There are no classrooms in Animal School, but there is a forest and a river. The forest is not small. It's big and green. The river is small, but it's long. Look, there are some animals there. Listen, what are they talking?

Mr Cow: Welcome to Animal School What's the matter?

Little Duck: I'm sad. I can't run, and I can't jump. I'm a bad duck.

Mr Cow: I don't think so. Please don't be sad.

Animals: Come on, everyone! Let's swim together!

Mr Cow: Have a try, Little Duck! You can swim very well.

Animals: Wow! Look at the Little Duck! He is so fast!

Little Duck: I'm the first! I'm so happy!

    Hello, I'm Peter. I'm a boy. I like playing basketball. I play basketball on Saturdays. I go to school on Mondays. I have lunch at school. I like meat and I like vegetables, too. What about you?

    How are you feeling? You missed school last week. Then I heard(听到) from Jason that you fell off your bike on your way to school last Tuesday. And you hurt your leg. I also heard you stayed in hospital for several days. I hope (希望) your leg doesn't hurt too much. Now you are at home. You must be bored(无聊的) staying at home all day. I will go to visit you this weekend. Do you need anything? If you like, I can bring(拿来) you some picture books. Everyone in our class misses you and we all hope you can get well soon.

Best wishes,

Jack
