Friday，April 23

    Today was a sunny day. In the morning, we rode a bike for three people. Max sat in a basket on the front of the bike. That was fun! We took pictures of the beautiful countryside. We bought some gifts and ate some delicious food.

In the afternoon, Mum ate some bad fruit and didn't feel well. So we stayed in the hotel. Dad and Iwanted to make her happy. We dressed up and made a funny play. Robin played the part of a dog. He was so cute. Max liked him so much. He jumped on him andlicked him. Of course, Robin didn't like it. We laughed and laughed.

    It was a bad day but also a good day!

    Do you think you can communicate (交流) without words?A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes".

    People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things.

    Books can tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books,magazines, TV and films all help us to communicate with each other. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
