Mr Smith has a farm. His farm is very big. On his farm, he has sixteen cows, twelve horses fifteen pigs and thirteen ducks. There are nine hens and eleven chicks, too. Look, the cows are eating grass. The grass is green. They are fresh(新鲜的). But the horses don't like grass. They like eating hay. The hay is yellow. They are dry, too. What are the pigs doing? They are sleeping in the hey. They are big and fat. They go "Oink, Oink..." They look lovely. I like pink pigs very much. But I don't like black pig.

    London is the oldest city in Britain. It's the biggest city in Europe, but New York is big, too. It's as big as London. The streets in London are crowed(拥挤)and there is one of the world's biggest underground. The streets in New York are just as crowded as in London. There are a lot of stores in London, but New York has more supermarkets than London. London has more parks than New York, but New York's Central Park is much bigger than the biggest park in London.

    You work hard to learn English. Do you know American kids are learning Chinese? In many US schools, students take Chinese lessons. How do they learn Chinese?

    Let's go to the Muir Elementary School in the US. Maddi, 6, and Stephen, 6, are first graders in this school. They are learning how to say "we" in Chinese. "It's not easy to remember the Chinese characters (汉字). But learning Chinese is fun," they say.

    In Chinese class, they are learning the language through songs, games and lots of talking. "Chinese is popular among US kids. They pick it up really fast," their teacher says.
