Hello. I'm Peter. I'm a pupil. I go to school and study the boring knowledge(知识) every day now. I hope our school will change in the future. Schools will be different then. They will be under the sea, on high mountains and even in space. Robots will help us find books in the library and do our homework at home. We will use computers in all our lessons. They will help us see dinosaurs and other interesting things. We will have lessons with students from other countries. We will do a lot of things online together. We won't carry books to school. All our books will be on a small computer.

    Hi! I'm John. I'm in Sydney now. It's great! It's hot and sunny here. The water is warm. I can swim outside. But it's cool and windy in Beijing.

My Wonderful Holiday in China

    In Beijing, I visited the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Summer Palace. I also met all Bill's friends and family.

Last week, Bill's family took me to Xi'an by train. Xi'an is in the northwest of China. We visited the Terracotta Army there. They are so amazing! We also ate some delicious noodles there.

    Then we went to Sichuan. It's in the southwest of China. First, we went to see the pandas in Wolong. They are very cute. Then we climbed Mount Emei. The mountain is very beautiful. We saw many funny monkeys on our way. I was very tired, but very happy. We ate some delicious hot pot there. Sichuan is famous for hot pot.

    Tibet is in the southwest of China, too. We went there by plane from Sichuan. It was sunny and hot in Tibet, but there was still snow on the mountains. We visited the famous Potala Palace and took many photos.

Questions:

    I have a pretty pet. Her name is Polly Bird. When Polly was young, she lived in a birdhouse. Now she lives in a birdcage. When Polly was young, she couldn't sing. Now she sings all day long. When Polly was young, she couldn't eat birdseed. Now she can eat birdseed.

    When Polly was young, she couldn't fly. Now she flies out of the birdcage every morning. She flies back into the birdcage every evening. When Polly was young, she didn't like our pet rabbit Lulu. Now she plays with Lulu every day. When I am sad, Polly sings to me. She makes me happy. I love Polly very much.

    Jack is busy this weekend. He visits his grandma on Saturday morning. It is his grandma's birthday. They cook noodles together. After lunch, he helps his grandma do housework. In the evening, they watch TV together. On Sunday morning, Jack plays football with his friends. Then they go to the bookshop and buy two storybooks. In the afternoon, he washes clothes and listens to music. After dinner, he does his homework and reads his storybooks. He is very happy because the stories in the books are very funny.

    In China the weather is different in different places. In Beijing in January and February it is cold and windy. In February in Shenzhen it is warm and wet. In November and December in Beijing it is cold and snowy. But in Shenzhen it is cool. In Sydney it is sunny and hot. It is cold and rainy in June and August. It is cool and windy in April and May. I don't like hot or cold days. And I can't swim and I don't like skating. I like cool days. It is a nice day. We can go to trip. If I have time I can go to see many places in the world.
