The name of my best friend is Joyce. She cares about me a lot. She always helps me. I met her in Class 6 and became best friend. She is my true friend because she understands me very well and cares about my every need. I like her very much. I never had any friends like her ever before. She comes to my home and I also go to her home. Our parents respect(尊重) us very much and like our friendship. She is so important to me that I never want to lose her. Whenever I get absent(缺席的) from the class, she helps me do all the left homework and classwork. She is similar to me in many ways. She never argues with me. She is an open-minded girl and never feels bad about my misbehaviour. She is very funny and makes me laugh through her interesting jokes and talks in our spare time. She is very cute and attractive. And she draws everyone's attention by her smile. She always encourages me to do better in class and exams. We are good at sports and academic activities. We manage to share things in difficult times. We always perform better in class tests and main exams. 

Tom，Dick and Sam are all middle school students in New York.This summer holiday，they went to visit their uncle in London by air.Their uncle and aunt were very glad to see them.

On the first day，Tom said to his uncle， "Uncle John，my boys.Let me give you some advice.I have a farm.I farm.I will take you there to have a look.After that，I think you will have an idea."

The farm is very big.Their uncle grew rice，vegetables and a lot of flowers on it.Their aunt showed them her cows，sheep and ducks.The children were very happy to see all these things.Then Tom was going to learn how to plant the vegetables.Dick wanted to learn how to plant the flowers.And Sam was going to learn how to feed the ducks.

They worked hard on the farm.And they were learning fast.A few days later，they could do the work all by themselves.When the holiday ended，the boys had to go home.Their uncle gave them three big boxes.He said "Boys，you work very well here.Here are some presents for you.I think you will like them."

After they got home，they opened the boxes.There were some nice vegetables in two boxes and in the third one，there were four big fat ducks.
