Today is Sunday. My friends and I want to go shopping. Bob wants to buy some tea. Tom wants to buy some apples in the fruit shop. Kim wants to buy a story book in a book shop. Jack wants to buy a new pen for his mother. Lily wants to buy new shorts in a clothes shop.

    Hello! My name is John. I am a boy. I am a student. This is my family. My father likes to buy books online. My mother likes to buy clothes at the clothes shop. My brother likes to buy toys at the toy shop. I like to buy food online. Shopping online is fun.

    It is March 12th. It's Tree Planting Day. There are many people on the hills. They're planting trees. People plant many trees today. Plants are important to us. They can make food from the air, water and sunlight. But animals and people can't do so. Animals and people can get food from plants. Without plants, life will not go on, Plants make the air clean, they can keep water from flowing away(流失). They can stop wind from blowing up sand and earth. But in some places people are cutting down too many trees. This brings floods(洪水) and sandstorm(沙暴). Now more and more people know that plants are important. They will plant more trees and grow more plants. They will try to protect the trees.

Dear Jack,

    I'm Zhang Peng. I'm doing my homework at home now. It's evening in China. My mother is cooking dinner. My father is reading a book. My brother is playing with his toy. My sister is drawing pictures. My grandma is watching TV. My grandpa is listening to music. They are all busy. What about you?

Yours,

Zhang Peng

    The rhinoceros, often known as the rhino, is one of the world's largest animals. It is also one of the endangered animals. For many years people have hunted them for their horns.

    Today only five species of rhinos survive: the Black, the White, the Indian, the Javan and the Sumatran. They are found mainly in Africa and Southern Asia.

    Rhinos are plant-eating mammals. They eat tree bark, vines and grass. Rhinos have good hearing but poor eyesight. They sleep most of the day.

    Rhinos do not like humans. A rhinoceros can live for up to 60 years or more.
