Christmas is coming. First, Mum, Dad, my sister, my brother and I go shopping in the morning. We buy a lot of presents for our family and friends. We also buy a big Christmas tree. It's very beautiful. Next, we put the things under the Christmas trees. Then, my sister puts a stocking on the bed. Finally, it is Christmas Day. We say "Merry Christmas" to each other and open our presents. We are all very happy.

    Today is the Lantern Festival(元宵节), a Chinese festival. I invite my grandparents to come to my home. My friends also come. We have yuanxiao for breakfast. It is very delicious. Then we go to watch the yangge dance on the square. How interesting! In the evening, we watch the beautiful lanterns (灯笼). Everyone has a nice day.

    On the first day of class, Tom's teacher asked the class to fill out a form. The information always helped her get to know her students. Tom filled out the form like this.

    Hello! My name is Sarah. I am ten years old. I go to YuCai School. Our school is very big. We have a big playground and a beautiful garden. We have a big library, too. We can read books in the library. I am in Class 1, Grade 4. My classroom is on the second floor. I like our school! It is beautiful.

    I'm Lisa. I'm ten years old. It's sunny and warm outside. I get up at 6:00 am. I go to shoe shop with my mom and dad in the morning. I want a pair of new shoes. I try on the new shoes of size five but they are too small. Then I try size six and they are just right. So I take them. They are very pretty but in the afternoon we go to my Grandpa's house. We have dinner at 6:30p.m.We eat tomatoes, green beans, fish, chicken, beef and noodles. And we have a very big birthday cake, too. What a big dinner! It's really a nice birthday for me. I'm very happy with my family.
