My name is Sally. I am a school girl. My school is far from my home. So I can't go to school by bike. I often go there by bus. I must get up very early every morning. I have no time for breakfast at home. I often eat something for breakfast on the way(在路上). I want to go to school on time(按时).

    Good morning. This is the world weather report. It's warm in Beijing today. Children can play football outside. It's cold in New York. And it's snowy. Children can make a snowman. It's cool in Toronto. Children can fly a kite. It's hot in Sydney. Children can swim in the sea.

    Hello! I'm Sam. It's my birthday. I'm nine. Here are my birthday gifts. How many gifts? Look! Two pens, three pencils, a bag, a cake, and a doll（玩偶） panda. Look at the panda. This is her head. It's white. This is her leg. It's black. What's that? Is that a bird? No, it isn't. It's a duck. Look, this is his body. It's blue. That is his head. It's red. And his foot is yellow.

    Hi, I'm Jack. I have a new bag. It is green. There are（有）twenty books and a pencil box in it. In my pencil box, there are ten pens, one eraser and thirteen colourful crayons and two pencils. My pencil box is green. I like my new bag and pencil box very much. What about you?

    In every country in the world, people make music and listen to music. In many schools, children have music lessons. In their lessons, they can learn to sing songs and to play music on the piano or guitar. But do you know that learning music can help your reading, spelling and maths, too?

In the USA, scientists tested 90 school children. If children had more music and art lessons, they could get better marks in maths. Their reading was better, too.

    A fox is hungry. He is looking for food. He sees a frog.

    "Ha ha! A frog! My dinner!"

    Behind (在后面) the fox, there is a tortoise (乌龟). He bites (咬) the fox's tail.

    "Ouch!" cries the fox and he looks back. The frog hears the voice and jumps into the water.

    "Thank you, little tortoise," says the frog.

    But the fox is very angry. "I'll throw you to the sky!"

    "Thank you, I like flying in the sky," says the tortoise.

    The fox stops, "I will throw you into the river."

    "Oh, no! I can't swim. I will die(死) if(如果) you throw me into the water."

    The fox threw the tortoise into the water quickly (快速地).

    "Thank you, Mr Fox. Bye-bye."" The tortoise and the frog swim away together.
