I want to help him to change it. Now he gets up at 6:30 every morning.     28     And then he goes to school. He has no time to go home for lunch, so he has it at school.     29     Sometimes he has fish, too. He has dinner at home. He plays basketball with his friends in the park every Saturday.     30    

What about playing soccer this afternoon? I know you love it. Mike and John will (将) play with us, too. I’m in John’s home now. We will go to the school library in the afternoon first. Let’s meet there.

My soccer ball is under my bed. My phone is on the table. Can you help me find them and bring them to school for me? If you can’t find them, you can ask Mom for help.

Yours,

Bill

Do you know English people’s family names? Everyone（每个人）has a family name. But what does it mean（意思是）? What do family names come from?

First, some family names are from the place（地点）of people’s homes. If a man lives on or near a hill, his family name may be Hill. In England, people’s family names may be Wood or Lake, because they live near the wood or lake（树林或湖) . Second, family names are from a person’s job. If a person is a cook, he may be Mr. Cook. Third, many people get their family names from their fathers’ given names. If you hear the family name “Jackson”, you will know that he is the son of Jack.
