Look at my room (房间). My bag is on the desk. My pencil box is in my bag. My ruler is under the chair. My ball(球) is under the desk. Uh-oh ! Where is my book? Oh, silly me! It’s in my hand.

A young woman wanted to buy a talking parrot for herself. Then she went into a pet shop. She went to the shop owner and told him about her requirement. The owner said, “Yes, Miss. I have a talking parrot.” Then he showed her the parrot.

The owner said, “You pull the string on the left leg, and he’ll say ‘Hi, how are you?’. You pull the string on the right leg, and he’ll say ‘I’m fine, thank you.’.”

And the young woman asked, “What happens when I pull the two strings?”

“Then I will fall down, you foolish woman!” said the parrot.

In a Park

There is a park near our school. We can see many trees and flowers there. Some flowers are red, and some are yellow. We can see a hill behind the park, too. At the foot of the hill we can see a river. there are some boats on it. Children like to go there. It is Monday today. There are many Young Pioneers in the park. Some are walking and singing. Some are dancing or playing games. Ann and her sister Kate are flying a kite. Tom and his brother Sam are throwing a Frisbee. Their father and mother are sitting under the tree. All the family members are having a good time.

Yesterday was Sunday and it was a fine day. The sky was blue and it was sunny. Mike got up at seven. He watered the flowers and did some exercise. Then he woke up his sister, Helen. An hour later, they took a taxi to Beihai Park. The park is very beautiful. They had a picnic and then they went boating. Mike rowed well, but Helen rowed faster than him. They rowed around the lake for a long time. They went back home at 4:30. After they got home, they helped their mother with housework. They had a good time yesterday.

In autumn, leaves fall to the ground. Many trees have nuts and fruit. Animals may begin to store food. Some birds collect nuts to store. Other birds fly to warmer places for winter. They won’t return until spring. Days become shorter. Cold weather is coming. The fur of many animals gets thick because they need a thick coat to protect them. People also wear warmer clothes, because the weather is a little colder. In some places there may be rain or even snow, but in many southern places it is still warm. Autumn is also the time when farmers harvest their crops. People look forward to autumn for many reasons. The most important one is that autumn is he harvest season.
