    I'm Amy. I live in a big city. Usually my father goes to work by car. He likes driving, but he doesn't like driving to work. Why is that? Because it takes too much time. There is always a lot of traffic. His car is very slow. He goes home very late every day. And he is very tired（累的）. He doesn't like playing with me after work. Today, he is happy. "There is going to be a train near our home! I am going to work by subway next year. It is fast. I can read newspapers on the train. I can listen to music, too!" My mom says, "Then you can come back early and cook the meals." I say, "You can play with me after work."

    Lishui is not a big city. But it is very clean and beautiful. There is a lake in the south of the city. It is called Nanming Lake. Zijing Bridge is over it. Around the lake you can see some mountains.

    on the weekends, little children enjoy(喜欢)flying kites in the park. Old people usually have a walk near the lake. Young people often play games in the water. Some people like boating on the lake. We watched the Chinese Dragon Boat Racing(龙舟赛)here in 2014.

    Lishui is famous for(以……闻名)its fresh air, clean water and beautiful motmtains. Many friends come here for a travel. Welcome to Lishui.

    Hello, I am Mike. This is my father. He's tall and strong. He's a driver. He likes fish and vegetables. That is my mother. She is beautiful(漂亮的 ). She is a teacher. She likes noodles and eggs. And I am a student. I like beef.

    Two hundred years ago, there were no telephones or mobile phones in China. People wrote letters to get in touch with their friends or relatives.

    Once there was an old woman, she lived alone in a village. Her son was working in the city. One night she missed her son. She could not get sleep. She wanted to write a letter to him. But she could not read or write. After some time she got up and knocked on her neighbour's door.

    “Mr. Lee, could you please write a letter to my son for me?" she asked. It was the middle of the night and Mr. Lee wanted to sleep. He didn't get up or open the door. He said loudly to the woman, I wish I could help you but I have a problem. My handwriting is very bad at night. Only I can read it. If I write the letter now, I'll have to visit your son and read the letter to him. Maybe you should come back tomorrow.”
