Every day the pupils have a Free Activity Hour. In this hour they can do anything. They paint a lot. They listen to, songs or stories on the tapes. They play with toys or watch television. Now they are in their Free Activity Room. Two girls are standing there and painting. Two boys are lying on the floor and painting. The two girls in the middle are listening to a cassette. They have a recorder before them. Two boys are sitting at a table. One of them is writing something. A boy is sitting by a TV set. He is not watching TV. He is reading a book. There is a book case in the room. You can borrow any of the books in it. The children love the Free Activity Hour. It's great fun!

    Do you enjoy reading? Here readers of your age from all over the United States recommend(推荐) great books for you to read:

    My favourite book is Don't Die, My Love, written by Lurlene McDaniel. I love all her books, but this was the first one I read and I have to say, it is by far my favourite. It doesn't end like other books, and I cried while reading.

    I think Nancy Drew is great! Nancy is a detective(侦探) who has many fantastic ideas! I love it because it's a book from when my grandma was my age, and I can share fun with her!

    I recommend Skinny Bones. Its writer is Barbara Park. It is funny, so please add it on your book list. You don't want to miss funny stories!

    I suggest Growing Trouble by Judy Blume. It is based(以......为基础) on real things that happened to Judy Blume. It is about a girl, Alice, who meets some girls at a new state.

    They become friends, make a club and meet once a week. They stop after two weeks because they all like a boy in their class and put him as number one. I think every girl should read this because it is about our growing up.

    There are some special traditions in Hawail. People are very friendly and always welcome visitors. They give visitors a long necklace of beautiful fresh flowers. Men wear bright flowered shirts, and women often wear long flowered dresses. There are traditional Chinese, Japanese and Filipino holidays and all the holidays from the United States. They call Hawaii the Aloha State. Aloha means both "hello and "goodbye". It also means "I love you".

    Usually when people from different countries, races, and traditions live together, there are serious problems. There are a few problems in Hawaii, but in general, people have learned to live together in peace.

    Hawaians make a living and earn most of their money from travellers and most of the travellers come from the mainland and from Japan. There are many people living in Hawail now so there are residential areas where there used to be farms. Some of the big sugar and pineapple companies have moved to the Philippines, where they do not have to pay workers much money. The families of the first people who came from the USA mainland own the important banks and companies. Japanese are also starting businesses here.

    Once my father and I went to see a circus(马戏团). A family was standing in front of us1  for tickets. The family had eight children. Their clothes were not expensive but they were clean. They were talking about the clowns(小丑) and elephants excitedly.

    "I want ten tickets, eight for children and two for adults(成人)."said the father to the ticket lady. The ticket lady told him the 2. When he heard that, the man couldn't believe his ears. He asked again," How much?" The ticket lady said again. The father looked 3 . Clearly, he didn't have 4money. My dad took a $ 20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he 5 the bill, and said to the man, "Sir, this fell out of your pocket." The man knew what was going on. He looked into my dad's eyes and took the bill." Thank you, thank you, Sir. This 6means a lot to me and my family." We didn't go to the circus that night, but we didn't feel sorry for it at all.   72    .
