One day, after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Davies told their son, Matt, the decision about moving to London. The boy felt surprised and upset. He didn’t want to leave his friends.

However, Matt refused to go together with his parents.

Friends are different things to different people. To my little sister, a friend is someone who likes to swim and ride bikes. My mom’s idea of a friend is someone like Mrs. Smith who walks and talks with her every morning. My dad’s friends are neighbors who help him with the work like building shelves (架子) and planting trees.
Steve, our monitor, is my best friend. We go skating, play football, talk about sports, and go to a concert. When I broke my leg, he always came over to play games; in school, he carried my schoolbag for me and got my lunch for me. I know I can always depend on him, and he also knows he can depend on me.
Some friends may be in your life for a while. Others will be there for a long time, maybe even forever (永远). I would hate to move, unless I could take my friends with me. They are too important to leave behind.

I’m Ted. I’d like to tell you something about my birthday. Last Sunday was my 12th birthday. I planned to have a birthday party on Saturday night. I sent 50 invitations to my friends on Monday. About 25 people told me they would come. On Saturday afternoon, I went to the supermarket to buy some food and drinks. I came home at around 17:30. I was really glad my parents helped clean the house.
The first person arrived at 18:00, and the others came later. Instead of the small number of 25, 40 people came: I didn’t have enough food or drinks for them, so I had to have a party in town.
The party in town was fun. The music was beautiful. We danced for a long time. We were all very happy.
The next day I spent my birthday with my parents. And I talked with my grandparents on the phone. I really had a great time.

【推荐3】Partying is fun. But if you are invited to a party by a foreigner, what should you wear? Should you bring anything? If so, what? Don’t worry. We are going to give you some tips about partying with foreigners.
First you should ask if it is a formal (正式的) or a casual (非正式的) party. Then you will know what to wear. At a casual party, it is OK to bring a bottle of wine or some other drinks and food.

Mario believes it can help him to get his future dream job. “It’s hard work,” he says, “but I want to learn more about how to care for animals.
