There are three people in my family: my father, my mother and I.

My father likes skating. He can skate well. My mother likes reading books. And she has a lot of books at home. I like singing and dancing. And I often sing songs for my parents(父母亲).

    Mary is an American school girl. She is now in Beijing with her parents. Mary doesn't know Chinese, but she is studying Chinese. She often speaks Chinese to her Chinese friends. Sometimes they don't understand her because she can't speak Chinese well.

    It's Sunday morning, she goes out. She is walking in the street. She is going to the zoo to see elephants and monkeys, but she doesn't know how to get there. She asks a Chinese boy. The boy can't understand her. Then she takes out a pen and a piece of paper. She draws an elephant on it, and shows the picture to the boy. The boy understands now, and he shows Mary the way to the zoo. 

    There are four seasons in a year. Spring is the first season. Usually March, April and May make spring. It gets warmer and warmer. The days get longer and longer.

    Spring is the green season. The trees have new green leaves. There are a lot of flowers on apple trees, pear trees and peach trees. Some animals wake up from their long sleep. Birds sing to welcome the spring.

    Farmers are busy. They farm the land. People go on outings. Children fly kites.

    Everyone enjoys the spring.

    My name is John Smith. I live in London. I am an engineer. I work for a telephone company. I like different food. From Monday to Friday, I work hard. I eat simply. I have a large piece of cake and a bottle of milk for my breakfast. I have a small lunch. I usually eat a small sandwich and a large bottle of juice. I have fish and chips for my supper. After supper I have a chocolate ice-cream for my dessert(餐后甜点) On Saturdays and Sundays, I go to China Town. I have a bowl of rice and some meat and vegetable. Sometimes I eat Jiaozi or dumplings. They are delicious. I like Chinese food for my Saturday and Sunday supper.

I'm Sarah. Today is Children's Day (儿童节). It's sunny and warm outside. My family and I will have a picnic. We get up early in the morning. My little brother Sam has a white T-shirt and blue shorts. He's cool. I wear my pink dress. It's nice. I like it. Oh, no! It's eight o'clock. It's time to have breakfast. We have a picnic at a big farm. White goats, black horses, little ducks are everywhere. What are those black and white animals? Yes, they are cows! We drink some milk there. We have a lot of fun!
