Sarah is from America. She went to Canada last winter holiday. She went to a park. She went skating and took many pictures. Her friend Kate went to China last summer holiday. She learned Chinese from her Chinese friends. She went to a park, ate good food, and climbed a mountain. She took many pictures too. They were all happy.

    Hello．I'm Amy．Welcome to my bedroom．It's small but nice．You can see my family picture on the wall．Oh，no! My cat is on my bed．And my shoes are near the bed．

    Can you see my panda bag? It's on the sofa．Where are my crayons? Are they in the bag? No，they aren't．They are on my small table．I can sit on the sofa and draw pictures．I like my bedroom．

    Last summer I went to Qingdao. Qingdao is in the east of China. I went there with my mother and my grandma. The weather there was very hot. I swam in the sea every day. We ate lots of fish. We had a lovely time there.

Dear Mum,

    How are you?

    I'm very well in Shanghai. It's a beautiful city. I like the place. And I made a new friend. Her name is Huanhuan. She's got long and black hair. She's got big eyes. She is tall and thin. She's clever. But she is a bit shy. She likes English best. And she works hard. She often helps me. I miss you. I will be back next month.

Love,

Belinda

    Golden monkeys live only protected by the Chinese government. Their fur is golden and a bit grey. Their tails are as long as their bodies. Male golden monkeys are big and strong while the female ones are much smaller. Golden monkeys live in forests which are 2, 000-3, 000 meters above the sea level. They like living in family groups. They eat fruits, nuts, tree leaves and so on. But now their number is getting smaller and smaller. Our government has built some nature reserves to protect them. We hope more and more people will understand the importance of protecting wild animals. We also hope that people will stop hunting golden monkeys.

    A man lost a needle (针) in the room. But it was dark in the room and he could not see it. He came out and looked for the needle in the street. A friend of his came up and said, "What are you doing here?" "I am looking for my needle now." "Where did you lose it?" he asked. "I lost it in my room." "You lost your needle in your room, but you look for it in the street. Isn't that funny?" "But it is dark in my room. I can't find it there. Here is bright and I can see it."
