    Mike is a football fan. There is a football match between Chinese team and American team. He wants to watch it. He comes to the box office and gives the clerk 10 yuan. The clerk says, “Please give me another 10 yuan. The price of a ticket is 20 yuan.”

    “Why?” says Mike, “I just watch Chinese team. I don't want to watch the other team at all. Do you want me to buy a ticket for it?No, no, no...”

    In my family, there are three people. They are my mother, my father and I. My mother likes cooking, and my father likes reading. We are very happy, and play together a lot. My mother always looks after me, and my father looks after me too. I love my parents!

    One day, our teacher said to us, "We'll go on a school trip to a beautiful farm tomorrow. There are lots of plants and flowers. There are many fruit trees, too." I was very happy and I said, "Wow, I like fruit. I want to pick some bears!" Then my teacher said, "Meimei, we are going to the farm, not to the zoo. There are no bears at the farm." Oh, I made a mistake! I wanted to say "pear", the fruit, not "bear", the animal. It was very funny!
