I’m Li Tao. Today is October 15th. It’s my sister Li Lan’s birthday.

In the morning, my parents take us to Lucky Clothes Store first. There my mother buys a red hat for Li Lan and a blue jacket for me. Then we go to Xinhua Bookstore. There I buy an art book for Li Lan. In another (另一个) store, my father buys a ping-pong bat for her. Li Lan likes playing ping-pong with my father on Sundays.

In the afternoon, my parents have a birthday party for LiLan at home. Li Lan’s friends, Zhang Lei and Wu Rui come to the party. Zhang Lei gives Li Lan a set of colour pens (水彩笔). Wu Rui gives her a notebook. Li Lan likes them very much. We play games, sing songs, eat cakes and fruit at the party.

Hi, everyone. My name is Wang Mei. I am 13 years old. I am a student in a middle school in Suizhou. I go to school from Monday to Friday. At school, my favorite subject is PE. Do you want to know about the PE class in my school?

PE classes are very important (重要的) in my school. I have four PE classes from Monday to Thursday. At the beginning (开始) of every PE class, we all need to run around (围着……跑) the school to warm up (热身). Then, the teacher tells us what to do for that class.

Every Friday afternoon, we often play sports for one hour. Girls can go to do yoga (瑜伽), and boys can play ball games. If we don’t want to do these things, we can sit down and watch our classmates doing sports.

Do you like the PE class in my school?
