    Look! This is a picture. It is about Jenny's birthday. Her birthday is on May 25. On that day last year, she invited her friends to her house. Li Ming, Tom and I went to her house. We had a very good time. Before eating the birthday cake, we sang the birthday song for Jenny. She was very happy. And we were happy, too. After lunch, we went out to play in the park. We had fun all day.

    Today is Monday. It is sunny today. There is a sports meeting in our school. There are many students and players on the playground. Some basketball players are playing over there, and their classmates are watching. Some girls are running. There is a big tree on the playground. Some boys are jumping under the tree.

    Mary went out with her mother yesterday. They went to the supermarket to buy some things. They went out at nine o'clock. They got there at half past nine. They went there by bus. They bought lots of things. They were tired but they were happy.

Dare pen pal,

    My name is Jack. I am from the USA. I am nine years old. I like basketball, and I am good at it. I often play basketball with my friends on the weekend. It is fun. I also like ping-pang. But I can't play it well.

    I am going to China with my parents by plane next month. I am happy and excited. I want to make new friends there. I also want to learn to play ping-pang.

    Can you play ping-pang? Are you good at it?

Yours

Jack
