    Mr. Jones and Mr. Brown work in the same office. One day Mr. Jones says to Mr. Brown, "I will have a small party at our house on Monday evening. Would you and your wife like to come?" Mr. Brown says," Thank you very much. I'd love to, but let me ask my wife first." So Mr. Brown goes to the other room and telephones his wife. Then he comes back and looks very worried. "What's the matter?" asks Mr. Jones, |Is your wife at home?" "No," answers Mr. Brown, "She isn't at home. My small son answers the telephone. I said to him, 'Is your mother at home, David?' 'She is somewhere outside.' he answered. 'What's she doing?' I asked, 'She is looking for me.' he answered.

Saturday, July 23   Sunny and hot

    Bill's family took me to Xidan today. It's a famous shopping centre in Beijing.

    We went to Xidan Bookshop first. Bill's father bought some books for me. He bought two English books about China and one English-Chinese dictionary. I am happy because now I can learn more about China and also learn more Chinese.

    Next we went to a big shopping mall. First I bought a lovely toy panda for my cousin. I also bought silk scarves for my mum and Tina, and a silk shirt for my dad. Then Bill took me to a special kite shop. There were so many beautiful kites. Bill bought me a kite that looks like a bird. Bill is going to teach me to fly it tomorrow.

    Last, we went to a restaurant. We ate delicious Beijing duck there. I really like Chinese food.
