Five years ago，we lived in a small house. There was a small tree beside the house. There was a small dog in my house.

    Now，we live in a big house. There is a big tree beside the house. There are three dogs in my house.

    It was cold yesterday. Tom didn't go out. He did housework. Sam went to play football. And he had a cold （感冒）. He feels worse today. He has got a fever (发烧）。Lili phoned him. She will come to see Sam. Sam's mother cooked lunch. They had noodles and eggs for lunch. Sam drank lots of hot water. It is good for her.

    It is winter. The weather is cold and dry. The wind blows and blows. It blows on my nose. It blows on my face. I feel very cold. My coat is old and small. I need a new one. And I need a hat, a scarf and a pair of gloves. Sometimes it snows in winter. I like to play with snow. I can make a snowman. I like winter. Do you like winter?
