    Most American families are smaller than the families in other countries. Children in the USA will leave their parents when they grow up. They usually live far from their parents because they want to find good jobs. They often write to their parents or telephone them. And they often go to visit their parents on holidays.

    Parents usually let their children choose their own jobs. Americans think it is important(重要的) for them to make decisions(作决定).

    Children are also asked to do some housework at home. And in many families，children will get money from their parents for doing some housework. Because American parents want to let their children learn how to make money for their own use.

    Our classroom is bright and clean. But it is not big. There are twenty-three desks and chairs in it. They are new. There's a big desk in the front of the classroom. It's for our teachers. There are five pictures on the right wall. There's a map of the world and a map of China on the left wall. Beside the window there's a bookshelf. There are many books on it. They are story-books. Our classroom is very nice. We have our lessons here. We like our classroom.

    My name is Chen Jie. I'm from China. I'm a Chinese girl. I live in a big city. We have spring, summer, autumn and winter here. I like spring best. It's windy and warm. We can fly kites in spring. It's the best time to plant trees, too. I don't like summer. It's too hot. In winter it never snows in our city. So it's not very cold.
