    My name is Emily. I am a student at a primary school. My school is not big but beautiful. There are 54 classrooms in our school. My classroom is on the first floor. In my class, I have a good friend. Her name is Alice. We have many hobbies. I like flying kites in spring and making snowmen in winter. She likes flying kites. But she doesn't like making snowmen. She likes having picnics. I usually fly kites with her in the park on Sunday.

    I have a good friend. It is a dog. It's 3 years old. It has two big eyes and two big ears. It's yellow. It lives on a farm. It likes sport. Its favorite food is chicken. It catches mice at night. I like it very much.

It's a rainy day. A woman with a dog gets on a bus. It's a big dog and its feet are not clean. The conductor doesn't want the dog to sit on the chair. But the woman says to the conductor, "Oh, I will pay for my dog. Can he sit here like the other people?" The conductor looks at the dog and says, "Yes, madam, but like the other people, he must not put his feet on the chair."

There aremany idioms in China. Most of them have only four Chinese words. But there arerich stories in the Chinese idiom book. Do you want to know more about theidioms? Let's take a look.

In theSpring and Autumn Period, the State of Wu and the State of Yue were neighbours.But there were always wars between them.

During onewar, Wu defeated Yue. Goujian, the king of Yue, was caught. Fuchai, the king ofWu, sent Goujian to do some hard work, like feeding horses. Goujian was veryangry, but he didn't say anything. He just did what Fuchai asked him to do. WhenFuchai got sick, Goujian looked after him day and night.

Threeyears later, Fuchai let Goujian go back to his own state. After getting home,Goujian began to plan his revenge(复仇). He didn't want to forget his hard time. So he slept on thebrushwood at night and tasted the gall every morning. The brushwood was coldand the gall was bitter, just like his days in Wu. Goujian kept asking himself,"Did you forget the past time three years?"

Goujianworked hard all the time. He worked with farmers and trained with soldiers. Hemade his people rich and his state strong. A few years later, Goujian led hisarmy to defeat Wu.
