Hello, I'm Sam. I'm from England. Now I am in Beijing with my family.  I've got a pet dog.  It's lovely and nice.

    Tomorrow is Sunday. My sister Amy is going to have a birthday party. Now I'm making a card for her. Dad is buying things at the supermarket. Mum is making a cake for her. What can my pet dog do for Amy? Oh, it can sing and dance for her!

    My name is Jack . I am an English boy . Now I study in China. I usually have three classes in the morning and three in the afternoon . But on Monday afternoon , we only have two classes, so I often play basketball with my friends after school . In my free time , I like sing 、swimming and playing basketball. Sometimes I like playing computer games. What about you ?

    One day, Mr. Read and his son Robert were going out for a walk. He put on a pair of shoes together with a pair of different socks, one white and one yellow. As he came out of his house, his son noticed (注意) the colours of his father's socks and said, " you have put on two different socks, dad."

  When he heard this, he looked at his socks and found that his son was right. He was happy and said to himself, "What a clever son I have got!" Then he said to his n to go back to the house to get another pair of socks for him.

When the son went back to the house, all he could find was one white sock and one yellow sock. Robert then took the socks to his father and said, "It's no use changing! These socks at home are also different, one yellow and one white."

    One day, a monkey was looking for food. He came to a fence. There were a lot of big peaches inside the fence. He tried to get inside. But he failed. At last, he found a hole in the fence. But the hole was too small for him to go through.

    "What should I do?" the monkey thought. He wandered around the fence.

    Day after day, the monkey became thinner and thinner. At last, he could get through the fence.

    He ate a lot of peaches. He became fatter and fatter.

    He wanted to go outside, but the hole was too small for him. He couldn't eat anymore! He waited and waited. Eventually, he became thin enough to go out.

    Mr Smith is a kind man. He often gave money to a beggar (乞丐) on his way home. One day the beggar asked him, "What's the matter, sir? Two years ago I got one hundred yuan from you. Last year you gave me five yuan every time you saw me. But this year, you only give me one yuan." Mr Smith said with a smile, "Two years ago I was single. Last year I got married (结婚) and this year I had a baby."

    The beggar said angrily, "How can you support (供养) your family with my money?"

    Mr Smith was so surprised. He just went away without saying anything to the beggar.

Tim and Coco want to have a picnic at Cloud Park.

Tim: Here comes the bus. Let's get on!

Coco: No, Tim. We can't jump the queue (插队).

Tim: Oh, I'm sorry.

They are in the park now.

Tim: Let's play football!

Coco: No, we can't.

Tim: Why?

Coco: Look at the sign. It means we can't play football here.

Tim: What a pity!

Coco: We can play football in the school playground tomorrow.

    Tim and Coco have a good time in the park. They see many beautiful flowers. They hear the birds singing happily. They enjoy the sunshine too. It's time to go home.

Coco: Where's the exit?

Tim: Look at the map. It's over there.

Coco: OK. Let's go.
