Hello! My name is Kim. I'm from the U. S. I am a tall girl. I like basketball best. I often play basketball with my friends on the playground. We have two teams—the White Team and the Yellow Team. I am on the Yellow Team. Each team has five players. My favourite basketball player is Yao Ming. I like him best and I want to be a basketball player like him.

    Hi, I'm Tom. Welcome to my new school! It is very beautiful! It has a big playground. I like to play football with my friends there after school. Near the playground, there is a library. There are many books in it. I like reading. I often read books in the library. Look! That is my classroom. It is on the second floor. There are 40 pupils in my class. In the class, there are 18 girls and 22 boys. They are all friendly. I love my school!

    My name is Bob. I'm a student. I have a new friend. His name is Tim. He has big eyes. He has white glasses and his shoes are blue. We have a new classroom. It's very big. The teacher's desk is big and yellow. The white computer is on it. The fan is blue. It's near the window. Look! There are two storybooks on the desk.

    In December 2010, Mary got a surprising gift. A young man Ray came to visit her with a shirt. It was a shirt with a picture of Spiderman.

    Six years ago, Mary's son Tom was ill in hospital. Ray was in hospital, too. The two children liked to talk about Spiderman. But later, the two boys were in different hospitals. In November 2010, Ray saw the shirt with Spiderman on it in a shop and bought it. He wanted to give it to Tom.

    But Ray didn't know that Tom died two years ago. Ray cried when he heard it. But Mary thought his visit was a great gift for her.
