In many English homes, people eat four meals a day, breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner.

They have breakfast at any time from seven to nine in the morning. They eat porridge, bread or eggs. They drink tea or coffee.

Lunch comes at one o’clock in the afternoon. Afternoon tea is from four to five in the afternoon, and dinner is about 7:30. First, they have some soup, then they have meat or fish. After that, they eat some other things, like bananas, apples or oranges. But not all English people like that. Some of them have their dinner in the middle of the day. Their meals are breakfast, dinner, tea and these meals are very simple (简单).

I’m Billy. My favourite day is Sunday. My father doesn’t go to work on Sundays. We often do some interesting things. Sometimes we go to the countryside to see my grandfather. My mother often makes some vegetable hamburgers and asks us to take them to my grandfather. The vegetable hamburgers are very nice. My grandfather likes them very much.

Sometimes we go to museums. In the museums we can see many kinds of interesting things and learn about science and history. We usually go there in the morning. We went to the Hong Kong Space Museum last Sunday. And we had a happy morning there.

Sometimes my father and I take my dog Frank to play in the park. I like Frank very much. He is a clever dog. My father helps me train him. Now he can play soccer and dance.

Sometimes we go on trips. Last month my father drove my mother and me to Beijing. We climbed the Great Wall and took photos of stone animals. We ate Beijing Roast Duck and bought some gifts for my grandfather. Finally, I visited the Palace Museum with my parents. We had a great time there.

There are four seasons in a year. They are spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Spring is a beautiful season. It is from march to may. In spring, the trees turn green, and the flowers come out. Everything looks new.

Summer is a happy season. It is from June to August. In summer, we can swim and eat a lot of ice cream. Of course, we have a long holiday, summer holiday! At that time, we can join the summer camp. That’s great.

Autumn is a colorful season. It is from September to November. In autumn, the leaves on the trees turn yellow. Sometimes they are red. The colors are beautiful.

Winter is a cold season. It is from December to February. In winter, it begins to snow in most places of China. Snow is white, and everything looks white. The children like playing with snow.

In my family, all of us like animals. I like pandas best. Pandas live in China. They are very cute and lovely. They like eating bamboo. My father likes the tiger very much. He thinks the tiger is strong and the king of the beasts (兽中之王). My mother keeps some chickens, ducks and pigs in the yard (院子). The chickens and ducks lay eggs. They like to walk around in the yard. My grandfather keeps some sheep. After breakfast, my grandfather takes them out and goes back home in the afternoon.

Do you like animals? I think you should keep some animals, too.
