I'm Tony. I'm a boy. I live in a big house with my family. I have a sister and a brother. My sister likes to draw pictures and sing. My brother likes to play football. We all go to school by bus. My mother works in a hospital. She is a doctor. My father has a farm. The farm is very big. We like to go for a walk together. I love my family.

    My name is Kelly. I am a girl. It's Sunday today. I often get up at 7:20. But today, I get up at 6:30. I often clean my room on Sundays, but today, I go shopping. Why? Because today is the Teachers' Day. And it's my birthday too. I will go shopping and buy some flowers for my teachers. My mother will make a big birthday cake for me. I am very happy!

    My name is Peter. I'm 11 years old. I'm 140cm. like winter very much because I can make a snowman and play with the snow. It's very interesting. My friend Mike is 1 year younger than me, but he is 5cm taller than me. He also likes winter because he likes ice skating. Next winter holiday, we're going to Harbin to see the snow in the north of China. It will be very cold, and we can play with snow every day!

Peter: What's your favourite fruit, Betty?

Betty: Apples. Because they're sweet.

Peter: I like fruit. But I don't like grapes. They're sour. I like bananas. They're yummy.

Bill: I like potatoes. They're fresh. What about you, Ann?

Ann: I don't like potatoes. But I like fish. Because it's tasty.

Ben: I like fish, too. It's very healthy.

Dear Robin,

    I'm Nicky. I'm from the city of Hangzhou. I like it. It is beautiful. There is a big lake in the city. There are many flowers and trees near the lake. We often cat good food or go shopping on the weekends.

    My grandpa lives in a village. It is between two hills. There is a river in front of his house. The water is clean. Sometimes. I read under the big tree beside the river or listen to the birds singing. There is a vegetable garden behind my grandpa's house. You can see red tomatoes and fresh carrots in the garden. I love the village very much.

    I am friendly. My favourite food is fish. I can sing English songs. But I can't dance. Do you want to be my friend? Please send an email to Nicky@ ufriend.cn.

Yours,

Nicky
