During the holidays, Amy and Tim want to do some cooking at home. They love chocolate cake very much.

Amy: Let's make a chocolate cake!

Tim: Good idea. Then what do we need?

Amy: We need a lot of chocolate, some milk, and flour, and…

Tim: Well, well, let's start! Can I heat the oven (烤箱) first?

Amy: Yes, please. Do we need a big bowl?

Tim: Of course. Here you are.

Amy: I want to put three eggs, some sugar, some chocolate, much flour and cream into the bowl.

Tim: Can I mix them?

Amy: OK. But don't play with the flour.

Tim: I know. Now I want to put the batter (面糊) into a pan (平底锅). Is the oven hot?

Amy: Oh, very hot.

Tim: Well, let's put the pan into the oven, and bake it.

Amy: OK.

    Miss White is an English teacher. She has short hair and big eyes. She's very nice. She walks to school every day. She usually has classes at eight thirty. She has lunch at school at twelve. After school, she likes playing table tennis with her students. She goes home at five o'clock in the afternoon. In the evening, she cooks meals for her family and then reads books. She goes to bed at ten o'clock.

    Tom usually gets up at 6. He walks to school and learns English and Maths at school. In the evening he usually does his homework. But yesterday he didn't get up at 6. He didn't walk to school and didn't learn English and Maths. He stayed at home and watched TV. Because yesterday was Sunday.

    I really enjoy Australia. Now I live with an Australian family.

    The family is very friendly. They often make a nice warm Australian meal for me every day.

    The family has a 16-year-old girl, Mary. We are the same age and become friends soon after I come to the family. We talk about the school, friends, TV, and many other things. On weekends I spend time with the whole family. I help them cook dinner. Sometimes we go to see a film, have a picnic or walk the dog. Mary also takes me to her friends' parties. So I get to make more friends.
