Winter is a beautiful season. My favourite season is winter. It's often snowy in many countries. And the outside is white. In winter, the days are shorter. And the nights are longer. It often gets dark very early. But I like snow, so I often go skiing(滑雪) on Sundays with my family. When it snows, everything turns white. There is thick snow on roads, streets, trees and houses. It's a beautiful world! My friends and I like making snowmen. Sometimes we play with snow. It's very interesting and exciting.

    It is a cold day．A tiger is on the ground(地面)，and he is very hungry and tired．He sees a rabbit sleeping under a big tree．"What a fat rabbit! It must(肯定)be yummy．"He walks to the rabbit. At that time，he sees a deer(梅花鹿)running across the forest．"It's bigger than the rabbit．Let me eat the deer first，then come to eat the rabbit．"The tiger says to himself(自言自语)and runs after the deer．The rabbit wakes up(醒来)．He sees the tiger and runs away．

    When the tiger runs after the deer，he sees a horse running in front of the deer．"It's taller and bigger than the deer．It must be more tasty．"So he begins to run after the horse．But the horse runs faster and faster．The tiger can't catch it．At last(最后)，the tiger has nothing to get．

    Hello! My name is Jack. I'm thirteen years old. I like riding very much. I go to school by bike every day. Look! This is my school. There is a new gym in my school. There are many students playing in it. There is a new garden, too. There are many flowers and trees in it. It's very beautiful. The food is delicious in the dining hall.

    Five years ago, I came to this school. At that time, I was short, so I couldn't ride my bike well. Our school was old and small. There was no dining hall. I ate lunch at home. There was no gym, either. We played basketball on the small playground after lunch. And sometimes we played ping-pong, too.

    Now everything is different. The school is big and nice. How time flies.

    In the evening, the children come home from school. They arrive home early. Mr. Brown comes home from work. He arrives home late.

    At night, the children always do their homework. Then they go to bed. Mr. Brown usually reads his newspaper, but sometimes he and his wife watch television.

Lily's Memo(备忘录)

    In the US, there are many types of restaurants. Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find many McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants.  You look at a menu above the counter, and choose what you'd like to eat. You pay the person who serves you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There's no need to leave a tip.

    In a coffee shop you sit at the counter or at a table. You don't wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down.  You tell her what you'd like to eat and she brings it to you. You must pay the money as you leave.

    In a family restaurant the waitress shows you where to sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don't need to tell her yours. If you leave over anything,   your waitress gives you a bag to take your food home. You add an extra fifteen cents to the bill as a tip.

    In top class restaurants, you need a reservation and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine, he may ask you to taste it.  You can only refuse it if it tastes bad, not if you don't like it. When you get your bill, check it and then add several dollars to it as a tip for the waiter.
