Mary is a little girl. She is only four. She is not at school. She can't read or write. But her sister Joan is a schoolgirl. She is ten years old. She can read and write.

    One day, Joan sees her little sister in the room. She is at the table. There is a pencil on her hand. She is writing.

    "What are you writing, Mary?" she asks.

    "I'm writing a letter to my friend Rose."

    "Buy how can you? You can't write," says her sister.

    "Well," says Mary, "it doesn't matter. Rose can't read"

    Welcome to our city. It is a big and beautiful city. Look! This is a park. It's very big. It's in front of an Italian restaurant. We can eat pizza there. That is a post office. I usually help my father send letters. I often go there on foot. It's not far from my home. The cinema is near the post office. I'm going to see a film with my friend tonight. We can get to the cinema by bike.
