I'm Mary. I'm 12 years old. I'm 1.62 metres. I have a friend. Her name is May. She is taller than me. But she is one year younger than me. We go to school by bus everyday. I like English best, but she likes music and art.

    Today is a warm day on Sunday. My father is playing with the little puppy. My sister is reading magazine. My brother is drinking water. My baby brother is sleeping.My mother is cooking in the kitchen. What am I doing?I am watching them.Because of the fine day,We decide to go to the mountain.What a nice day!

    In the future, most people will live in space. There will be no pollution in space. They will drive flying cars from the earth to space.

    Robots are important to people. They will help people do much work. So people have much time to travel. Students will not carry schoolbags to school. They use a small computer. Sometimes they will learn online at home, and they will hand in their homework online at home, too.

Students will do more exercise and will be stronger.

Cao Chong weighs the elephant

    When we want to know how much we weigh, we stand on a scale. But when something is very big, like an elephant, how do we weigh it? A long time ago, the famous warlord, Cao Cao, faced this question.

    One day, Cao Cao received an elephant as a gift. "What a big animal! How much does it weigh?" Cao Cao asked. No one could answer his question because no scale was big enough.

    Cao Cao's six-year-old son Cao Chong said, "Father, let me try!"

    Cao Chong asked a man to get the elephant onto a boat on a river. The boat went down a little, and Cao Chong marked the water level on the boat.  He then asked some strong men to put rocks on the boat.  When the water reached the mark, Cao Chong said, "Stop!"

    "Let's weigh these rocks, and add their weights together. Then we'll know the weight of the elephant," said Cao Chong.

    Finally, they found out the weight of the elephant. Cao Cao was very happy.

    Hello, I'm John. It's Monday today. I was busy last weekend. I didn't go to school on the weekend. And my parents didn't go to work. We all stayed at home. I cleaned the rooms and watered the plants. I did my homework and played basketball. My mother cooked the meals, washed the clothes and went to the shop. My father washed his car and saw his friends. We watched an interesting TV show last night.
