We had a really interesting class this morning. We talked about detectives. Detectives are a special type of police officer. Their job is to investigate serious crimes like murder. 

"My sister used to1 a detective,"said Mr Thomas. "Wow!" I said. "2 she enjoy the job?" "Yes, she did," said Mr Thomas, "but it3 easy." Then he told us all about his sister's job. She used to work at night and used to work long hours. She had to

4 clues. She had to interview suspects. She had to work really hard to solve the murders.

Later, Mr. Thomas told5 to make up a story about a detective from the past. He didn't want a real detective, we had to create one! We had to give our detective a name and tell about their daily life. I6 my detective Inspector Bach. Here's how I described him: Inspector Bach didn't have hair, but he had a beard and a mustache. There was a scar on the end of his nose, and he liked touching it. Inspector Bach used to solve crimes, especially murders. He did it in a different way—by listening to music."I7 get my best ideas then,"he said. Inspector Bach liked working alone because"I like to be quiet, it helps me think."It was a fun task!

Look! This is our living room. There is a brown {#blank#}1{#/blank#} .I make it tidy（整齐的）. Some books are on the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} .I put them in the study. This is my bedroom. The {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  is near the window. It's clean now. The toys are on the floor. I put {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  in the box. This is our kitchen. There is a green {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  in it. It's very tidy. And I also clean the floor. I like cleaning. I'm a good helper at home.

A man was travelling abroad in a small red car. One day he left the car and went shopping. When he came back, the car's roof was badly damaged.

Some boys told him that  an  elephant t had damaged it. The man did not believe them, so they took him to a circus(马戏团) which was near  there. The owner of the elephant said, "I am very sorry! My elephant has a big, round red chair. He thought that your car was his chair, and he sat on it!"
    Then he gave the man a letter, in which he said that  he was sorry and he would pay for all the damage. 
    When the man got back to  his  own country, the customs officers(海关人员) did not believe his story. They said, "You sold your new car while you were abroad and bought this old one!"
    It was only thing the man could do was to take out the letter from the circus man. At last, the officers believed him.
