Shenzhou IX flew into space with two men and one woman on June 16th，2012. On June 29th, Shenzhou IX returned to the earth and all three taikonauts were good.

    The woman taikonaut is Liu Yang. She was born in 1978 in Henan Province(省). In 1997，she joined the army and became a pilot(飞行员). In 2010，She became one of the taikonauts. And she was the first woman taikonaut in China.

    Two men taikonauts are Jing Haipeng and Liu Wang. Jing Haipeng was born in 1966 in Shanxi Province. He joined the army in 1985. Liu Wang was born in 1969 in Shanxi Province. He joined the army in 1988.

    They are all great taikonauts. And we are proud of them.

    It's Sunday morning. The students of Class 3 are giving their classroom a good cleaning. Miss Huang, their teacher, is working with them. The children are busy. Some are carrying water; some are cleaning the windows; others are sweeping the floor. Zhang Hua is putting up a map on the wall. It is a map of China. Wang Fei and Wei Qing are mending some broken chairs. The children are listening to the radio while they are working. The classroom looks nice and bright after the cleaning. The children are very happy. They go home for lunch at noon.

    What is Mary's family doing now? Let's have a look! Dad is watching TV in the living room. Mum is cleaning the kitchen. Mary is reading in bedroom. Grandpa is listening to music and grandma is dancing. Where is Bobbi? Look! Bobbi is playing water. Bobbi is a dog. May's family like it very much. This Saturday, the family is going to have picnic in the park with Bobbi.

Dear Grandma,

    Thank you for the new shorts. They are cool!

    It's hot in Beijing. It's sunny too. I can wear my shorts and T-shirt. I have a new jacket. My old jacket is too small. I want to buy a hat. It is fifty Yuan. It's too expensive. What's the weather like at the farm? Is it warm? How many new ducks are there?

Love,

John

    This is the earth. The green part is land. The blue part is sea. The white part is clouds. Our earth is very beautiful and interesting. Many years ago, the earth is very clean. But nowadays there is much pollution on the earth. People are polluting the land, the water and the air. People must stop doing that. We must protect the earth.

    Ben is very happy today. He goes to the park at eight thirty. He plays football with friends at ten. At eleven forty-five, he goes to the restaurant with his parents. Ben goes to the movie theater at five o'clock, at six thirty, he goes home.
