    I'm David. I'm in Grade Six now. I have lots of changes.

    When I was in Grade One, I was not good at any sports. But now I' m tall and strong. I run fast. I play basketball very well.

    I knew a few English words six years ago. I can read and write stories in English now.

    I was quiet before. But now I' m very active and have more friends. We always play and travel together. Last year, we travelled to Guilin.

    But the bad thing is my eyesight (视力). I had good eyesight before. Now I have to wear glasses.

    I'm Lisa. I'm ten years old. It's sunny and warm outside. I get up at 6:00 am. I go to shoe shop with my mom and dad in the morning. I want a pair of new shoes. I try on the new shoes of size five but they are too small. Then I try size six and they are just right. So I take them. They are very pretty but in the afternoon we go to my Grandpa's house. We have dinner at 6:30p.m.We eat tomatoes, green beans, fish, chicken, beef and noodles. And we have a very big birthday cake, too. What a big dinner! It's really a nice birthday for me. I'm very happy with my family.
