Hi! I'm Jim. I'm from the USA. I'm nine years old. I have a big family. My father and mother are teachers. My brother Bob, my sister Kate and I are students. I have a dog, Coco. She has two big eyes. She's my good friend. I love my family.

    I'm Chen Jie. I don't go to school on the weekend. I often do my homework on Saturday morning. I play computer games on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday morning, I often read books and watch TV. In the afternoon, I help my mother do housework.

    Today is August 17 th. The sun is shining. The wind blows gently. It is very hot. The Lis are at the beach on holiday. Look, Peter is swimming in the sea. He swims very fast. His lather shouts to him: "Don't swim too far. The sea is very deep." Peter's sister Jenny doesn't like to swim in the sea. She is collecting shells on the beach. She has a lot of shells in her bag. There is a little boy beside Jenny. Fie is eating a banana. Then he puts the peel on the sand. "Hey, boy. Don't throw the rubbish on the sand. It's dirty." Jenny says. The boy's face turns red.

    My name is Li Lin. I live in Nanjing. My new home is on the eighteenth floor. We ride the elevator (电梯) up to our new home. It's much bigger than our old one. My bedroom is big and bright.

    From the window I can see many cars and people down in the streets. They look very small. The cars are like toys. At night we watch the lights go on over the city. The lights look like stars in the sky.

A naughty boy

    Tom had some bad habits(习惯). He was often late for class. He seldom(很少) cleaned his room. He loved watching TV before he finished his homework. He loved football and often broke(打破) the windows of the neighbours (邻居). His mother was very angry with him. She tried to change his bad habits, but Tom did not listen to her. They sometimes quarreled (争吵) with each other.

    Today Tom came back from the football field. He washed his hands before coming to the dinner table. His mother was very surprised(吃惊的). He told his mother that this was good for his health. He wanted to be a strong football player. He had to be more careful with his health and everything. His mother was very happy to see his change.
