    Last weekend we had a birthday for our classmate Zhang Xiaohui. She is younger than me, but I am shorter than her. And she looks stronger. Of course she is heavier than me. We went to a shop to buy a present for Xiaohui. What did we buy? We bought a doll for her. Because she told me " I haven't got a lovely doll." When she got our present she looked excited. She was very happy. We went to the zoo. We saw elephants. We wanted to row a boat in Jingming park, but it was later, we had to went home. We had a good time on that day.

    It is summer holiday. I don't go to school these days. I am going to Hainan Island(岛)with my family, Mum, Dad and little brother.

    Now it's one o'clock in the afternoon. It is hot and sunny. Mum and Dad are sitting under a big umbrella. Mum is wearing a pair of sunglasses and she is drinking juice. Dad has a towel on his face and he is sleeping soundly(睡得香). “Where is Susie?” Mum asks. “Here I am”, I answers. “I am swimming in the sea.” Look, Tommy, my litter brother is watching me near the sea. Because he can't swim. He only wants me to play ball games with him.

    An old woman wants to go to New York to see her son. She gets up early and gets to the station at nine o'clock in the morning. When does the train come and leave? She's very worried. She stops a boy and asks him.

    The boy looks at the woman and says. “tu…tu…tu…” The old woman sits in a chair and thinks and thinks. Then she says, “Oh, I see.”

    My name is Lily. My father is a police officer and he can stop bad people. He often goes to work by car. My mother is a secretary and she works in a big company. She usually goes to work by taxi. I am a student and I go to school on foot. I like science. So we are going to visit the science museum on Saturday morning. And then we are going to buy some comic books in the evening. On Sunday, we are going to visit my grandparents. We will have a happy weekend.

No Car Day

    No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998. It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1000 cities around the world have had a No Car Day.

    The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001. Other cities, including Taipei, Shanghai and Wuhan also support (支持) the day.

    In Beijing, more and more people are joining the campaign (运动). It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on Beijingers not to use cars on June 5 (World Environment Day). The slogan (口号) for the day is, "If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day."

    So far, more than 200000 drivers have shown their support. "We can't control (控制) the weather, but we can choose not to drive," said Wu Zonghua, a car club chairman. Beijing is trying to have 238 blue sky days this year. In the first quarter (季度) of 2007, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same period (时期) last year. Much of the dust comes from the desert, (沙漠) but cars cause most of the air pollution. We must do more for No Car Day.
