My favourite festival is the Spring Festival. People also call it Chinese New Year. It often comes in January or February every year. It's very important to every Chinese. We always have a big family dinner together. We often eat fish and dumplings. At night we watch firework and watch TV. We eat sweets and peanuts(花生). We go to visit relatives and friends. We often get red packets with some money in them. We can buy some toys and books. We say “Happy New Year” to each other at the Spring Festival.

    Good morning, this is the weather report. It's rainy in Shanghai. You must take your raincoat. It's cold in Beijing. Please put on your boots. It's snowy in Harbin, we can make a snowman. It's sunny and warm in Hong Kong. You can play football. That's all. Goodbye.

    Today is Saturday. It's sunny. My parents and I go to the zoo. First, we go to see monkeys. Look at these monkeys! Some are playing with each other, some are swinging in the trees, some are making faces, and some are eating bananas.

    Then we go to see peacocks. How beautiful they are! They have got long tails and small mouths. They all wear colourful clothes. They are dancing together happily.

    I am very happy because I see many lovely animals. I hope people can get along well with animals forever.

    Miss Su is our teacher. She likes to tell us about her weekends. She usually gets up early on Saturdays. She does exercise in the garden for about half an hour. Then she has her breakfast. She doesn't do housework in the morning. She often plays with her dog for about two hours in the park. The dog runs and jumps happily. She has lunch in a restaurant near her home. She enjoys walking down the street and saying hello to her neighbours. In the afternoon, she cleans her house. She often cooks dinner for herself. Then she watches TV. She enjoys her weekends very much.
