    In this summer holiday，my mother，father and I go to Hong Kong(香港). We visit many places of interest and buy many gifts. I buy a toy car for my little brother and a doll for my cousin. My father buys a shirt for my grandfather and some delicious snacks(美味的小吃) for my grandmother. My mother buys a watch for my father. But she doesn't tell him. It is a surprise for my father. She also buys a beautiful dress for me. I like it so much.

    My name is Tony. It's Monday today. Here are some activities in my day. In the morning, I get up at 7:00 and then I do morning exercises at 7:20. And I eat breakfast at 7:50. I go to school with my friend at 8:00. In the afternoon, I play sports with my classmates at 4:00. I eat dinner with my family at 5:30. And I go to bed at 9:00 p.m. What a nice day.

Liu Tao: Hello, boys and girls. Welcome to Liu Tao's snack bar.

Yang Ling: Wow, cool. It's not big but it's very nice.

Liu Tao: Here's the menu. Please have a look.

Children: OK. Thank you.

Wang Bing: I'd like two hamburgers, please.

Liu Tao: What about you, Yang Ling and Su Hai?

Yang Ling: A sandwich and some orange juice, please.

Su Hai: Me too.

Liu Tao: OK. Here you are.

Children: Thank you.What a nice snack bar!

    Most English people have three names: a first name, a middle name and the family name. Their family name comes last. For example, my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name .My parents gave me both of my other names.

    People don't use their middle names very much. So “John Henry Brown” is usually called “John Brown”. People never use Mr., Mrs. or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr. Brown; but you should never say Mr. John. They use Mr., Mrs. or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.

    Sometimes people ask me about my name. “When you were born, why did your parents call you Jim?” they ask. "Why did they choose that name?” The answer is they didn't call Jim. They called me James. James was the name of my grandfather. In England, people usually call me Jim for short. That's because it is shorter and easier than James.
