Hi, my name’s Xiong Jiujiu. I’m a five-year-old boy. My father is Wang Tao. Liu Xuan is my mother. She is a sports star. They love me, but they are very strict (严厉的).

Every morning, I have breakfast at 7:30. Then I either read books or do some fun games. After that, my mother teaches me to write. For lunch, I have some healthy food. I never eat hamburgers or ice-cream, because they are not healthy. I do lots of things in the afternoon, too. Every Tuesday and Thursday, I have online (网上的) English classes. Then I have dinner at 6:00. After dinner, I often watch TV for ten minutes. At 9:20, it’s time to go to bed. That’s my day and I’m very busy. How about your day?

There is a park near my home. People like the beautiful flowers and fresh air in the park,     1     they would like to relax there after a day’s work. Some of     2     go there every day. Look! That is Mr. King. He is     3     of his son, Jim. They look     4     . Some boys are     5     . Some girls are singing and dancing. Lucy and Lily are standing     6     a tree. They are talking. There is a     7     river in a park. We can go boating there. Some     8    are sitting in the boats with their parents.     9     ! A boy is playing the guitar, and a girl is singing a beautiful song. It’s     10     a nice park. We all like it very much.

For many students in cities, it is easy to get to school. But for Liangliang, it is difficult to get to school. There is a very big river     1     the school and their home. The river runs too fast for boats. So Liangliang c    2     the river every school day by ropeway. But he is not     3     (害怕). He loves to play with his classmates and he said, “I love my teacher. He is like a father to me.”Many of the students and     4     (村民) never leave their homes. It’s their dream to have a     5     (桥). Can their dream come true?

5 . Yuanyuan comes from China. She is a smart and beautiful girl. She has three pen friends.They are from different     1     (country) and like different animals. Lily is from Australia. She likes the koala. She thinks it’s cute and kind of shy. And it     2     (sleep) in the day, but it gets up     3     night. Bob is from Thailand.     4     (he) favorite animal is the elephant. He thinks they are     5     (friend) to people. Now elephants are in great     6     (dangerous). So he wants to do something to     7     (save) the elephants. Tom is     8     American boy. He likes tigers best. They are scary but they are very clever and cool. Yuanyuan’s favorite animal is the panda     9     it’s very cute. And it’s one of China’s     10     (symbol). What about your favorite animal?

6 . I’m Rick, a middle school student from America. I often go to school by bus. It takes me about twenty minutes from my home to school.

But at my school and other schools in our city, there is “Walk to School Day”. It is on Wednesday every week. On that day, parents send their kids to a bus stop. There are many bus stops in our city. At each bus stop, two parents volunteer to gather us to walk to school together.

“Walk to School Day” is good for air. We get exercise, too. On the way to school, we can talk to our classmates and we can also make new friends. I like “Walk to School Day”. I walk about five kilometers with other students on that day. Our school gives some students beautiful schoolbags if they do well and I get one this term.

Today is Saturday. It’s 7:00 in the evening here. I’m writing to tell you something about my life. My father is watching CCTV news. That’s his favorite program. My brother is playing computer games. My dog Dick is taking a hat to me. He wants me to put it on and go out for a walk with him. What a clever dog! My little sister is practicing playing the piano. It sounds beautiful today. Outside, I can hear cars and buses coming and going quickly. Also, there are some boys playing ball games. It’s really a noisy but happy evening. Do you think so?

What are your families doing? I know the time here is thirteen hours ahead of (提前) that in New York. Are you getting up?

Please write to me soon.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Daniel

Nick goes to a monkey cage. He gives his ice—cream to the monkey. “Want some?” Nick asks. “Don’t play with animals.” his uncle says. But Nick does not listen to him.

The monkey comes to Nick. Suddenly, it grabs (抓住) Nick’s clothes! Nick is very afraid. His uncle comes to help him quickly. He gives his ice—cream to the monkey. Then the monkey lets Nick go.
