Lucy and Lily are sisters. This is their bedroom. It's not big but it's very nice. In the room you can see two beds. On Lucy's bed, there are some books, on Lily's bed you can see a kite and a toy. There are two chairs and a big desk in the room. There are some pens and a clock on the desk. Look! It's six o'clock. It's time to have dinner. They'd like some fish, beef and salad for dinner.

    A crow(乌鸦) is thirsty. He finds a little water in a bottle(瓶子). But the neck(颈部) of the bottle is long. The crow can't get the water. The crow thinks(想) and thinks. He puts some little stones in the bottle. The water rises up(上升). Now he can drink the water. What a clever crow!

    My grandpa lives in Changsha. He likes sports very much. There's a very big park near my grandpa's home. He plays sports there every day. My uncle works in a bank. The bank is on the right of the park. Behind the park, there's a shopping centre. My aunt always goes shopping there at weekends. Near the shopping centre, there's a cinema. My cousin and I often go there to see a film.

    Jimmy is twelve. He is an American. He lives in Honolulu, Hawaii. His parents came to Hawaii from China fourteen years ago. Jimmy was born in Hawaii. He gets up at half past seven. School starts at nine. He goes to school by bus. In the afternoon he always plays soccer. He is in the boy's team at his school. Jimmy dreams of playing in the American national team one day. His most precious thing is a football with the signature of a famous American player.

Dear Mum,

    Thanks for the new dress. I love it very much. It's hot in Sydney. I wear the dress to school. I want to buy (买) a pair of sunglasses, they're $85. They are too expensive. The food here is cheap. There is a farm next to my home. This is the vegetable garden. There are tomatoes and potatoes over there. There are animals, too. These are cows. They're so big. Mr Liu has twenty horses and ten hens on the farm, too. I like the farm!

Love,

Mary
