I often {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to the park by bike on Sundays. Last Sunday, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to the park with my friends. We {#blank#}3{#/blank#} many beautiful flowers and trees in the park. It was very hot. We {#blank#}4{#/blank#} some ice cream. My friends {#blank#}5{#/blank#}me to fly a kite.  We had a great time. 

Mike:  Let's go to the supermarket.

Mary:  Okay.

Mike:  I like this toy car. Do you like it?

Mary:  No, I don't. I like that teddy bear.

Mike:  These potatoes are good. I want to buy some.

Mary:  I want to buy tomatoes. They are good, too.

    Many years ago, people use a stick, a large piece of wood and dry leaves to make a fire. Today, wood, gas (煤气) and electricity (电) can all make a fire. I think wood is the most dangerous. And I like gas most because it's easy.

    People use fire in many ways. At home, people use fire to cook food and boil water. In factories, workers use fire to melt (熔化) metals (金属) to makes things of different shapes. Some workers use fire to make glass.

    Fire can help us to do many things, but sometimes fire is dangerous. Cigarettes and campfires can all start a fire in the countryside, in schools and at homes. We must be careful. We mustn't smoke in the countryside, and we mustn't cook without an adult (成年人). We mustn't play with matches. We mustn't play around a fire.

Dear Ben,

    How are you doing?

    It is spring now. It is warm and surrey today. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}The clouds are white. I go to Rainbow Park with my parents. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}We have a picnic and take some photos too. I see many beautiful flowers there. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}I can smell the flowers too. They are nice. There are butterflies and bees. I like butterflies. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}In the park, we can ride bicycles. Our bicycles are new. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} {#blank#}6{#/blank#}How about you?

Best wishes,

Maria

    Western people like to say "Thank you" when other people help them or say something kind to them. "Please" and "Thank you" are magic words that can show your good manners. You should say "Thank you" when someone passes you something. You should say "Thank you" too when someone walks ahead of you and keeps the door open for you. And also, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful, you would say "Thank you". The magic words are not only for your friends, but also for your family.

    "Excuse me is another way to show your good manner. When you hear someone say "Excuse me" behind you, you will know somebody wants to pass by you without touching you. If some people are talking, it's impolite to interrupt them. You'd better say the magic words first, and then begin talking.

    Let's say more about these magic words "Thank you" "please" and "Excuse me" in our life.

    Today is Daming's birthday. Jim is going to make a birthday card for him. Jim's mum is at the supermarket. She's buying things for the party. But bags are too heavy. There is a birthday cake. There is a special gift for Darning. The gift is three balloons. They say "Happy Birthday, Darning!" Darting will have a great party.
