and fell inside. A lady came to the window with the ball and shouted at the young boy so the young boy ran away, but he still wanted his ball back. A few minutes later he returned and knocked, at the door of the house. When the lady answered it, he said, "My father's going to come and fix(修理) your window very soon.”

    After a few more minutes, a man came to the door with tools in his hands. So the lady let the boy take his ball away.

    When the man finished fixing the window, he said to the lady, "That will cost you ten dollars."

    "But aren't you the father of that young boy?" the woman asked. "Of course not," he answered, "Aren't you his mother?"

    Do you know Big Ben? Big Ben is not the name of a man. It's the name of a big clock in London. This clock has four faces. So, no matter which direction( 方向) you stand in, you can read the time on the face of Big Ben. The minute hand on each face is about four metres long. If you go to London, you may want to visit the Houses of Parliament(国会大厦). In that place, you will find Big Ben sits at the top of the clock tower. You will probably hear it and see it. The big clock makes such a loud sound. It strikes every quarter of an hour. Big Ben has been the most famous symbol of London.
