I lived in a village ten years ago．There were no buildings．There were no cars．There was a small school near my village．I went to school on foot．People couldn't use the Internet．We often climbed mountains and went fishing．Now there are many new buildings．There is a new school near the village．Children go to school by bus．People often play computer games at home．

    Danny loves winter, but he's always hot or cold! Danny wants to go outside to play in the snow. He is going to put on his hat, scarf, jacket, gloves and boots. Why? Because it's cold outside. Now he is putting on his hat, jacket, scarf and gloves. But he takes off his hat quickly. Why? Because he is hot.

    Welcome to my classroom. It is big and nice. There are 35 desks and 40 chairs in my classroom. There is a teacher's desk in front of the blackboard. The computer is on the teacher's desk. On the wall, we can see a clock and a map. There are also some plants beside the window. Miss Zhang is my English teacher. She is pretty and nice. I like her. I like my classroom, too.

    My name is Tim. I am tall and fat. My student number is fifteen. I like playing cards with my friend, Jane. Jane is a thirteen-year-old girl. Her student number is four. Every morning we walk to school. We like reading and writing in the classroom. After school, we go home together. We help each other(互相).

    Woof…Woof…What do you hear? It's a dog. It's my dog. It's super. It's yellow and white. It likes eating meat and apples. It can sing and dance. It's a present from my father. I like my dog very much.

    Earth Day is on April 22nd. It was startedby an American Nelson. In 1970, about 20 million(百万) Americanscelebrated the first Earth Day. Every day, we take important things from theearth, like trees, water, and oil. Our factories, cars, and garbage(垃圾) make the air, water, and land dirty. If we are not careful, wewill have no trees, no clean water and air, and no food. Earth Day tells us tobe kind to the earth. Use less water, plant more trees... The earth is ours, sowe should help the earth every day, not just on Earth Day!

    Dinah was a kind girl, but she was very lazy. She didn't like to do anything. Her mother wanted her to do some reading, but she didn't want to.

    One day a boy named Joy came and brought a pair of skates (滑冰鞋)with him. Dinah liked the skates very much. She ran after Joy when he walked on the skates. Joy let Dinah put on his skates. The girl was very happy. “Listen, Dinah.” said the young man. "if you start to read, I'll send you a good pair of skates on the first day of January."

    From then on, Dinah did lots of reading. On the first day of New Year, she got a new pair of skates from Joy.
