My summer holiday is coming to the end．During the holiday，we went to Dalian for a visit，I saw the beautiful sea there，it was really amazing．The sea water was as blue as the sky，and it was very clean．Also，the beach in Dalian was very nice，we built a small sand palace．When I was swimming in the sea，as if I was a little fish．I like that feeling very much．I also spent time to study for school．I read many books，practiced math problems，and I finished all of my homework．I was very happy．

Hans Christian Andersen

    Hans Christian Andersen was a great writer.  He wrote many famous fairy tales for children all over the world.

    Andersen was born in 1805. When he was a little boy, his father read him a story every day. His father died when he was 11. He had to leave school and started working. He loved reading books very much, so he went back to school at 17. His first book came out in 1835. From then on, he wrote about one book a year for 37 years. Some of his famous fairy tales are The Emperor's New, Clothes and The Ugly Duckling. He died in 1875.

    Many children enjoy reading because of him.

    Look, Class One, Grade Four, it is our classroom. Let's go and see our classroom. It's a nice classroom. We like our chairs, we like our desks, too. Mr. Yang is our teacher. Miss Gao is our teacher, too. We like our classroom.

One fine Sunday morning, Robert would like to go fishing in a river nearby. He says goodbye to his mother and goes out. When he gets to the river, he finds some other boys there. They try to catch fish, but there are not a lot of fish in the river. Robert catches only one. Happily, he puts in into his jar with some water.

In the afternoon, he sees more fish in the river. Quickly he takes off his shoes and walks into the water. He put his nets into the river. But the fish swim away. When he gets back to the jar, he doesn't see the fish.

He gets home late with nothing in the jar. His mother asks him, "Do you have a good time?" Robert answers, "No, but the fish does."
