I will never forget my first English class. It is very interesting. It’s the first class in the morning. The teacher goes into the classroom with a smile on his face. At the beginning, he makes a self-introduction. And he tells us that his English name is John.

Then he asks all of us to think of English names for ourselves. We are very excited to find a good name. Then he asks us to write our names down on a piece of paper. I think about my English name for a long time. Then I come up with a beautiful name Shirley. All the students write their names down and give the paper to the teacher.

When the teacher calls “Shirley” to answer his question, three girls stand up at the same time.

Jimmy is twelve and he’s a middle school student. He comes home from school at 5:30 p.m. and he     41     his homework (作业) at 7 p.m. Then, he goes to     42     basketball with his friends. He comes home at 8 p.m. At dinner time, Jimmy says he wants to have a     43    . But Mrs. Green doesn’t think that’s a good idea (主意).

Jimmy is not happy. He asks, “    44    ?”

Mrs. Green says, “Well, you have much homework to do.     45     finishing homework, you always play basketball.”

“And you watch TV     46     about an hour after dinner. I don’t think you have time to     47     the dog,” says Mr. Green.

“Your dad is     48    . Dogs need love. If (如果) you want a dog, you must be responsible for (对……负责任的) it.”

“As a student, I must do homework.     49     is my favorite sport and it helps me be healthy. I can’t give it up (放弃). Watching TV isn’t so     50    , so I can give that up. And I love playing with dogs. Can I have one now?”

“Well, yeah!” Mrs. Green says.

Hello, boys and girls! I'm Mr. Lee, your headmaster(校长). Welcome to our school.    51

How are you? I go to school from Monday to Friday. We have six    71    (class) a day. My favorite subject is math. It's difficult but interesting. I don't like art because I can't draw(画画)     72     (good).

It is October 1st. It’s the seventieth birthday of the People’s Republic of China (中华人民共和国). Let’s tell you about my English teacher.

Mona Smith is our English teacher. We don't know how old she is. We only know her birthday is on March 6th. She is a nice woman. We don't call her Miss Smith. We call her Mona.

Her class is very interesting. She speaks English very well. She lets us only speak English in class. After class she always plays sports with us. Her favorite sport is basketball. She plays it very well. She always says, “Do you want to be healthy? Then play basketball. ” She buys some food for us, too, like(像) ice­creams, apples and bananas. She is our good friend.

Yours,

Lily
