Mary is an American girl. She is now in Beijing with her parents. She doesn‘t know Chinese, but she is trying to study and speak it .She often tries to speak Chinese to her Chinese friends. Sometimes they don't understand (理解 )her, because she can't speak Chinese well.

    It's Saturday morning. Mary goes out. She is on her way to the park. She is going there to see a flower show But she doesn't know how to get there. She asks a Chinese boy. The boy can't understand her. Then she takes out a pen and some paper. She draws some flowers on it, gives the picture to the boy and says something about it. The boy smiles and then shows ( 指 ) Mary the way to the park.

    As we all know mother's love is the greatest love in the world. It's true that we should thank our mothers, without mothers, nobody could come to the world. I always believe the rule, so it's hard for me to feel father's love. I didn't realize how great my father was until last month.

    On a rainy day last month, I was sleeping in my bedroom when my father came in to wake me up. I was sleepy and upset, so I began to shout at him. He wasn't angry at all. Instead he said in a low voice to me, "Dear, it's time for lunch. I have already got everything ready for you. "I looked at the watch. My god, it was nearly twelve o' clock at noon. It was Sunday that day. That was why I got up so late.

    I went downstairs slowly and lazily. When I got into the dining room, I saw a table of tasty food. I felt surprised because all the food was cooked by my father himself. He had never done any housework before, because he was always very busy. I was still puzzled (困惑) why Dad cooked so much food for us two that day . Suddenly, I heard the voice of happy birthday. I was so excited that I cried, for I knew it was the first time I had felt father's love since my mom was not with us anymore.

Dear Jennifer,

    It's Tuesday, February 11^th. I'm really busy today. At 8 o'clock I have a math class.I don't like math class. Then I have a science class. It's difficult, but It's interesting. Next, at 10:00, I have a history. It's boring. But I have PE at 11:00. That's my favorite subject. I have lunch at 12:00. After lunch. I have a music class. I like my music teacher, Mr. Morgan. He is a fun teacher. School is over at 2:00. After school I do sports for two hours. I'm so tired, but I'm very happy.

Yours,

Linda

Amy is a girl from {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (澳大利亚). Yesterday she went to a farm with her family. She saw {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (相当) a lot of sheep on the farm. The farmer also 58{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(教) her how to grow strawberries. She had a wonderful trip, and next time, she wanted to learn to grow {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (土豆).

My home town Nanning is famous as the Green City. It's in the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of Guangxi. As the capital city, it has a population of over 

8.8 million. It's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} than any other city in Guangxi. What makes my home town great? Let me show you some {#blank#}3{#/blank#} about it.

 The first photo is about the Qingxiushan Park. It's beautiful {#blank#}4{#/blank#} flowers, hills and lakes. Most people enjoy many lovely flowers in different seasons there. Because the weather is very hot in summer but{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. very cold in winter.

 On the second photo, people are choosing fresh fruit in the busy market. We can buy it from southeast Asian {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, ve are in a food paradise (天堂). Delicious local foods are {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, such as sour food(酸嘢), Old Friend Rice Noodles and Lemon Duck.

 In the last photo, people are very {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to the visitors. They are always willing to lend a helping hand.

 Nanning means a' lot to me and it makes me {#blank#}10{#/blank#} who I am today. It is the perfect place in my heart.
