    I'm going to the village to visit my grandma tomorrow. And my grandma's birthday is coming. Mum is going to make a big birthday cake for her. Dad is going to buy a coat for her. I will take a present for her，too. But I don't know what to take. My mother says, "What about making a card for your grandma? You can write your wishes on it." "That's a good idea." I think my grandma will be happy when she gets my present.

    Many years ago, people use a stick, a large piece of wood and dry leaves to make a fire. Today, wood, gas (煤气) and electricity (电) can all make a fire. I think wood is the most dangerous. And I like gas most because it's easy.

    People use fire in many ways. At home, people use fire to cook food and boil water. In factories, workers use fire to melt (熔化) metals (金属) to makes things of different shapes. Some workers use fire to make glass.

    Fire can help us to do many things, but sometimes fire is dangerous. Cigarettes and campfires can all start a fire in the countryside, in schools and at homes. We must be careful. We mustn't smoke in the countryside, and we mustn't cook without an adult (成年人). We mustn't play with matches. We mustn't play around a fire.

    Look! This is a picture of my bedroom. It's small. There is a bed, a desk and a chair in it. There is a toy bear on my bed. On the desk there is an English book, a blue pen and a red lamp(台灯). There is a chair beside the desk. Under the chair there is a black and white dog. I like my bedroom. Do you like my bedroom? What's in your bedroom? Can you tell me?

    Everyone wants to be healthy (健康的). Food is very important for our health. There is a lot of healthy food. You can have more bananas, apples, oranges, tomatoes and potatoes, because fruit and vegetables are good for you. But you shouldn't eat too much fast food. It's not healthy food. Healthy food can make you strong (强壮的). Sports can also keep you healthy. Get up early and do some sports every day. You will be healthy and happy.
