    There is an interesting festival in China. At this festival people in Hunan always have a dragon boat match. The dragon boat is quite long. There are pictures of dragons on each side. The front of the boat is like the head of a dragon. There are twenty members in each team. Besides them there is a man on the boat. He beats a drum(击鼓). It's an exciting match, especially(特别是)when they are reaching the end. The audience(观众)beside the lake shout for their favourite teams. From this match. we have the name of the festival—the Dragon Boat Festival. This special day has another(另一个)name-Duanwu Festival. It has a story. The story is about a poet(诗人)called Qu Yuan.

My father's day

    My father is a teacher. He teaches Chinese. He likes his job and his students. And the students like him too. He goes to work from Monday to Friday. He does not work on Saturday and Sunday. Every day, he gets up at five thirty. At six, he has breakfast. Then he goes running. He goes to school at seven. He has lunch at school. He goes home at five in the afternoon. At six o'clock, he has dinner. He doesn't watch TV. He likes reading books with me. He goes to bed at nine thirty.

    My name's Meimei. I'm Chinese, but I live in England. I can speak English very well, but I sometimes make mistakes.

    One day, our teacher said to us, "We'll go on a school trip to a beautiful farm tomorrow. There are lots of plants and flowers. There are many fruit trees, too." I was very happy and I said, "Wow, I like fruit. I want to pick some bears!" Then my teacher said, "Meimei, we are going to the farm, not to the zoo. There are no bears at the farm." Oh, I made a mistake! I wanted to say "pear", the fruit, not "bear", the animal. It was very funny!
