I'm a primary school student. My name is Zhao Lei. I think most animals are very lovely. We often see dogs, cats, ducks, and geese in our life. We can see many other animals at the zoo. I often go to the zoo to see animals with my family. I like tigers and giraffes. I like giraffes' neck very much. It is very long. My father and mother like lions and monkeys. My little brother likes snakes. I don't like it. Snakes are very scary. I am very afraid of them. But my brother isn't afraid of snakes. He can catch a snake. Animals are our friends. We should love animals.

    Christmas is coming. First, Mum, Dad, my sister, my brother and I go shopping in the morning. We buy a lot of presents for our family and friends. We also buy a big Christmas tree. It's very beautiful. Next, we put the things under the Christmas trees. Then, my sister puts a stocking on the bed. Finally, it is Christmas Day. We say "Merry Christmas" to each other and open our presents. We are all very happy.

    Tom was a very lazy boy when he was eleven years old. He didn't like doing anything. He had to go to school on weekdays, but he didn't study hard in the class and didn't do any homework after school. His father and mother were both doctors, and back then they hoped Tom could become a doctor, too. But one day, Tom said to his mother, "When I finish school, I want to be a cleaner." "A cleaner?" his mother asked. "That's not a very good job. Why do you want to become a cleaner?" "Because then I would only have to work one day a week," Tom said happily. "Only one day a week?" his mother was very surprised. "Why do you say that? And how do you know?" "Well," Tom said, "I know that the cleaner comes to our house to work only on Thursday because I see her only on that day."
