My name is Amy . I'm eight . I go to school on Mondays . My father doesn't go to work on Saturdays . He plays football on Saturdays . My mother and I go shopping on Saturdays . My little sister watches TV at home on Saturdays .

    In China in 1997, Pang was working in the forest when he saw something unusual. He got scared. There was a strange man. He was tall and hairy. He threw a big stone to the strange man. The man was hurt. He shouted and ran away. Next year, he went to the sea. In the evening, he saw many large fish. It was getting dark. There was a huge snake. It came toward the boat dived under it and came up on the other side after some time.

    My dad works from Monday to Friday in a bank. He uses the computer to count money. His job is very important in the bank.

    Dad is also busy at home. At weekends he cooks dinner. Usually he cooks Italian food. On Sundays he makes five pieces of pizza. Sometimes he cooks chicken and makes Chinese food. My mum watches and helps him. I help my dad, too. I wash the dishes.

    Many people think it is strange for a man to cook. But my dad enjoys his hobby. Cooking relaxes him. He is a weekend cook.

    It's Sunday tomorrow. A basketball match will be held in a gym near my home. We can walk there in twenty minutes. My brother and I are going to watch it. I am so excited, because I am a big basketball fan. The match is between a Chinese team and a Japanese team. The match is going to be at three o'clock in the afternoon. We are going there on foot after we finish our homework. We think we can come back home at about four fifty in the afternoon.
