The National Day is coming. I'm going to Beijing to see the Great Wall. I'm going to with my parents. We're going there by plane. It's very fast. When I come back from Beijing, I will go to visit Grandpa's farm. It's so big. I love it! Oh, I can't wait!

It's Sunday today. It's sunny. I go to the park with my parents. Look! I go to the park playing football with my father. My mother is listening to music. A boy is playing football with his father, too.

    Hello, I am Jack. Today is Saturday. Look, my sisters are playing games. My mother and I are cleaning the room. My brother is writing a letter. My father is reading a newspaper. My grandparents are watching TV. My cat is sleeping on the floor. We are all having a happy time.

    There are three pupils in the picture. What are they doing? They are catching insects in the park. The girl is catching a butterfly with a sweep net. The boy in blue is catching a beetle on the tree. The other boy with a cap is catching a ladybird on a stone. Now the ladybird is on the ground. It is moving towards a tree. Can it climb the tree? I don't know. Let's wait and see. Oh, it can climb. Look! It is climbing up the tree. It can jump, too. An insect usually has six legs and two pairs of wings. Catching insects is very interesting. Some insects are good. They are our friends. Some are bad insects. You can catch and kill the bad ones.
