The programmes Sun Xiaomei hosts might be among the shortest on CCTV. On Screen Next Week is on once a week for 15 minutes, and TV You, He and I comes on for five minutes each time once a week too. “Though these programmes are short, I have many ideas to make them more lively for the audience,” she said.

   Sun was interested in music in her childhood. She played the violin since the age of five until she finished middle school. At first her father wanted her to enter a music school; however, 16-year-old Sun Xiaomei became a student in Beijing Broadcasting College.

   Sun loves her job as a hostess very much. She pays great attention to learning from her comrades(同事), especially Zhao Zhongxiang. When Zhao Zhongxiang hosted The World and The Animal World, Sun would sit beside him to learn.

 “I am sure that when I am seen by hundreds of millions of audience on the weekend, I can make friends with them through my warm and easy talk,” she said.

    It's a picture of a small room. There is a girl in it. Her name is Sally. It' s her room. There is a bed and a desk in her room. What's that on the wall? It's a map of England. Next to the map we can see a photo. It's Sally's photo. We can see a clock on the desk. Is it her black cat on the bed? No, it's her hat. Where's her backpack? It's on her bed, too.

    There are four seasons in a year. They are spring, summer, autumn and winter. For all my friends, every season is good.

    Wang Dong likes flying kites and climbing hills. She says when spring comes, the days are getting warmer and longer. And everything begins to grow. The wind is not very strong. It's the best time to fly kites. And when you climb the hills, you can enjoy yourself. So she often says spring is her favourite season.

    "Swimming is my favourite sport,”says Anne. “When summer comes, I often go swimming in the rivers or lakes with my friends." You can enjoy yourself in the water.And you can swim like a fish there.

    “I often go climbing hills with my father during the long vacation of the National Day, ”says Liu An. “My father often tells me that I can see lots of beautiful things if I stand on the top of a hill. ”So he likes autumn best of all.

    Bob says he likes winter very much. He says, “I'm very happy when I am playing with snow.”He is making a snowman now.

    Those days when you go on vacation, you spend most of your money just getting there. Travel is expensive, but don't stay home only because you are short of money! Here is some advice:

    Travel during off season if possible. Flights and hotels are much cheaper when tourism is low.

    Choose a hotel that's a little farther from popular attractions. If you're staying several days, check out prices on vacation homes-- they can end up being cheaper than a hotel.

    Take public traffic, such as buses or subway, instead of taking a taxi.

    Plan your meals, and cat like locals. Don't waste money at expensive hotel restaurants or fast- food chains. Depending on where you stay, it may be cheaper to make food on your own.

    Check online for special discount (折扣)—if you're a student, the old or the parents traveling with children, you could get discounts! A little research could save you a lot of money.

    Whether you're backpacking alone or going on a family vacation, your trip doesn't have to cost a lot of money. The key is to plan ahead and write down what you spend. Then put the money you save toward your next trip!
