Helen and her mother are in the supermarket. Where is the shop assistant? Look, she's coming and smiling. "Hello, can I help you?"

    "Can we have some durians and strawberries, please?"

    "Sorry, we have some strawberries, but we haven't any durians."

    "Can we have some plums?"

    "OK, here you are."

    "Oh, the strawberries are red and big. But the plums..."

    "The plums are small but they are sweet. Taste one, please."

    "Mm, they are sweet. We like them."

    Then Helen and her mother buy some fruit. They are happy.

    Hello, friends! My name is Chen Jiamin. I am a boy. I have some toys. Look at my toys. They're nice. I have a boat. I have a plane. I have a bear. I have a ball. I have a kite, too. I love my toys. Do you have toys?

    There are many rules in my family. I am not happy because they are boring. First, I should get up early because I have to go to school. Next, I shouldn't watch TV on school nights. On the weekend, I should do my homework, and then help my mum to do housework. In the evening, I can't go out to play with my friends. I should go to bed early. My parents think that the rules are good for my study. They don't know I'm interested in running, playing basketball and writing. I don't want to follow(遵守) the rules.
