It is a fine Sunday morning. Ann and her mother are on a big bus. There are many people on it. Some of them come from America, and some come from England and others come from Japan. They are all their friends. They are going to the Great Wall. There are two Chinese on the bus. One is a woman. She is driving the bus. The other is a young man. He speaks good English. He is now talking about the Great Wall. The other people are all listening to him. They like the Great Wall. They want to see it very much.

   I have a nice picture of a room. I see some boys and girls in it. Two boys are at a table. They are Tom and Jone. Who's that in a red skirt? She is Sue. She's on a chair. Look! Who's under the bed? It's Jim. A cat is under the bed, too.

    Mr. White looks out of his window. There is a boy at the there side of the street. The boy takes some bread out of a bag and begins eating it. There is a very thin dog in the street too.

    The boy says to it, “Come here, good dog. I'll give you some bread.” The dog is hungry and goes to the boy, but he does not give it any bread. He kicks the dog. It runs away.

    Then Mr. White comes out of his house and says to the boy, “I'll give you a shilling.”

    The boy is happy and says,“Yes”. “Come here,” Mr. White says. The boy goes to him, but Mr. White doesn't give him a shilling. He hits him with a stick.

    The boy cries and says, “Why do you hit me? I don't ask you for any money.” “No,” Mr. White says, “And the dog doesn't ask you for any bread, but you kick it.”

    This is a picture of a family. The grandmother's name is Harry Smith. The grandfather's name is Jean Smith. They are very old. They are Americans.

    The father'sname is Lake Smith. He is 44. The mother's name is Kate Smith. She is 40. They have a son of ten and a daughter of fifteen.   

    The son's name is John Smith and the daughter's name is Mary Smith. They are students of No.12 Middle School. Kate is a teacher of the same school. Lake is a policeman. It's a very good family.

Sue: How are you, Jack?

Jack: Fine, thank you. And you?

Sue: I'm fine, too. Thank you. But I can't find the picture. I must find the picture. I must find it now.

Jack: Which picture?

Sue: It's a new one. My father, my mother and I are in it. My father is in a blue coat. My mother is in a red dress. I'm in brown blouse. A tree is behind us.

Jack: Oh, look! What's that under the table?

Sue: Yes, that's it! Thank you, Jack.

Jack: That's all right.
