Peter likes computer games very much. A _________ test is coming, but he is still playing on his computer. “I must do math homework now,” Peter thinks. “_________ I want to finish this game first.”

“BLEEP! BLEEP!” There is a loud sound on his _________. “What is that?” Peter says to himself and then he _________ a big red message (信息) on his computer: “You MUST NOT play computer games. You MUST do your homework.”

“_________ are you?” Peter asks.

“I’m Jacob. I can see you.”

Peter is afraid and has to do his math homework. After some time, he _________ on his computer again (又). “BLEEP! BLEEP!” says the computer. “Oh, no!” thinks Peter. “A big _________ message again?” Yes! It says: “STOP! I can see _________. Do your homework!” Now Peter is very afraid. He does all his math homework.

Then it’s time for _________. Peter’s family are all at the table. “Do you finish your math homework?” asks Dad. “Yes, Dad,” says Peter.

“Excuse me, Jack. Please __________ some rice for me,” Mum says to Dad.

“Here you are!” says Dad.

“Dear me! I know who Jacob is! It’s Dad!” Peter shouts.

My name’s Peter. This is my room. On the bed is my white quilt. Look! Many CDs are in the bookcase. I like music very much. I often listen to music for children (儿童) in my free time. My brother’s clock is in the bookcase, too. Where is my schoolbag? Oh, it’s on the desk.

I’m Linda. Welcome to my room. My room is tidy. My ID card and red schoolbag are on the desk. What are those in the bookcase? They are my tapes and books. Where is my English dictionary? It’s in the bookcase, too. It’s very useful. With its help, I know many words.

Hi, I’m Alice. What can you see in my room? My computer is on the desk. I often play computer games on it. Some keys are on the chair. My schoolbag is on the bed. Where are my books? They are everywhere. Some are on the chair, some are on the bed, and some are on the sofa. What are those under the bed? Oh, they are two basketballs. They are Anna’s. Anna likes her room tidy.

Jenny comes from England. She teaches English in China now. She knows a little Chinese. She loves Chinese because she thinks it is great. She often studies Chinese with the help of a Chinese-English dictionary.

It’s Sunday today. Jenny can’t wait to test her Chinese. She goes out to do some shopping. When she gets to a big store, she comes out of her car and goes in.

“Can I help you?” the girl in the store asks her in Chinese. “Yes, please. I need a cup,” Jenny says in Chinese, too. When she says “cup”, it sounds like “quilt”. “I’m sorry, but we don’t sell quilts here. Are you sure you need a quilt?” says the girl. Jenny says, “Yes, I need a new cup to drink water.” The girl thinks for a minute and then goes to the back of the shop. “My Chinese is not good, but it looks that the girl knows me,” Jenny thinks.

After a minute the girl comes back. She gets Jenny a nice cup. “Thank you very much!” Jenny says to the girl happily. “You’re welcome!” the girl says with a smile.

Michael Platte, a 12-year-old boy, is from the USA. He likes making cupcakes. His grandmother is his teacher. Now he’s good at making all kinds of cupcakes. He always makes cupcakes on Sunday afternoon and takes some to his classmates the next morning. They say the cupcakes are tasty. Michael is happy that his classmates like his cupcakes.

One day, Michael sees a boy standing in front of a cake store. He stands there and watches a big cake. The boy loves it, but he doesn’t have money. He is from a children’s home. Michael wants very much to help those homeless children like the boy. Then he has a good idea. With his family’s help, Michael has a small cupcake store—Michael’s Sweets. When Michael sells one cupcake, he gives $0.5 to the children’s home. And every week he gives about $15 to the children’s home. It’s not much money, but his small act of kindness can help those poor children.

What food do you eat every day? Do you eat healthy food? Now many people like to have black food—black rice, black beans, black grapes. Why do they like black food? Here are some of their answers.

. Black food can make their white hair into black hair.

. Black food is good for the heart.

. Black food can help their children be smart.

Black food is very good, but our body needs food of various colors. Food is colorful. Some food is green, some food is red, and some is black. It isn’t good to always eat food of the same color. Colorful fruits and vegetables are good for our health. Their colors help us keep healthy. Green is good for our eyes. Blue and purple help us remember (记住) things well. They are good for our eyes, too. Red gets us healthy hearts. Yellow and orange get us much Vitamin C.

So we need to eat all kinds of foods. You can take photos of your foods for one week. Then you can use them to know clearly what you eat every day.

How are you?     26     Let me tell you now.

In the morning, we have four classes. At 8:00, we have the first class. It is always math, English or Chinese.     27     Why? Because I love numbers very much. The second class begins at 9:00. After the class, we have a break (课间休息).     28     The next two classes are from 10:00 to 11:45. And then we have lunch in the school dining hall at 12: 00. I like to eat food there. In the afternoon, we always have P. E., art or music.     29     In the P. E. class, I can play sports. How interesting! Our classes finish at 4:00. Then we can go home.

    30     What about your school days?

Yours,
