    Our school had an English Fun Day today. My classmates and l went to the School Hall to play English games. Some Grade 6 students were helpers and they showed us how to play the games.

    Peter and l were in a spelling(拼写) game. He made many mistakes but I did very well. I got some sweets and we shared(分享) them.

We did not like the matching(配对) game. We had to match some words to pictures. It was not difficult but boring.

    We liked the reading game. I was slow when I read out the sentences. But Peter was very quick. He won the first prize. Miss Wong gave him a photo album. He can put his photos in. We had a good time.

    It is a Tuesday morning. Ann and her mother are on a big bus. There are many people on it. Some of them come from the U.S. , and some come from England or Canada. They are all friends. They are going to the Forbidden City!

    There are two Chinese on the bus. One is a young man. He is driving the bus. The other is a woman. She speaks English well. She is now talking about the Forbidden City. The other people are listening to her. They like the Forbidden City. They want to see it very much.

    I am Jane. Collecting pencils is one of my hobbies. I often buy some beautiful pencils.

    I am Tom. Riding bikes is my hobby. I have a nice bike. I go to school by bike. I often ride a bike with my friends at weekends.

    I am Sally. Painting is my hobby. This picture of pandas is for my mother. She likes pandas.

    I am Jack. I have a kite from my cousin in China. It's a big bird. Flying kites is my hobby, but I can't fly it very well.

    We are Lucy and Lily. We are twins. Singing and dancing are our hobbies. We like listening to music. We like dancing at home.

    One day Mr Li and Mr Wang went to London to see a friend. They didn't know much English and they knew little about London. They didn't find their friend's home. They walked in the street for a long time. Then they saw a man near a shop. They went up to him and asked the way. The man smiled but said nothing(什么都没说) . Then he put his hand into his pocket and took out a book and read, "I'm sorry, I can't speak English." At last they found their friend's home with the help of a policeman.

    It is a cold day in winter. A farmer finds a snake on the ground. It is nearly dying. The farmer is a kind person. He brings it home and puts it near the fire. Soon the snake begins to move, but it raises its head and tries to bite the farmer. "Oh," says the farmer, "I save your life, but you pay me back in this way. You must die." Then he kills the snake with a stick.
