Mike is a student of Liwan School. He is eleven years old, he is thin and short. He is often sick. He doesn’t eat much food for lunch or dinner, because he always eats candy or other snacks（零食）before meals. He doesn’t like sports and seldom takes exercise. After school, he goes back home and begins to do his homework at about 6: 00 p. m. When he finishes his homework before 9: 30, he sometimes does some reading. His home is far away from the school, he needs to get up early. But he can’t! Because he goes to bed after 11:00 p. m. every night. Yesterday he was late for school again, and he slept in class. Homework was a little difficult for him. He felt sad. What should he do?

My mother is beautiful and she likes juice. My father is strong. He likes pork and bread. We all don't eat too many sweets because they’re not good for our teeth.

I’m Lucy. I’ve got a new pen friend. Her name is Mary. She is American, but now she lives in London, UK. She can speak English very well. Now she is learning Chinese.

I am Ken. I love stamps very much. Now I have about two hundred stamps. I always go to the post office to buy stamps on the weekend. Sometimes I use my pocket money to buy some stamps,but I can’t buy the most beautiful ones. Because they are very dear. Now I have 50 yuan. It is just enough to buy a new stamp with a panda. So I get ready to go to the post office near my house.

 One day, Mr White came home very late. He looked for the key to the door, but can’t find it. He lost his key. He rang the bell, but nothing happened. He did it again. Nobody moved inside the room. Mr White knocked at the bedroom window, he spoke to his wife, he shouted, but she didn’t wake up. At last he stopped and thought for a moment. Then he began to speak like a small child. He said, “Mother, I want to go to the toilet.” He spoke quite quietly , but at once Mrs White woke up. Then he spoke to her, and she opened the door for him.
