I'm Bill. I'm American. I live and work in Hong Kong. I work hard from Monday to Friday. On Saturdays and Sundays I have nothing to do. Usually I go to see my good friend Jim. Jim comes from England. He often tells me about his country and his family. We are going to have a seven-day holiday, so we are going to visit London. And Jim is going to see his parents in England.

    Today is August 17 th. The sun is shining. The wind blows gently. It is very hot. The Lis are at the beach on holiday. Look, Peter is swimming in the sea. He swims very fast. His lather shouts to him: "Don't swim too far. The sea is very deep." Peter's sister Jenny doesn't like to swim in the sea. She is collecting shells on the beach. She has a lot of shells in her bag. There is a little boy beside Jenny. Fie is eating a banana. Then he puts the peel on the sand. "Hey, boy. Don't throw the rubbish on the sand. It's dirty." Jenny says. The boy's face turns red.
