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.

    Look at Tom's room. What a mess(乱七八糟)! His books are on the floor. His shoes are on the desk. A kite and some clothes are in his bed. Tom's mother comes to help him. She put the books away and says,"Look, your pencil box is under the books. You must take good care of your things."

    Hi. My name is Betty. I'm from Canada. I'm a student. I'm in Class Two, Grade Five. There are four people in my family. They are my father, my mother, my brother and me. My father is an English teacher. He works at a school. My mother is a doctor. She works in a hospital. My brother is a student, too. He is in Class Two, Grade Three. I love my family.

    In England, the children don't sit in line in classroom. They sit in groups. They sit around the desks. We do morning exercises in China. But they sing songs together every morning. In England they don't start school at eight o'clock. They start school at nine o'clock.

This is Ted's China diary.

Saturday, July 23   Sunny and hot

    Bill's family took me to Xidan today. It's a famous shopping centre in Beijing.

    We went to Xidan Bookshop first. Bill's father bought some books for me. He bought two English books about China and one English-Chinese dictionary. I am happy because now I can learn more about China and also learn more Chinese.

    Next we went to a big shopping mall. First I bought a lovely toy panda for my cousin. I also bought silk scarves for my mum and Tina, and a silk shirt for my dad. Then Bill took me to a special kite shop. There were so many beautiful kites. Bill bought me a kite that looks like a bird. Bill is going to teach me to fly it tomorrow.

    Last, we went to a restaurant. We ate delicious Beijing duck there. I really like Chinese food.
