Mr Black is a very large man．He has a loud voice．He is not a giant，but he is much bigger than most men．

    Life is not easy for Mr Black．He cannot find clothes big enough．His feet are too large for most shoes．In buses，trains and planes，he cannot stand up straight．The roofs(顶)are too low．At home，his bed is too short，chairs are always too small．Mr Black has problems because of his size．

    So Mr Black stays at home most of the time．Lire is easier at home．

One day，a friend says，"You spend too much time at home．You should go out and play．There's a good movie at the cinema．"

"I can't sit in cinema seats，"Mr Black says．"l'm too big．"

"That is no problem." his friend says．"l'll buy you two tickets．You can get them at the cinema when you go．""That's a good idea．"Mr Black says．He puts on his best clothes and goes to the cinema．

"You have two tickets for me．"he says to the woman in the ticket office．"My name is Black．"

"0h，yes，Mr Black，"the woman says，"Here you are，seats G4 and Pl2．I'm sorry，you and your friend can't sit together because we are very full this evening．"

Poor Mr Black! He smiles sadly，walks out of the cinema and goes home．

    Today is Saturday. Mike is going to the nature park with his classmates. They are going there by bus and the bus station is next to Mike's home.

In the evening, he is going to see a film. He will have a good time on the weekend.

    There are many people in the street. Two boys are running. A car is coming from behind. It is very dangerous! A girl is riding a bike and talking on the phone. It is not safe. A young man is waiting for the green light. That is safe.

    Many children are playing in the park. Some are playing football and some are jumping rope. Some boys are swimming in the lake. That is dangerous.
