Hello! My name is Carl Smith. I am a junior high school student. I come from England, but I’m in Beijing now. I live with my parents and my two sisters. My parents are English teachers in No.8 Junior High School. I am in the same school. I like my new school very much. It is nice, and my classmates are very kind to me. They like to play with me. I look different from them. I have blue eyes and long brown hair. I speak English well, so many students like talking with me. I am happy here.

Good evening! This morning, I played basketball with Jack. He told me you wanted to take a tour in the country. I’m from a town and Jack thought maybe I could give you some advice. He was right.

My town isn’t far from our city and it only needs half an hour by bus. In the morning, you can visit a big house with old furniture and pictures. I like one picture very much. It has dragons in it. Of course, you can also see the pictures of your favourite monkeys. You can enjoy potato noodles for lunch. They are traditional food in my town. They are delicious. We’ve got other vegetables, such as tomatoes and carrots. In the afternoon, you can play water games in the river. Children in my town often play and catch fish there. Maybe you can catch some too. You can take the last bus home.

Yours,

Bill

Now many students know sports are good for their health.     46     Some of them only watch them on TV. What’s more (而且), many of them only like watching TV and playing computer games. They often say, “    47     Play basketball? Oh, it sounds difficult.”

    48     They don’t have carrots for lunch and they don’t have tomatoes for dinner. But vegetables and fruit are healthy food.     49     But they like junk food (垃圾食品).     50    

If (如果) you would like to be healthy, eat vegetables and play sports every day.

My name is Susan. I am from America. I am 13 years old. I have a good friend, Linda. We go to the same school.

Our school is cool! It’s not very big but it is great! The best part(最好的部分) about my school is that our teachers are very nice and kind. At school, we have many subjects. In the morning, we usually have English, math, science and history. We eat lunch at 12 o’clock in the school. After that, we have art, geography and P. E. Our lessons finish at 3:00 p. m. We have many activities in our school like school trip, book sale, art festival, Sports Day and so on. I like the book sale best, because I can always find many good books there.

We like our school very much!
