Last winter holiday , I went to Sanya with my parents by plane . Sanya is in the south of China. It's warm . We stayed there for a week . During the holiday , we swam in the sea, played volleyball and took many pictures . We visited the Tianyahaijiao , too . It was very beautiful .We had a great time there .

Dear Mum,

    How are you?

    I'm very well in Shanghai. It's a beautiful city. I like the place. And I made a new friend. Her name is Huanhuan. She's got long and black hair. She's got big eyes. She is tall and thin. She's clever. But she is a bit shy. She likes English best. And she works hard. She often helps me. I miss you. I will be back next month.

Love,

Belinda

    Mr. Ones and Mr. Brown worked in the same office. One day Mr. Jones said to Mr. Brown, “we are going to have a small party at our house next Wednesday evening. Would you and your wife like to join us?”

    Mr. Brown said, “Thank you very much. We are free that evening, I think. But I will telephone my wife and ask her. Maybe she will go somewhere else that evening.” So Mr. Brown went to the other room and telephoned. When he came back, he looked very sorry. “What is the matter?” Asked Mr. Jones. “Did you speak to your wife?”

    “No,” Answered Mr. Brown, “She wasn't there. My little son answered the telephone. I said to him “Is your mother there, David?” And he answered, “No, she's not in the house.”“ Where is she then?” I asked. “She is somewhere outside.” “What is she doing?” “She is looking for me.”

    The Smart Family (Smart一家人) are at the zoo. There are so many animals there. Sam can see a big tiger, it can eat bones (骨头). Amy can see a kangaroo (袋鼠), it can jump very far. Tom can see a snake, it can slide (滑动). Ms Smart can see a pig, it can turn around. How about Mr. Smart? He can see a lovely cat. It can climb the tree. They are so happy to see the animals, and they have a good time!

It is Tuesday today. Boys and girls are all at school. They usually come to school by bus. Their teacher is at school too. The English teacher's name is Gu Yan. She is young. She usually comes to school on foot. Look at the classroom of Class One, Grade Four. In this room, you can see a boy and a girl. The boy is eleven. His name is Jack. The girl is Emma. She is twelve. John is Jack's friend. He is an American boy.
