    It's Saturday afternoon. A group of children are playing in the community park(社区活动区). What can they see in the park? They can see a long pink wood bench. Near the bench there is a bicycle. Whose bicycle is it? It belongs to (属于)Danny. Three kids are playing with a yellow ball near the pot plant. Look! There is a girl. She looks very sad. Why? She can't find her kite. There is a tall tree not far from her. You can see a boy and a small kite under the tree. Whose kite is it? The boy wants to know. Wendy says: "It's the girl's kite. She is looking for her kite. Let's give it to her." What are the children playing with now? They are playing with a blue balloon. They have a skateboard, too. It belongs to Wendy. They are playing happily.

    Hi, I'm Wang Tao. Now I live in Beijing with my parents. But five years ago, I lived in Sichuan with my grandparents. I was shy and quiet then. I swam in the small river in summer. I played in the snow in winter. I missed (想念) my parents.

    Now I'm tall and strong. I often cook dinner after school. I like playing basketball and drawing pictures. Sometimes I go fishing with my parents. I miss my grandparents now.

His hair is short and black. He has a new schoolbag. It's brown. In the schoolbag, he has a pencil box and many books— two English books, a maths book, a Chinese book, two notebooks and six storybooks.
