My school is very beautiful. It is in Dianjun District, Yichang City, Hubei Province. Do you know it? It is Dainjun Primary School. I like my school very much.

    There is a big playground in my school. We have P.E. class on the playground and we often play sports on it, too. Our teaching building has five floors. My classroom is on the fifth floor. It is big and clean. The computer rooms are on the third floor. There is a library on the second floor. There are many books in the library. I often read books here. There are some music rooms and art rooms in the teaching building, too.

    The teachers in my school are very kind. The students are very polite and smart. I am happy in my school.

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

    My name is Mike. I'm ten years old. I have a big family. Look, my father is watching TV. My mother is reading a book. My grandma is sitting on the sofa. My brother is doing his homework. I have two sisters. They are playing with toys. I love them.

    It's Jimmy's birthday and he is 9 years old. He gets a lot of presents from his family and one of them is a big drum (鼓). His grandfather buys it for him.

    Jimmy likes it very much. He plays with it every day and he often makes a terrible noise (令人讨厌的声音). His father works in the day and Jimmy is in bed when he gets home in the evening. So his father doesn't hear the noise.

    But Mrs Black doesn't like the noise, so one morning she takes a knife and goes to Jimmy's room when he hits his drum. She says to him, “Hello! Jimmy. Do you know there is something very nice in your drum? Here is a knife. Please open the drum and let's find it.”

    Hi! My name is Lily. I'm a school girl. There are four people in my family. They are my parents, my brother and me. My mother is a nurse. She is friendly and beautiful. My father is a cook. He is tall and strong. My brother Sam is a student, too. He is cute and quiet. I love my family.

Jim: I'm going away for a long time.

Bob: I'm sorry to hear that. Where are you going?

Jim: America. My father has a new job there.

Bob: That is good news for your father. It's bad news for me.

Jim: Me too.

Bob: Are you going to a new school?

Jim: Yes. I'm going to a new primary school. I'll be in Grade 4.

Bob: Will you write to me?

Jim: Yes, I will.

Bob: I will miss you!

Jim: Me too. Take care.
