An old woman lived in the country. She had three sons. They were Kim, Mike and John.They left home to make money and became rich soon. This year they came back together on Mother's Day. Each of them had a gift for their mother.

    Kim bought a big and beautiful house for mum. Mike sent her a car. John's gift was a parrot that could speak to mum.

    Several days later, mum sent them letters of thanks:

    “Kim,” she wrote to one son, “ the house you bought is so large. I live in one room, but I have to clean the whole house.”

    “Mike,”she wrote to another, “I am too old to travel. I spend most of the time at home, so I don't use the car.”

    “Dearest John,”she wrote to her third son, “you really know what I like. The chick was delicious. Thanks.”

    I'm Alice. I am the park. It is nice. It is big. I can see many fish in the river. I can hear the bees on the flowers. I can swing on the swing. But I can't walk on the grass. Look, this is my umbrella. It is pink. I am happy.

    My name is Ann. I'm an American girl. I'm a student in Class Three, Grade Five.

    Helen and I are on duty today. We go to the classroom and open the windows at seven in the morning. We clean the classroom at seven fifteen. The class begins at eight. After school, we play games on the play-ground. I go home at five.

    In the evening, my father, my mother and I watch TV at eight. I go to bed at nine ten.

    Hi, I'm Wang Tao. Now I live in Beijing with my parents. But five years ago, I lived in Sichuan with my grandparents. I was shy and quiet then. I swam in the small river in summer. I played in the snow in winter. I missed (想念) my parents.

    Now I'm tall and strong. I often cook dinner after school. I like playing basketball and drawing pictures. Sometimes I go fishing with my parents. I miss my grandparents now.
