This is our classroom. It’s very big. The walls are white and the windows are bright. The blackboard is on the wall. It’s big, too. There is also a big desk in the front of the classroom. It is for our teachers. There are forty small desks and chairs in the room. They are for students.

Look! There are some beautiful flowers on the big desk. They are for our teachers, too. Our English teacher is Miss Brown. She is a good teacher .We like her very much.

Hello! My name’s David. I’m 15. I’m a student of No.6 Middle School. I have three friends at school. They are Tom, Bill and Jim. They are all 15 years old. We are friendly to each other. There are four people in my family. They are my father, my mother, my sister Joy and I. My sister is only five. She is lovely. We live in Room 407. Our telephone number is six seven five four nine eight three two.

Everyone has a family name. In China, the family name is different from that in English countries. In English countries, the family name is the last name. Do you know how English people get their family names? And what do they mean? English people usually get their family names in these ways.

Some family names come from the places of their homes. If a man lives on or near a hill, his family name may be Hill. In England, people’s family name may be Wood or Lake, because they live near the woods or the lake. Some family names come from a person’s job. If a person is a cook, his family name may be Cook. And many people get their family names from their fathers’ first names. For example, if you see the name Jackson, you can know he is the son of Jack.

I’m so happy that you will go to the middle school.     46

Cold air. Snow. Short days. We are in winter now.

Winter is a cold season.It comes between autumn and spring.For us, the winter months are usually November, December and January. In China, winter is the time between the beginning of winter and the beginning of spring. But, this is the time that the southern part of the earth,has its summer. Justimaginewhen we are playing with snow, Australian kids are enjoying ice cream!

In winter, we can do some activities.

Put on a holiday play and try acting. Ask your cousins or classmates to your house and make beautiful clothes and write a play. Act it out for your family. Play around. Go outside and enjoy yourself. Make a snowman with your friends. If you really have to stay indoors, clean your room and decorate it. You will find a lot offun.
