    Hello, I'm Shanshan. Today is December 25th. My birthday is on Christmas! My dad and mum are having a birthday party for me. My friends, Liuliu, Doudou and Meimei come to my home. They buy a big cake, some flowers and some books for me. At the party, everyone wears a birthday hat. We sing "birthday songs", blow out candles, eat the birthday cake and play games. My dad is taking photos for US. I'm very happy. We all have a happy time.

Dear Lucy,

    On Saturday, my father and I often get up at seven o'clock. We go to the People's Park and do morning exercise there.

    There are many people in the park. The air is fresh(新鲜的) and the birds sing songs in the tree.

    We enjoy the Saturday morning very much. You can try(试着) to get up early and enjoy the time, too.

Yours,

Lisa

    Mike is travelling around the country in his car. One evening he is driving along a road and looking for a small hotel. Then he sees an old man at the side of the road. He stops his car and says to the old man, “I want to go to the Sun Hotel. Do you know it?"

    "Yes," the old man says. "I'II show you the way." He gets into Mike's car, and they drive off. They drive for about twelve miles. When they come to a small house, the old man says, "Stop here." Mike stops and looks at the house. "But this isn't a hotel," he says to the old man. "No," the old man answers. "This is my house. And now I'll show you the way to the Sun Hotel. Turn around and go back nine miles. Then you'll see the hotel on the left."
