Hello, I'm Helen. I'm twelve years old. I'm in Garden Primary School. Jane is my classmate. We're good friends. I've got a green bicycle. It's new. I often ride the bicycle to go out and play. Today is Sunday. Jane and I go to visit Aunt Wang by bicycle. She lives in Pudong. She works in a hospital. She likes to make sick people better. She works very hard. It's 5: 45 now. It's dark outside. We must say goodbye to Aunt Wang.

    The following three students are writing letters to the school office.

    Our lunchtime is short. Many of us have some schoolwork to do after lunch. But if we don't get a good rest, we can't have enough(足够的) energy for the afternoon. So we want to have more time to take a nap after lunch.

    Food in our dining hall is not nice at all. There is always pork, tofu and potatoes. The soup is never hot. I like pork, tofu and potatoes. But why do we have them every day? And why can't we have hot soup?

    All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! We want more time for sports, but there are only thirty minutes for us to do sports every day. I think school should finish before 4 pm every day and then we can go to the playground to do sports.

Dai Huimin (boy, 14)

David: Good morning, Lily.

Lily: Good morning, David. Look at the photo. Who's that little girl?

David: Which one?

Lily: That one with a white blouse and a pink skirt.

David: Oh, that one?

Lily: She has a round face and two big eyes.

David: Ah, she's May. She's cute. And her mother is my teacher.

Lily: Your teacher? What is she like?

David: She's tall and she has two big eyes. She is my English teacher. She is kind to us.

Lily: Do you like her?

David: Yes. And I like English very much.

    My name is Jack. This is my home. I live in a cave.

    This is our living and dining room. My family share stories and eat here. Look! My father is telling us about his hunting today. My mother is setting up the fire. We cook here, so there is our kitchen too!

    We have a garden outside. My sister is picking up branches for our fire.

    We have two small caves inside our cave. They are our bedrooms. I share(分享)a cave with my sister.

    What is this? Oh, a bear is sleeping in my cave! It happens all the time in winter!
