    Mr. and Mrs. Green are from England. They teach English in Beijing.

    Their daughter (女儿)Alice and son Sam are with them. They speaks English very well. But they want to learn some Chinese. Alice is in Grade Five(五年级) and Sam is in Grade Two(二年级). They play with Chinese children every day. They listen to Chinese, speak Chinese, read books in Chinese and write in Chinese.

    Their family all like Chinese very much.

    I am a student. I like reading a book. Every week, I go to the Xinhua bookstore. Usually I go by bus, but sometimes I go by bike. I know the traffic lights are the same in every country. Red means stop. Yellow mean wait and green means go.  But some traffic rules are different in some countries. If you go by bike, by bus or by car, you should remember the traffic rules.

    It's Saturday today. It's a sunny day. John and Janet want to go to the cinema. Janet looks at her watch. "Oops! The film starts in twelve minutes.  We'll be late. We need eighteen minutes to get there. Let's run!"

     "Don't worry, Janet. I know a short cut," says John. Then John takes her a different way. They walk through the garden and out of the front gate. Suddenly they are beside the cinema. Janet looks at her watch. "I can't believe it. We have two minutes left. Thank you, John!"
