Hello! My name is Peter. I am a student. I often have busy days. I get up at 6:30 in the morning. I eat breakfast at home. Then I go to school at 7:10. I read books at 7:30. I play sports at 11:45.

    Most American families are smaller than the families in other countries. Children in the USA will leave their parents when they grow up. They usually live far from their parents because they want to find good jobs. They often write to their parents or telephone them. And they often go to visit their parents on holidays.

    Parents usually let their children choose their own jobs. Americans think it is important(重要的) for them to make decisions(作决定).

    Children are also asked to do some housework at home. And in many families，children will get money from their parents for doing some housework. Because American parents want to let their children learn how to make money for their own use.

    Hello, I'm Mike. My family had a good time last Sunday. Let me tell you. I went to the nature park to see wild animals. I took many pictures of them. The animals were so cute. My mother cooked dinner and did the dishes at home. My father read a newspaper. In the evening we ate dinner and watched TV together! That was fun! What about you? What did you do last weekend?

Thunder

There is thunder. There is thunder.

It's roaring. It's roaring.

Pitter, patter, rain drops.

Pitter, patter, rain drops.

I'm all wet. I'm all wet.
