Hi, my name is John. I've got a very happy family. My dad can play basketball and my grandpa can sing very well. My mum and I can speak Chinese. She can play football. My sister can dance, but she can't dance very well. She's only five. And I can play table tennis. I'm fantastic!

    Shari was excited about her birthday. She thought about new presents, but her mum said she had to donate some old toys because they had no place for new toys.

    Shari was not happy. She loved all her toys. On that day, her mum helped Shari put the old toys into three piles a "keep" pile, a "donate" pile and a "maybe" pile. Mum cleaned the "maybe" and "donate" toys, and put them in bags. Then they went to visit some poor kids and gave them toys. Many kids said they were the only toys they had. Seeing the kids' smile made Shari so happy. She went back to the car. Then she got the "maybe" bag out.

    I had a bad day today.

    My grandma was ill. She went to hospital, and I was very worried.

    I didn't finish my homework yesterday. My teacher was very angry.

    I played basketball with my friend Jiayi after school. I hurt my leg, so I was sad.

    My name is Paul. There are four people in my family. My father is a doctor. He enjoys reading and playing tennis. My mother is a teacher. She likes watching TV very much. But shopping is her favorite. On Sunday my mother always goes out to go shopping with my father. I have a little sister. She is in Grade One. She loves cartoons. I am a pupil in Class Two, Grade Six. I enjoy playing the piano and collecting stamps in my free time. They always make me happy.

    One afternoon John plays football in front of a house with his friends. A young woman comes up and asks him, "John, is your father at home?" "Yes, he is." Answers John. Then the young woman goes over to press the bell. The bell rings and rings, but no one comes to open the door. The young woman gets angry and calls to him, "You tell me your father is at home, don't you?" "Yes, my father is at home. But my home isn't here."

    There is a new park near my house. It's a fine day today. My family and I are in the park now. On my left, there is a cafe(咖啡馆). On my right, there is a big lake. There are many flowers and trees near the lake. There's a small hill behind the lake. Beside the lake, there is a sign. It says, “You mustn't swim in the lake！”There is a playground in the middle of (在……中间)the park. Next to the gate(大门) there is a small toy shop. The park is so beautiful. We like it very much.
