Today is Grandma’s 85th birthday.

“I want to give her a picture,” says Brian. “I take it with my new camera (相机). What is your present for Grandma?” he asks his brother Joey.

“I don’t know,” says Joey, “I don’t have a camera. So I can’t take a picture.”

Joey goes into the kitchen. His mum is busy baking. “Mum, what will (将) you give to Grandma?”

“I’m baking her favourite cake,” says Joey’s mum.

“I can’t bake cakes. I don’t know how,” says Joey. Joey goes to his sister’s room. She is busy knitting (编织). “Susan, what will you give to Grandma?”

“I’m making her a warm scarf,” says Susan.

“I can’t knit scarfs. I don’t know how,” says Joey. Joey then goes and sits next to Grandma. “Everyone has a present for you, but I can’t take a picture, bake or knit. I don’t have anything to give you,” says Joey.

Grandma puts her arms around Joey. “You have the time to come and sit with me. That’s what you can give me,” says Grandma.

Joey sits close to Grandma. “Happy birthday!” he says.

Are tablets (平板电脑) good for children?

Tablets for Study

In some schools, children use tablets in the classroom. They read, write and listen with them in the classroom. “Tablets are important,” say the children. “They help us learn. They are convenient (便利) to use.”

Tablets for Games

Many children play games on their tablets, “We like games,” say the children. “They’re fun. But we can play only at the weekend.”

Tablets for Music

Tablets are good for music, too. “We bring (带) our tablets to music lessons,” says Alice. “We listen to music and we learn new songs with them! I like to use tablets.”

Tablets for Talking

You can also talk to people with a tablet. “We talk to Grandma and Grandpa on Fridays,” says Paul. “They live in Australia. There is a camera on the tablet, so we can see our grandparents, too.”

For students, tablets are good because they are good partners (伙伴) for them. But many parents think tablets aren’t good for children, because children shouldn’t (不应该) stay at home with their tablets. Children should go out and play with other children.
