My name is Zhang Peng. I have a friend. His name is John. He has a grandpa and a grandma. They are seventy years old. They are at home. John's father works in a school. His mother is a doctor. John is a good student. They are very busy. They all get up early in the morning. John often helps his grandparents cook breakfast. There is a big garden and many young trees in front of his house. We can play games there. It's great.

    My name is Li Lin. I live in Nanjing. My new home is on the eighteenth floor. We ride the elevator (电梯) up to our new home. It's much bigger than our old one. My bedroom is big and bright.

    From the window I can see many cars and people down in the streets. They look very small. The cars are like toys. At night we watch the lights go on over the city. The lights look like stars in the sky.

    Jim is a good student at school. He never breaks(打破) the school rules. All of his teachers like him a lot. But he is not a good boy at home. He doesn't clean his room. He puts his books here and there. He likes eating too much junk food. He always watches TV till very late. He goes to bed very late and reads books in bed. So Jim's mother makes some family rules for him.

    Family Rules

    Don't read books in bed.

    Don't watch TV too late.

    Don't put books here and there.

    Keep your room clean.

    Eat healthy food.

    Go to bed early.
