Hi, I am Li Ping. I am from a small village. There are many houses and rivers in my village. The houses are very beautiful. The water is clean. You can see many fish in the river. There is a mountain near our village. There aren't any pandas in the mountain. But there are many trees on the mountain. A big forest is not far from the mountain. My village is pretty. I like my village.

        Today is Sunday. We don't have classes at school. Look! Zhang Peng and Mike are playing football. Sarah is drawing a picture. Chen Jie and Amy are reading books in the library. Wu Binbin is cleaning the blackboard in the classroom. What are Tom and John doing? They are playing computer games in the teachers' office. What am I doing? I am talking to you. We are all very happy.

    The Smiths are Americans. They are now in Beijing. This is their first visit to China. They are going to stay in China for two months. They want to visit some cities and villages. They hope to learn some Chinese, too.

    Mr. Smith is a doctor. He will visit a hospital in Shanghai. Mrs. Smith is a school teacher. She is going to visit some city schools and village schools. Their daughter is a middle school student. She wants to meet some children students.

    They are going to take a lot of pictures in China. When they are back in America, they will show the pictures to their American friends. They want the American people to know more about China.

    I am Jane. I usually go to school on foot. My mum works in a supermarket nearby. She usually goes to work by bike. My dad is not so lucky. He has a long way to go every day. He usually goes to work by car. On rainy days, my dad takes me to school in his car. How do you usually go to school?

The hungry vegetables

    The potato wants to go out and play. But the rain cloud says," No, not today!" The tomato wants to go out to dance. But the rain cloud says,“No, no，stay at home.”

    The green beans want to go out and jump. But the rain cloud says," No, not funny, it is going to rain!" The onion wants to go out and roll. But the rain cloud says, “No, please stay inside!"

    The carrots want to go out and run. But the rain cloud says," No, no fun for you!” Soon they have a way to go out." We must go out and have fun today.”

    So they blow(吹) and blow and blow the cloud away. Then they all go out and play a nice day.
