Today is the Lantern Festival(元宵节), a Chinese festival. I invite my grandparents to come to my home. My friends also come. We have yuanxiao for breakfast. It is very delicious. Then we go to watch the yangge dance on the square. How interesting! In the evening, we watch the beautiful lanterns (灯笼). Everyone has a nice day.

    Mike eats breakfast five times a week . He doesn't eat breakfast on Saturday and Sunday . He washes the dishes twice a week . He washes them on Saturday and Sunday . He waters the plants four times a week . He doesn't water them on Monday , Wednesday and Friday . He always sets the table . He sets the table from Sunday to Saturday . He washes his dog once a week . He washes it only on Saturday . He goes swimming twelve times a month . He swims on Monday , Wednesday and Friday . But he never cleans his room .

    Kitty, put the books in the bag. Peter, put the box on the desk. Mum, put the apple on the plate. Ben，put the pencil in the pencil case. Tom put the ruler in the pencil case.

    It is 12 o'clock. The students are in the classroom. They are having a break (休息). Linda is drawing a horse. Ann is helping her. They can draw very well. Ben is playing his drum. It's noisy! I don't like this noise. Sally is singing an English song. She is good at singing. She wants to be a singer(歌唱家). Sandy is eating some French fries(薯条). They are nice. I can see a sign on the wall, it .says, "Don't chase in the classroom."

Dear Binbin,

    How are you? It is summer in Sydney. It's very hot. I wear a T-shirt and shorts. I'm going to Beijing next week. What's the weather like in Beijing? What clothes should I wear in Beijing?

    See you soon.

Yours,

John

    Hi, I'm Tom. Welcome to my new school! It is very beautiful! It has a big playground. I like to play football with my friends there after school. Near the playground, there is a library. There are many books in it. I like reading. I often read books in the library. Look! That is my classroom. It is on the second floor. There are 40 pupils in my class. In the class, there are 18 girls and 22 boys. They are all friendly. I love my school!
