I like museums．Yesterday l went to visit the toy museum with my parents．It was my first time to visit there．I was very happy．

    We went to the first floor，we saw many old toy buses．The seats were broken．They could move slowly． But they made a lot of noises．They were interesting! I like them!

    Then we went to the second floor to see the old toy cars．There were many old cars there．I thought they were all very beautiful，but my father didn't think so．He thought they were old and small．

    On the third floor，we saw some toy planes! My father felt very excited．H e likes planes very much．When he was a little child，he wanted to be a pilot，he climbed up one plane and my mother took a picture for him．He was cool in the picture。

    We were all happy yesterday．The visit was great．My parents and I are going to visit it again next weekend!

    Western people like to say "Thank you" when other people help them or say something kind to them. "Please" and "Thank you" are magic words that can show your good manners. You should say "Thank you" when someone passes you something. You should say "Thank you" too when someone walks ahead of you and keeps the door open for you. And also, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful, you would say "Thank you". The magic words are not only for your friends, but also for your family.

    "Excuse me is another way to show your good manner. When you hear someone say "Excuse me" behind you, you will know somebody wants to pass by you without touching you. If some people are talking, it's impolite to interrupt them. You'd better say the magic words first, and then begin talking.

    Let's say more about these magic words "Thank you" "please" and "Excuse me" in our life.

    My father often takes me to the zoo, because I like animals very much. It is winter. The days are getting cold. Many animals stay in their houses. The elephants are big. They like to eat vegetables and bananas. The bears are by the elephants. They are brown. They like to sleep in winter. I go to say hello to them, but I can't wake them up. There are many monkeys in the Monkey Mountain. They feel cold, and they hide in the holes. A mother monkey takes a baby monkey in her arms and makes it warm. The pandas are lovely. They stay in the warm house and eat nice food. Many other animals in the zoo are happy in winter.
