Mrs. Black's mother was ill in bed three days ago . So she had to go and look after her .

    Before she left , she said to her husband , “I must tell you where everything is , or you don't know what to do , but my train is leaving in half an hour's time and I must go now .”

    “Don't worry ,” Mr Black said , “ I can look after myself .” In fact , he could not do anything without his wife . But when his wife came back the next day , she did not have to wash any plates because he had his metals in restaurants .

    Christmas comes in winter. It is always on the same day each year.

    It's on 25th December. We always get up early at Christmas. When we get up, we find presents at the end of our beds. We open our presents in the morning. At noon, we have a big lunch at home. In the afternoon, we play games and have a good time. In the evening, we are usually very tired, and we go to bed at about 10 o'clock.

    The following three students are writing letters to the school office.

    Our lunchtime is short. Many of us have some schoolwork to do after lunch. But if we don't get a good rest, we can't have enough(足够的) energy for the afternoon. So we want to have more time to take a nap after lunch.

    Food in our dining hall is not nice at all. There is always pork, tofu and potatoes. The soup is never hot. I like pork, tofu and potatoes. But why do we have them every day? And why can't we have hot soup?

    All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! We want more time for sports, but there are only thirty minutes for us to do sports every day. I think school should finish before 4 pm every day and then we can go to the playground to do sports.

    There is a frog (青蛙). He lives in a well (井) and he never goes out of the well. He thinks the sky is as big as the mouth of the well.

    One day a crow (马狗) comes to the well. He sees the frog and say, "Frog, let's have a talk." Then the frog asks, "Where are you from?" "I fly from the sky," the crow says. The frog feels surprised (惊讶) and says, "The sky is only as big as the mouth of the well. How do you fly from the sky?"

    The crow says, "The sky is very big. You always stay in the well, so you don't know the world is big."

    The frog says, "I don't believe(相信)." But the crow says, "You can come out and have a look by yourself." So the frog comes out from the well. He is very surprised. How big the world is!

    The animals are hungry. They go to a new restaurant. They are looking at the menu.
