    Hello, friends! My name is Linda. I am a student. I get up at seven every day. Then I go to school at eight o'clock. I have Chinese class at 8:30. I have English class at 9:30. I eat lunch at 12:00. I have music class at 2:30. I like singing very much. I have PE class at 3:30. I go home at 4:30. I do my homework at 6:30 after dinner. I go to bed at 9:30. What about you?

Jim: Excuse me! I want to go to the supermarket. But I don't know where it is. Do you know?

Sue: Yes. It's near the park.

Jim: How can I get to the park?

Sue: You can get there by bus. The bus stop is just over there. You can get off the bus at the fifth stop. Then you can see the park. Go down this street and it's on the right.

Jim: How long does it take to go there by bus? 

Sue: It's about one hour.

Jim: Thank you.

Sue: You're welcome.

    American schools begin in September after a long summer holiday. There are two terms in a school year: the first term is from September to January, and the second is from February to June. High school students take only four or five subjects each term. They usually go to the same classes every day, and they have homework for every class. After class they can do many interesting things. After high school, many students go to universities. They usually have to give a lot of money to the university. So many students work after class to get the money for their study.

    The students take many nice photos at Century Park. Jill, Alice and Rose are showing them.

Rose: Look, these are my photos. This is Peter. He has a cap. It's yellow. He is beside the pond. He's watching the ducks and the fish. They are swimming in the water.

Jill: These are my photos. Look, Kitty is in the plant house. She is drawing a big tree near the flowers. Miss Fang is helping her.

Rose: Look at my photos. Steven and Jim are near the fountain. The fountain is small, but it's nice. They are sleeping under the big tree.

    Look! This is a picture of a room. It's Linda's room. It's not big, but it's clean and nice. There is a small bed between a desk and a small chair. Beside the window, there is a shelf. It's white. There are some toys on it. They are a big dog, a small cat and some beautiful dolls. The monkey is on the bed. Monkey is Linda's animal sign. Now Linda is sleeping with it.
