My name is Amy. I'm a student. I have five books in my bag. I have a good friend, her name is Bai Ling. She is a Chinese girl. I like white and yellow. She likes blue and red. We play together. Her father is an English teacher. Her mother is a doctor.

   I have a new friend. He's Tony. He's a Chinese boy. He likes animals. His father is an English teacher. And Tony's English is very good. His mother is a dancer. She's kind and pretty. They live in Shanghai. On weekend, he visits his grandfather with his parents.

    It's Sunday today. The weather is not very good. It's cloudy. Sam wants to play in the park. Every weekend (周末), there are lots of people in the park. Some people walk or run there. Some children fly kites or play games there. Sam likes to ride his bike in the park. He is always happy at the weekend.

    It's Sunday morning. The students of Class 3 are giving their classroom a good cleaning. Miss Huang, their teacher, is working with them. The children are busy. Some are carrying water, some are cleaning the windows, others are sweeping the floor. Zhang Hua is putting up a map on the wall. It is a map of China. Wang Fei and Wei Qing are mending some broken chairs. The children are listening to the radio while they are working. The classroom looks nice and bright after the cleaning. The children are very happy. They go home for lunch at noon.

    Water is very important for living things. Without water, there can be no life on Earth. All the animals and plants need water. Man also needs water. Water is found almost everywhere. Even in the driest part of the world there is some water in the air. As we all have found out, water may be solid, liquid or gas. When it is solid, it may be as hard as brick. When it is liquid, you can pour it out of a container. When it is gas, you cannot see or feel it. Although about 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water, there are many places in the world still running out of water. So we should make good use of water on Earth.
