American football is called soccer, but it's not the same to football. It's an American national sport.

    There are eleven players in a team. It's mainly (主要地) played by holding or throwing the ball. Some people may feel that American football is a brutal (粗暴的) sport. In fact, it's a popular competitive (竞赛) sport in America. The game also has the very high fever in the American university (大学) student community. It's one of their hobbies.

    I like my neighbours, and now I'll introduce them to you all. They are the Hus. They come from Singapore. Mr Hu is an engineer, and Mrs Hu is a doctor. They have a son, Tony. Tony is a middle school student. He is tall and handsome. They get up early in the morning every day. Mr Hu plays badminton with his son in the garden. Mrs Hu does some yoga. They keep a balance diet, too. They all look young.

    When Ruby was a baby, she was very cute. She had short hair and big blue eyes. She was in a pink baby clothes. She could crawl (爬) along the floor. She could play with blocks. She liked to lie on the floor with her mum. She could put the blocks on top of each other. She could sit in a high chair and eat from a spoon. She could eat soft food like potato, pumpkin, yoghurt and banana.

    Now Ruby is ten years old. She has long black hair. She likes eating beef and vegetables. She can do more things. She can read, write, draw and count. She can play the piano. She sometimes goes to the music hall to enjoy the concerts. She is growing up.

    There are 46 children in our class. 17 of us live near the school and they come to school on foot. 13 children come to school by bus.12 children come to school by car. Their parents drive them to school. Four children take the subway to school. They have to walk too, because the subway station is five minutes away from the school.

    I go to school by bus. The buses are always crowded, and I seldom (很少) have a seat. Usually I stand all the way to school and back home. The bus drivers know me, because I take their buses every day.
