I'm a lovely girl. You can call me Li Li. I like the blue sky and white cloud. I also like colourful flowers. I love my family. I love my father and mother. I go to school from Monday to Friday. Our home is near the school. We have a house. It is a clean and beautiful house. The house has three rooms. One is a living room. The other two are bedrooms. In the living room,  there is a table and six chairs. There are some flowers on the table. There is a garden in front of the house. I often play games and take pictures in the garden. Our house isn't big, but we like it.

    My name is Peter. I'm 11 years old. I'm 140cm. like winter very much because I can make a snowman and play with the snow. It's very interesting. My friend Mike is 1 year younger than me, but he is 5cm taller than me. He also likes winter because he likes ice skating. Next winter holiday, we're going to Harbin to see the snow in the north of China. It will be very cold, and we can play with snow every day!

    I'm Sam. I'm from Australia. I live in Beijing now. I have two friends. They are Jack and Ann. Jack is eleven. He's from Canada. He likes eggs. He can cook the meal. He often helps his mother on Sunday. Sometimes he goes to the park. Ann is ten. She's from Britain. She can play the violin. She often goes shopping on Saturday. Sometimes Ann plays computer games. Jack and I often play basketball on the playground.

    Sports are good for people's health(健康). Many people like sports.

Old people usually do exercises in the morning. Some like walking and dancing. Some like Taichi(太极拳).

    Students play different sports at school. They can join sports clubs. They can play with their classmates. They can play basketball, table tennis, badminton and volleyball. Sports can help students grow tall and strong.

    Many people play sports at weekends. They go to parks and gyms. But some people just run on a running machine(跑步机) at home.

Americans think much about time. From children they learn to value (珍惜) time. As children they are taught to be on time to go to school, to work and to do everything. When they are having a good time, they say that time flies. When a person is dying (垂死的), they say he is living on borrowed time.

Time is money. Time is knowledge (知识). Time is everything in America. A working American has to work hard for eight hours a day or forty hours a week. This is the working time. In his spare (空闲的) time, he also works hard for more money. Even on Saturday or Sunday he also works hard as usual. In the street you can not see that a man walks slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running. They love time because time can bring them money and a lot of things. But sometimes they also hate time, because they feel that they have become servants (仆人) of the clock.
