    Mike is a handsome (英俊的) boy. He comes from America. He is fourteen years old. His father, Mr Brown, works in a big company (公司) in Beijing. Mike has a lovely sister. Her name is Mary. She is only four.

    It is Sunday today. Mike's family are all at home. Mr Brown is reading the newspaper in the living room. Mrs Brown is watering the flowers out of the house. She is a doctor. Where is Mike? Oh, he is cleaning his new bike. Where is Mary? She is in her bedroom. She is playing with her puppy (小狗). She's a pretty girl!

    What a happy family!

    Spring is coming. What a nice season!

    The weather is getting warmer and warmer. The flowers are coming out. How beautiful the world is! Look around! The sky is blue and the trees are turning green. The sun is shining brightly and the air is so fresh. Now people take off (脱下) warm coats. People can fly kites in the park.

    A good beginning is half done and it's the first season in the year. We must make the best use of our time and catch every second to work and study. Do you think so?
