    Mary is an American school girl. She is now in Beijing with her parents. Mary doesn't know Chinese, but she is studying Chinese. She often speaks Chinese to her Chinese friends. Sometimes they don't understand her because she can't speak Chinese well.

    It's Sunday morning, she goes out. She is walking in the street. She is going to the zoo to see elephants and monkeys, but she doesn't know how to get there. She asks a Chinese boy. The boy can't understand her. Then she takes out a pen and a piece of paper. She draws an elephant on it, and shows the picture to the boy. The boy understands now, and he shows Mary the way to the zoo. 

Three turtles

    Three turtles live in a house. They decide to have a cup of coffee. So they go to a care. Just as they go into the care, it starts to rain. They have no umbrella with them. So the biggest one says to the smallest one,   "Go home and get the umbrella."

    The little turtle answers, "I will, if you don't drink my coffee when I go to get the umbrella." "We don't." The other two promise. Two hours later, the big turtle says to the middle turtle, "Well, I guess he isn't coming back, so we can drink his coffee." Just then, there is a voice. "If you do, I will not go to get the umbrella."

Last Saturday was Linda's birthday. Betty, Li Ping and I went to her home to have lunch. We bought some gifts for her. I bought a new doll for her. Betty bought a birthday cake for her. Li Ping bought a box of crayons for her. We ate some delicious food in her home. Then we watched TV at 2:00 in the afternoon. At 4 o'clock we went to the park to fly a kite. We had fun that day. We all said "Happy birthday." to Linda. Linda was so happy.
