London is the capital(首都) of England. The famous Hyde Park is in London. The park is very beautiful. And Big Ben is in London, too. It is old and tall. It is very famous. Tower Bridge is famous, too. River Thames(泰晤士河) is very long and wide(宽的). Some boats are on the river every day.

    I have a good friend at school. He is an English boy. His name is Tom. He is twelve. We're in No. 2 Middle School. We're not in the same class. He is in Class 4. I'm in Class 2. Tom's father is an English teacher. He works at our school. Tom's mother is not a teacher. She is a doctor.

    Elephants are mammals. They can be four metres tall. They don't eat meat. They only eat fruit, leaves and grass. They need a lot of food, so they spend most of their time eating. They only sleep for about four hours every night.

    The elephant has two long, white teeth called tusks. It is the only animal with a trunk-a special long nose. The elephant can use its trunk to pick up big tree or a small peanut. The elephant is also the mammal with the biggest ears. They look like two big fans.

    Elephants live in Africa and Asia. They live together in family groups. They are very strong, very smart and of course, very, very big.

    Hello，I'm Susan. Look, this is my family photo. This is my mother. She is a teacher. Her birthday is in March. She likes going shopping. Her favourite season is winter. My father is a doctor. He likes winter best. His birthday is in September. He often climbs mountains with his friends on weekends. Haha, this is me. I like summer best because I can eat ice-cream very much, and I can wear pretty skirts in summer.

    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."
