Jim：Hi, Kate！What's the weather like in Shanghai today?

Kate：Hi, Jim！It's sunny and warm here. I'm going to the zoo this afternoon.

Jim：Sounds good.

Kate：Jim, how's the weather in Beijing now?

Jim：It's cloudy. It's going to rain. So I can't fly a kite in the park.

Kate：Oh, I see.

Jim：Do you know the weather in Guangdong?

Kate：It's too hot. The children there usually go swimming in the river.

Jim：Oh, I like swimming, too. But I can't swim now. It's cold here.

Dear Jenny，

    Are you having fun in Hangzhou? I am now in New Zealand with my mum and dad.

    Yesterday we went to Sky Tower(塔). Sky Tower is very tall. It is 328 metres! There are 25 restaurants in this tower. Last night we had dinner in a restaurant called Sky Lounge. The food was very yummy.

    There is a big store on the first floor. We went there after dinner. I bought you a kite.

    Tomorrow we are going to the zoo. I can't wait to feed the animals there!

    See you in Hangzhou!

 Your friend,

David

    One day there are four blind men under a tree. They are talking about elephants. An old man is riding an elephant past them(经过他们身边). He lets them touch it. A blind man touches the ear. He says the elephant is like a fan(扇子). A blind man touches the tail. He says the elephant is like a rope(绳子). A blind man touches the leg. He says the elephant is like a tree trunk(树干). A blind man touches the body. He says the elephant is like a wall. What about you?

    Welcome to my room. It's small but nice. There is a clock on the wall. There is a bike near the wall. There is a bed near the window. There are two desks and chairs beside the bed. There is a water bottle in the room. There is a plant near the door. I like my room very much.

    My name is Tim. I'm nine years old. This is my sister, Alice. She's ten years old. Today is my birthday. We have a big birthday cake. I'd like some milk and cake. But Alice doesn't like cake. She likes apples and juice. What's that? Is that a cat? No, it isn't. It's a toy cat. Look at the head. It's white. Look at the body. It's black. How lovely! We like it.
