    In England, people don't usually talk very much. People often read books and newspapers when they are on a bus or on a train and sometimes they like looking out of the window. But they don't talk much. When you meet English people, they often talk about the weather. So when you meet your friends in England, you can say, "It's a nice day today!" "But it was a little colder yesterday," your friend may answer. "But it will get a bit warmer later!" you can say. Talk about the weather like this, and your English friend will think, "How friendly you are! How polite you are!"

    In last summer holiday, our family took a trip by plane. We came to the Chinese capital, Beijing. Beijing is a beautiful city. It has many places of historic interest and beauty spots(景点). We visited the Palace Museum. I saw the Chinese great leader Chairman Mao's body He is still worth people's admiration. Then we visited the Summer Palace, where the scenery is very beautiful. We also went to the Bird's Nest, and it is very great. Finally, we went to the Great Wall, really spectacular. I heard that the Great Wall was built to defend the invasion, with many people's blood.

    The trip is very meaningful. I love Beijing very much.

    Two goats live on the left side of a river. One day they want to eat the grass on the right side. There is a bridge over the river. But on the bridge there is a lion. What should they do? They think of a plan.

    The first goat meets the lion. The lion shouts, "I'm going to eat you!" The first goat says, "Don't eat me, please. The second goat is bigger and younger than me." So the lion lets the first goat go.

    Then the second goat comes. The lion shouts, "I'm going to eat you!" The second goat says, "Don't eat me, please. The third goat is bigger and younger than me." So the lion lets the second goat go.

    The lion waits and waits, but there is not a third goat.

    Every kind of animals has their own way to live well in winter. In winter, the weather gets colder and colder. There is snow on the ground. Some animals sleep all the winter. These animals eat plenty of food in autumn. They need little or no food when they sleep. Some birds fly to the south for winter. They go to a warmer place to look for food. Some animals get much food in autumn and keep it at home. They may grow new and thick fur in autumn, too. Then they can feel warmer. In winter some animals live in the trees or under the ground.

    There are many more and more animals in danger at present, so it is our responsibility to protect them. It's wrong for people to hunt animals for their meat and fur, for they are our good friends. We should protect them instead of killing them.

    Pandas, which are one of the endangered animals, live in the forests and live on bamboo leaves. They can just live safely in the natural protection zones. We should stop killing animals and protect them.

    Today is Saturday. It's a nice day. John and Jim go to a nature park. There is a big forest in the park. There is a beautiful lake near the forest and they can see some fish in it. There is a bridge over the river. They take some pictures on the bridge. There is a mountain in the park. They want to climb mountains, but they have no time.

    My name is Peter. I'm 11 years old. I'm 140cm. like winter very much because I can make a snowman and play with the snow. It's very interesting. My friend Mike is 1 year younger than me, but he is 5cm taller than me. He also likes winter because he likes ice skating. Next winter holiday, we're going to Harbin to see the snow in the north of China. It will be very cold, and we can play with snow every day!

Dear Mum,

    How are you? Every day I had fun with my cousins. On Monday we went to a restaurant. We ate good food. On Tuesday we went to a park. We sang and danced. On Wednesday we played ping-pong. On Thursday we climbed a mountain. We took many pictures. Tomorrow I'll be back home!

    Miss you and dad.

Love.

John

    One day, the famous American scientist Albert Einstein came across an old friend in the street in New York. "Mr. Einstein," said the friend. "it seems that you need a new overcoat. This one is worn out!" "It doesn't matter," answered Einstein. "Nobody knows me here in New York." Seven years passed, and they met in New York again. Einstein had become a world famous physicist by then, but he still wore the same old overcoat. Once more his friend tried to persuade him into getting a new one. "There is no need now." said Einstein. "Everyone here knows me."
