I’m Alex. I’m a student of Grade 7. Many of my friends walk to school, but I like to go to school by bike every day. I get up at 7:00. Then I wash my face and have breakfast, I put the schoolbag on my back and go to school at 7:30.

Mary is my classmate, she likes walking to school. She doesn’t like to wear a schoolbag. She likes to carry her books in her arms. When she walks, she likes to kick (踢) the autumn leaves. But she likes to look at the flowers best.

I like to go to school on my bike because I can feel (感受) the fresh air in my face. When I get to school, I say hello to my teachers and wait for my friends in our classroom.

Vegetables are good for our health. They give us different kinds of vitamins (维生素) and help us grow. Eating carrots is good for our eyes, because carrots can help us see better at night. Do you want to have strong teeth? Eat some beans. Beans have vitamin K in them. Vitamin K is helpful for our teeth.

Do you like tomatoes? They look nice. Doctors call tomatoes “healthy vegetables”, because they can stop illness (疾病). They also have vitamin P and it can keep our skin (皮肤) healthy. So it is important to eat some tomatoes. Don’t forget spinach. The spinach leaves have vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E. They can help us do our jobs better.

Vegetables are very important to us, but we can’t only have vegetables. We also need other kinds of food to keep healthy.

We study at school from Monday to Friday in a week. Which day is your favourite at school? Maybe different students have different answers.

Dale is very happy today, because it is Monday. Monday is boring (无聊的) for a lot of students, because they have to go to school again. But for Dale, it is not.

On Monday, Dale has PE. It is Dale’s favourite subject. The PE teacher, Mr Liu, is very funny. He always plays games with the students, and he always has ways to make his classes interesting. This is why Dale likes Monday. But for Alan, it is different. Thursday is his favourite day. He wants to travel around the world one day. And on that day, they have geography. From the class, he can learn more about different countries. So he thinks he should study it from now on. Do you know what day Jim likes best? It’s Friday. Why? Ha-ha, because the next day is Saturday! He doesn’t go to school, and he can get up late.
