The animals are not happy these days. Miss Bird likes singing but her throat is sore. Mr. Horse likes running, but he hurts his leg. Miss Rabbit likes to eat, but she has a stomachache."Don't worry! Take some medicine and stay at home for a few days. You willfeel better soon,” says Dr Goat.

    “Early to bed, early to rise（起身）makes people healthy, wealthy and wise（健康，富有，聪明）.” This is an old English saying. Children should have ten hours' sleep every night, or （不然，否则）they can't do their work very well. They will not be wise. The body needs exercise. Walking, running, swimming and playing ball games are all exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong.

    Dan and Kim are friends. Dan lives in an apartment downtown(市中心). It is very convenient to go to work or go shopping, but it's too noisy. There is a lot of traffic. Sometimes Dan can't stand(忍受). Kim has a house in the suburbs(郊区). It's not convenient to go to work or go shopping, but it's very quiet. There is not much to do. In fact, nothing ever happens.

    Dan and Kim have a good idea. They decide to trade(决定交换)places one week.

Dear John,

    This Saturday will be my eleventh birthday. My parents will have a birthday party for me. It will be at my home. It will start at 2:00 p.m. this Saturday. My mum will cook some delicious food for us. We will play games together. Would you like to come?

Love,

Ben

My friend and I
