  A forest is a large area of trees．Forests are very important because they provide shelter and food for birds and insects．Birds make their nests in trees．Small animals and insects build their homes in the hollows of trees．Leaves，flowers and fruits are their food．In the past，People got wood from forests．Some people cooked food with wood．People cut down trees to make houses，furniture and paper．Now，Many animals in the forests die because they lose their homes and their food．We must stop cutting down forest．

    Mike must get up before half past six on weekdays, but he cannot get up so early in the morning. He often gets up at a quarter or ten minutes to seven and forgets things before he goes to school. So he often buys school things in a shop on his way to school. The shop opens early in the morning. It opens at half past six every morning. It sells cheap things, but they are something not very good. Mike often says, “I'm not going to that shop. The things in the shop are not dear, but they aren't good enough.” But he cannot get up early and he cannot remember to put away his school things before going to bed and to take all the things in the school bag! He has to go to that shop often.

    This is my classmate. She's a girl. Her name is Jane. She's twelve years old. She's thin and tall. She has long and black hair. She has two big eyes and a small nose. She has a skirt. It's red. She has a pair of trousers, too. They are red. But her skirt is old. She wants to buy a new skirt. Look, what can she do? Oh, she can skip a rope. This is her rope. It's long. It's blue.

    An old woman can't read or write. One day she asks a young man to write a letter for her. She wants to send the letter to her son. Her son lives in a city, not very far from here.

    "I can't write your letter." says the man, "Because I have a bad leg."

    "I know." says the old woman, "but you don't write with your legs." "Yes. But I can't walk so far and read the letter for your son."

    "What do you mean, sir?" says the old woman. "My son can read it by himself."

    "Don't you know?" answers the man, "that only I can read what I write."
