It's summer. The deer and the bear swim in the lake. They are happy. 'I like summer.' says the deer. 'Why do you like summer?' asks the bear. 'Because I can swim in the lake.' It's autumn. The deer and the bear go hiking. They eat a lot. Winter comes. The bear can't skate. The bear sleeps at home. Spring comes. The bear wakes up. The deer and the bear go to fly kites. How happy they are! 'I like winter.' says the bear. 'Because I can sleep for a long time.'

    Hello. We are Billy and Sally. We have two new classmates. They are Li Ming and Li Hong. They are brother and sister. They are twelve years old. They are twins(双胞胎). Li Ming is tall and fat, but Li Hong is thin. Li Ming likes eating sweet cola and cold ice cream, but Li Hong likes eating fish and vegetable(蔬菜). They have two robots. They are new. The red robot is Li Hong's and the green robot is Li Ming's.

    Last week we talked about growing potatoes. Today we will talk about growing another root vegetable, carrots. Carrots are easy to grow and easy to harvest. They taste good. And they contain a lot of carotene (胡萝卜素). When we eat the carrots, our body makes carotene into vitamin A(维生素A).

    When we think of carrots, we usually say carrots are long, thin and orange. But carrots are in many different sizes and shapes. And not all carrots are orange. Sometimes we have green carrots with yellow inside.

    Carrots should be planted in the sand. The soil also should have no rocks.

    My name is Li Lin. I live in Nanjing. My new home is on the eighteenth floor. We ride the elevator (电梯) up to our new home. It's much bigger than our old one. My bedroom is big and bright.

    From the window I can see many cars and people down in the streets. They look very small. The cars are like toys. At night we watch the lights go on over the city. The lights look like stars in the sky.
