This is my new bedroom. There is a small shelf on the desk. Two end tables are near the bed and a photo is over the bed. The chair is in front of the desk. Look at my shoes. They are under the bed. I clean my bedroom on Sunday. I empty the trash every day. Mom says I'm a helpful boy.

    Today is the Lantern Festival(元宵节), a Chinese festival. I invite my grandparents to come to my home. My friends also come. We have yuanxiao for breakfast. It is very delicious. Then we go to watch the yangge dance on the square. How interesting! In the evening, we watch the beautiful lanterns (灯笼). Everyone has a nice day.

    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.

Jim: Excuse me! I want to go to the supermarket. But I don't know where it is. Do you know?

Sue: Yes. It's near the park.

Jim: How can I get to the park?

Sue: You can get there by bus. The bus stop is just over there. You can get off the bus at the fifth stop. Then you can see the park. Go down this street and it's on the right.

Jim: How long does it take to go there by bus? 

Sue: It's about one hour.

Jim: Thank you.

Sue: You're welcome.

    My name is Jim. My favourite day is August l8th, 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 favouritemovies are comedies and action movies. After dinner, 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.

    Today is Sunday, and I go to hospital to see my friend, Mike. He hurts his left leg, and he can't go to school. It's so bad, because he cannot have his favorite class, piano lessons. But now, he gets better, because the doctor take an X-ray for him, and he takes some pills, these are good for his hurt.
