Jenny is my good friend. She is eleven years old. She comes from America. Usually she goes to school on foot, because her home is near. Jenny's mother is a teacher. She goes to work by subway, because it's fast. What about her father? Her father is a doctor. He goes to work by car. On weekends, Jenny and I often go to the park. Sometimes we have a picnic. It is very funny.

Tom: Jack, is it warm in spring in Shanghai?

Jack: Yes, it is.

Tom: I like winter best. Because it's very cold. I can skate.

    Tom is a little boy. He is five. Today his father takes him to see his grandparents. His home is far away from his grandparents'. So they are going there by bus. There are only nine people on the bus. They all have seats. Tom is very happy. He is running about on the bus. His father says, "Don't run! Sit down, please." "I miss my grandfather and grandmother very much. I want this bus to go faster," Tom says.

    Tom is seven. He goes to school every day. The school is near his home. So he goes there on foot and comes back home on time (准时). But today he is late. His mother asks him: "Why are you late today?" "I was in the teachers' office." "Why did you go to the teachers' office?" "Because my teacher asked us a question in class, and nobody (没有人) could answer it, but me."

    "It's good to answer the teacher's question."

    "But the question was 'Who put the ink (墨水) on my chair? '"
