My name is Victor. I like playing basketball and I’m in the school basketball team. My friends are in the school basketball team, too. Do you want to know something about them?

What do I look like? Well, my hair is just like Larry’s, and my height is just like Steve’s. Now do you know what I look like?

John and Tina come from different countries. They are interested in Chinese food. They usually eat Chinese food in restaurants and often talk about it.

It’s Saturday today and it’s sunny. John asks Tina to have dinner at Ms. Brown’s House. It’s the first time that Tina goes there for dinner.

“Hi, John. Are there different kinds of food at Ms. Brown’s House?” Tina asks.

“Of course. There’re all kinds of noodles, such as chicken and cabbage noodles, mutton and potato noodles, tomato and egg noodles and beef and carrot noodles,” John says.

“Sounds great! I like tomato and egg noodles very much,”said Tina.

“Me, too. There are also delicious dumplings and specials. After dinner, we can have ice-cream and fruit. They are on sale.”

“Ice-cream? I know a new kind of ice-cream. It is delicious. And you can keep it for an hour.”

“Great! But there isn’t any at Ms. Brown’s House.”

My best friend Jack works in the same company as me. We often go to Nando’s for lunch because it is just next to our building and the food there is delicious.    16     The first Nando’s opened in 1987 and now we can find the restaurant in 26 countries all over the world.

We usually finish working at 12：30 p.m. and then we will get to the restaurant in ten minutes.     17     We can see the beautiful scenes (景色) out of the window. Sometimes the restaurant is very busy during the lunch hours, so we have to wait a moment.     18     There are some onions and carrots in the chicken dish. Usually I’d like a bowl of tomato soup and a cheese sandwich.     19     The vegetable salad is his favorite.     20    

What would you like to eat? If you like sweet food, the strawberry ice cream in Nando’s will be a good choice for you.

I spent my summer vacation     31     my parents last year. We     32     (climb) the mountain. It was a little cold on the mountain.     33     (lucky), we took our clothes with us.

We had lunch on the top of the mountain. When we finished     34     (eat) food, it was two o’clock. At that time, we found a small animal in the tree,     35     we didn’t know its name. My parents were     36     (interest) in it.

When going down the mountain, we relaxed and     37     (feel) very happy. We had a party at bottom of the mountain. My parents made a fire     38     (keep) us warm. I played     39     guitar, and then we danced and took a lot of     40     (photo).

We really had so much fun there. We hope we can go there again one day.
