Helen and her mother are in the supermarket. Where is the shop assistant? Look, she's coming and smiling. "Hello, can I help you?"

    "Can we have some durians and strawberries, please?"

    "Sorry, we have some strawberries, but we haven't any durians."

    "Can we have some plums?"

    "OK, here you are."

    "Oh, the strawberries are red and big. But the plums..."

    "The plums are small but they are sweet. Taste one, please."

    "Mm, they are sweet. We like them."

    Then Helen and her mother buy some fruit. They are happy.

    I'm Chen Jie. I'm from China. I have four good friends. Mike and John are boys. Mike is from Canada. John is from the USA. Amy and Sarah are my friends, too. They are from the UK. I like my friends!

    Mother Cat and her son are fishing by the river. A dragonfly（蜻蜓）sings and comes. Son Cat puts down the fishing rod. He tries to catch the dragonfly, but the dragonfly flies away. Son Cat comes back and goes on fishing. A butterfly（蝴蝶） sings and comes. Son Cat puts down the fishing rod again and tries to catch the butterfly. Then the butterfly flies away. Son Cat comes back and sees Mother Cat has caught some big fish. Son Cat is sad. "Why can't I catch even a little fish?" says Son Cat. "While you're fishing, you catch the dragonfly and the butterfly now and then. How can you catch a fish?" says Mother Cat. Son Cat feels sorry for that. So Son Cat sits quietly and fishes carefully. The dragonfly and the butterfly come again. They fly around Son Cat, but Son Cat doesn't look at them. After a while, Son Cat catches a big fish and he is very happy.

    It's a sunny day today. My family is going out for a picnic beside a river in the natural park. Look, my grandparents are doing morning exercises under the tree. My mum is preparing food for us. My dad is helping with the cooking. My little brother is playing with the butterflies. My little sister is collecting the beautiful leaves. What about me? I'm reading a storybook and eating a hamburger on the grass. We are so happy!

Cathy: Mom, look, there are some birds.

Mom: Which bird do you like?

Cathy: I like the green one. It's more beautiful than the blue one.

Mom: Which bird is stronger?

Cathy: The blue one is stronger.

Mom: I like the blue bird. I think it's younger, too.

Cathy: But the green bird's tail is longer.

Mom: Yes, I think it's about 20 cm long.
