Hello, I'm Lisa. I'm a middle school student. What's this on the table? It's a photo of my family. Look! The woman with gray hair is my grandmother. And the man next to her is my father Steve Black. He is a football player. The woman next to my grandmother is my mother Annie Black. She is a teacher. The little girl in front of (在—的前面)my mother is my sister Laura. And the girl in red is me! Oh, I also have a lovely cat. It's black and white. Where is he? It's on my bed, haha!

    Hi! My name is Dave. I am a middle school student but I think my life is different from most other students. After school, I always hunt wild birds and animals with my father, uncles and brothers. I also help them to plant and harvest (收割) crops. I want to be a carpenter. A carpenter is someone who works with wood and fixes (修理) chairs and other things made of wood. I have made lots of things like tables and other furniture.

    My elder sister does many different kinds of things every day. She makes our candles (蜡烛) by using the oil and fat from sheep and cows. These candles give us light at night. She also gets the wool from sheep. My mother and grandmother also teach her to sew. She can make letters and pictures on the cloths with needles.

    I think we live a very happy country life.

    I finished my cooking course(课程) at the age of 21. I thought I was going to become a world-famous cook. I hoped people would travel from all over the world just to get a taste of my food. But three months later, I knew I was wrong. Since(既然) nobody was travelling to taste my food, I decided I should travel to taste theirs.

    During my travel, I visited many different countries, such as Japan and France, where different kinds of food opened my eyes. I liked the travelling in Italy and China most.

    When in Italy, I learned how to make pizza and salads. We had long lazy lunches in the sun and evening meals where the conversations went on long into the night.

    In China, I loved the hot Sichuan food and enjoyed the delicious Beijing snacks. I also found the joy of making dumplings with good friends.

    My year of travel came to an end too quickly, but I had decided what I should do for the rest(剩余的) of my life. I want to bring the wonderful food of the world into my kitchen in New York.
