The Best Runner
We had a sports day at school yesterday. Last year’s best runner, Li Yu, only won the second prize in the 800-meter race. Instead, Yang Liu from Class 2 came first by two seconds. Next year the race is going to be more Interesting! Who will be the best runner? I wonder.
Good-bey, Mr. White!
Our English teacher, Mr. White, has finished his two years’ teaching at our school and will leave next month. Mr. White is an excellent teacher and he’s always friendly to us. We’ll never forget his lively and interesting teaching. We are lucky to be his students. We thank him for all his hard work and wish him a nice journey home. We will miss you, Mr. White!
