My name is John. I am a pupil. I like to read books on Sundays. I live in a house beside the zoo. It's near the school. So I walk to school every day. Tom is my friend. He lives far from the school, so he goes to school by bus. He likes to play on the computer on Sundays.

    Spring Festival is an important festival in China. At Spring Festival, people buy some flowers and put them in their houses. The children get red packets(红包) from their grandparents. They burn firecrackers(爆竹). And they have a big family dinner. They eat dumplings. They can see dragon dances(舞龙) and lion dances(舞狮). It's very interesting.

    Dinah was a kind girl, but she was very lazy. She didn't like to do anything. Her mother wanted her to do some reading, but she didn't want to.

    One day a boy named Joy came and brought a pair of skates (滑冰鞋)with him. Dinah liked the skates very much. She ran after Joy when he walked on the skates. Joy let Dinah put on his skates. The girl was very happy. “Listen, Dinah.” said the young man. "if you start to read, I'll send you a good pair of skates on the first day of January."

    From then on, Dinah did lots of reading. On the first day of New Year, she got a new pair of skates from Joy.
