Kim: Mum, let's go on a trip this Sunday,OK?

Mum: No! Your Aunt Sue will come to our house.

Kim: That's great! May we go to the airport?

Mum: Sure, we'll take the bus.

Kim: May we take a car? A car is faster than a bus.

Mum: Okay! By car.

Kim: When do we leave?

She is in the kitchen．Look，that is my little brother．This is my big family．

    Look at the pictures. There is cage beside the house. There is a bird in the cage.

Under the cage, there is a cat. And a dog is behind the cat.

    The cat wants to eat the bird. It's jumping. The cage is falling(掉下来). The bird is flying out of the cage. The cat is chasing the bird and the dog is chasing (追) the cat.

    The bird is at the top of the tree. The cat is in it. The dog is under it.

    Then the bird is flying. The cat is falling. The dog is running.

    Look, this is my family. There are five people. There is one man. He is my father. He is a teacher. There is one woman. She is my mother. She is a doctor. There is one boy. He is my brother. He is going to be a policeman. There are two girls. They are my sister and me. I'm going to be a pilot. My sister is going to be a nurse.

    My name is Jim. My favorite day is October 18th, because it's my birthday. I am very happy on that day. I eat eggs for breakfast. Then my friends come to my home and play with me. We sing and dance. Someone plays the piano and someone plays the guitar. Lunch is very nice. After lunch, my parents take me to see a movie. My favorite movies are comedies and action movies. After supper, my parents, my sister and I watch TV. Then I go to bed at ten thirty. I don't do my homework on that day. I am very tired but happy on my birthday.

Wednesday 23 May

Dear Kim,

    We arrived at Holiday Cove on Monday and we are having lots of fun.

The flight was so boring. I nearly fell asleep but at least everything went well—not like last time.

    When we landed we went straight our camp. My cousin Emma is staying next to us.

    I am excited because we are going to visit the crocodile farm tomorrow. Peter is scared and says he wants to go to see the kangaroos instead.
