    We often eat beef, chicken, fish and mutton at home. We never eat pork. Do you know why? Because we are Muslims. My friends never say "pig" or "pork" to me. I like my friends.

    I want to be strong, just like an ox. I like eating chicken and beef. They are tasty. I also like dumplings and I can make dumplings. They are traditional Chinese food.

    I also like to drink Coke. But my mum doesn't want me to drink it. She says it is not good for me. She gives me milk. I want to be a tall boy in my class! I like milk now. I drink milk every day.

    On a sunny spring day, Dad, Mom, Jack and Emily are in the car. They are going to have a picnic. They stop by the lake.

    Look! The children put on their hats and play ball. But the wind blows Emily's hat away. Dad is fishing. He wants to catch a big fish in the lake. But he catches Emily's hat. He gives the hat to Emily.

Then they are all hungry.

    Mom takes the picnic basket from the car and the other three help put the food on the picnic blanket. They have cheeseburgers, apples and orange juice. What a nice day!
