Nancy is reading an email from her American friend Jack. She is very happy to get the email. Jack writes about his school and his weekend. Jack's school is not very big, but it's beautiful. There are two buildings, two gardens and a playground.Their classrooms are big and clean. Jack likes his school very much.

    Jack doesn't go to school on the weekend. He often gets up at six on Saturdays and Sundays. Heruns in the park for half an hour. Then he eats breakfast. At eight, he beginsto do his homework. He has lunch with his family at home. In the afternoon, hehelps his mother do housework. Sometimes he plays computer games with his classmateson the Internet. In the evening, he listens to music or reads books.  He really has a good time on the weekend.

    One day, a crocodile(鳄鱼)swims in the river. He sees a monkey. The monkey plays in a tree on the bank(岸边). The crocodile swims near the monkey and says, "Hey, little monkey! Do you want to eat bananas? "The monkey answers. "Yes. Where are they?" "On the other bank of the river." "But how can I get there? I can't swim." "I can take you there." So the monkey jumps onto the crocodile's back. In the centre (中心)of the river, the crocodile says to the monkey,"Haha…There are no bananas on the bank. You're foolish(愚蠢的). I want to eat your heart(心脏)." "But I put my heart in the tree. Let's go back to take it." So the crocodile swims back. When they swim near the bank, the monkey jumps up into the tree quickly(迅速地).

I have English class at 9:30. I like English class. I have lunch at 12 o'clock in my school canteen（餐厅）. I go home at 4:30. I often play football on the playground.

Dear Grandma,

    Thank you for the new shorts. They are cool!

    It's hot in Beijing. It's sunny too. I can wear my shorts and T-shirt. I have a new jacket. My old jacket is too small. I want to buy a hat. It is fifty Yuan. It's too expensive. What's the weather like at the farm? Is it warm? How many new ducks are there?

Love,

John
