Welcome to Happy Children’s Palace

Hello, everyone! My name is Tom. Today is my thirteenth birthday. I get many presents from my family. Do you want to have a look?

I like playing soccer very much. I have many soccer balls. Look at this new one. It is from my cousin. It’s very nice. The number of my soccer balls is the same as my age now.

My uncle gives me a new schoolbag. It’s really a big one. I can put many things in it. My uncle buys it in New York.

My brother buys a pink water bottle for me. It’s hot in summer. I really need a water bottle.

The computer is from my parents. I like it very much. I want to be an IT worker when I grow up.

Nowadays, people are becoming busier and busier. We are busy with our work and aren’t able to spend time on our sports. In fact, we should take part in some outdoor activities. Outdoor activities can make us happy and healthy. The following are some outdoor activities.

First, jogging (慢跑) is a kind of outdoor activity. It is good for your health. You can jog at both weekdays and weekends. The second is horse riding. Another one is cycling (骑自行车). It is a common (常见的) outdoor activity. It is a game too. And swimming can make us feel cool in summer. When I was young, I often swam in the river near my home. But now there are fewer clean rivers now. The last one is camping (露营). Let’s suppose: How will you feel when you sleep on the green grass and enjoy the fresh air on one sunny afternoon? For sure, we will feel relaxed.

Weekends are time for rest. Maybe the weekend is too short, but we can try to plan the time well.     41    

◆Get up early.

The weekend is not only a time for bed.     42     That’s too bad. We can have more free time if we get up early.

◆     43    

We usually have homework on weekends. We can feel better if we do our homework early. We can do it on Friday evening. And then we can play happily for two days. I often do my homework on Friday evening, so     44    

◆Go out for fun.

Do what you like to do.     45     We can also visit a museum, a zoo or a park.
