Zhang Ming is a student. He often goes to school on foot. This morning he went to school by bus because he got up late. Li Dong is Zhang Peng's classmate and he did not go to school. He went swimming last weekend and had a cold. The doctor asked him to take some medicine and stay in bed. So he has to stay at home for a few days. After school, Zhang Peng and his classmates are going to buy some flowers and visit him.

    Look at my family. Grandpa is sleeping in the bedroom. He is tired. Grandma is in the kitchen. She is cooking dinner. She is happy. My father and mother are in the sitting-room. They are singing. Ken is in the bedroom. He is doing a puzzle. I'm in the bathroom. I'm washing my toys. Sam is a dog. It is playing with its ball in its basket.

    My name is Lisa.  I'm from Canada.  I am in Shanghai American School. Our school is big and beautiful. There are 15 pupils in my class. Our Chinese teacher is Miss Wang. We have six lessons every day. I can speak a little Chinese. I have a good friend. Her name is Mary. She is tall and thin.

    It is Children's Day. I go to the cinema with Amy. Jill goes to the zoo with her parents. Tom goes to the museum with his friends. Lucy goes to the park with her classmates. We are very happy. We love Children's Day.

    London is the oldest city in Britain. It's the biggest city in Europe, but New York is big, too. It's as big as London. The streets in London are crowed(拥挤)and there is one of the world's biggest underground. The streets in New York are just as crowded as in London. There are a lot of stores in London, but New York has more supermarkets than London. London has more parks than New York, but New York's Central Park is much bigger than the biggest park in London.
