I'm Katy. I have many good friends, and Jema is one of them. I'm in Class Six, and Jema is in Class Eight. We first met in our school tennis club. Both (两个) of us like playing tennis, and we often practice together.

    I often visit Jema on the weekend: Sometimes we swim in the pool or go shopping with our friend Sarah. She is in our school dance club and dances beautifully. I went to Jema's house today. It was raining, so we couldn't go out.

    "Let's watch a movie," Jema said. "You're my guest (客人), Katy, so you can pick it."

    I picked a movie called Dance of Joy. It's about a girl called Susan who likes to dance. Susan has a cat named Albert. Albert chews (咬) her dancing shoes, so she can' t dance anymore. Luckily, she gets a new pair of dancing shoes. Albert surprises Susan by bringing her the new shoes in his mouth. It is a wonderful happy ending.

    I told Jema I loved the movie. She laughed and said she found it quite boring. She only kept watching it because I was enjoying it so much. I felt a little bad about it, but it's nice to have a good friend like Jema.

    Max is one of my good friends. I first met him two years ago when he knocked on my door (敲我的门)."Hello," he said warmly. "My name is Max, and I've just moved in next door, so I'm your new neighbor."

    Max is a handsome, well-dressed young man in his twenties. He is quite tall and thin with brown eyes and black hair. He likes wearing sports clothes. He works in a hospital and goes to work early every day.

    He has a great sense of humor (幽默感). I love to listen to his interesting stories. What's more, he is a very kind-hearted person, and is always ready to help people in need. He often does volunteer work (志愿者工作) in an old people' s home. Because of him, more and more young people in our neighborhood want to help there.

    He enjoys dangerous sports such as bungee jumping (蹦极跳). He is a great dancer, too. He goes to the dance club every Tuesday and Saturday.

    All in all, life is never boring when Max is around. Who wouldn't be happy to have him as a friend and neighbor?

    In 1961, a man found a strange cat on his farm in Scotland. The cat's ears were bent forward on its head. In fact, this was a new kind of cat. People named it the "Scottish Fold".

    The Scottish Fold has a round head and big eyes. Its neck and legs are short. Its body is generally round, which makes it look very cute. Interestingly, all the Scottish Folds are born with straight ears. And when they are growing up day by day, some cats' ears will begin to fold. So, the Scottish Fold comes in two types: folded ears and straight ears.

    Besides, there is a nickname for the Scottish Fold. It is the "Messenger of Peace". Why? Because the Folds are sweet and friendly animals. They can get along well with other cats. And unlike some other cats, they can even get along well with dogs. In many different environments, such as in a noisy house, or in a cat show, you can see them playing with other animals happily.

    Well, when you come to a new school, do you think it's difficult to adapt (适应) to the new environment? Perhaps you can learn from the Scottish Fold. That is: always be sweet and friendly to others.

    Toby, an 11-year old boy, is playing with a ball. The ball goes into the street and Toby runs for the ball.

    A car hits（碰撞） Toby. An ambulance（救护车） takes Toby to the hospital in 30 minutes. The doctors at the hospital tell Toby's parents, "Toby is in a coma."

    Every day, Toby's parents visit him at the hospital. They sit next to Toby's bed and talk to him. But Toby never talks to them. He just sleeps.

   One day Toby's father says, "Wake up, Toby. Wake up, come home and play with Rusty." Rusty is Toby's dog.

    When Toby's father says "Rusty", Toby moves his arm（胳膊）. "Rusty!" Toby's father says again. Again, Toby moves his arm.

    Toby's parents have an idea. They tell the nurse,

    "We want to bring Toby's dog to the hospital." The nurse says "OK".

    The next day, Toby's parents bring Rusty to the hospital. When they put the dog on Toby's bed, Toby opens his eyes and hugs the dog.

    Toby's parents bring Rusty to the hospital every day. One day, Rusty jumps onto Toby's bed and scratches（抓） his arm. Toby says his first words, "Bad dog!"

    After eight weeks, Toby is well. He leaves the hospital and goes home.

    Mr. and Mrs. Smith live in a quiet village. Last weekend, they went to a busy city for vacation. Mrs. Smith was very excited, because she was a housewife.

    She stayed at home every day. It was boring.

    After they got to the city, they would like to go to the movies first and then have lunch at a restaurant. At night, they would stay at a five-star hotel.

    "Wow! The plan is so great. I like it!" Mrs. Smith said. Then they went to the movies. After seeing an exciting action movie, it was time for dinner. They went into a restaurant and had a lot of delicious food there.

    "It is a nice place!" said Mr. Smith. Then he put his hands into his pocket to get the wallet. But he found it was missing.

    That night, everything changed. They didn't spend a romantic time at the hotel. Instead, they had to go to the police station for help.

    My best holiday trip is one to Fraser's Hill in Selangor. It was the school holidays and my parents had booked a small house on top of the hill just one and a half hours' drive from our home.

    We started early in the morning by car. My brother, sister and I sat in the car excitedly thinking about the cool weather and the walk in the wood. We arrived at Kuala Kubu for breakfast. It was a little town that had many old buildings.

    Further along the way, we stopped at the lakeside to take pictures. Along its banks were some villages. The journey up the hills was interesting with tropical rainforest(热带雨林).

    Finally, we reached the Gap where we were allowed to go up to Fraser's. When we reached the town centre, a strange clock tower, old police station, and cute golf course greeted us. We stopped for lunch at a Chinese food restaurant. Then, we got to the house we booked.

    It was eating, sleeping, or playing cards all day as it was raining. We looked cool in our jackets as we walked along the road for dinner in town that night. It was dark when we went back. We were excited using our torches(手电筒). The next day was spent at the waterfalls 15 kilometers away and walked near the town. We had lunch at a Hainanese restaurant before checking out at 1 pm. People there were very friendly. We thanked them and said goodbye to the cool place before we made our way back to the polluted city.
