Jack was born in New York. He lived there with his parents for more than ten years. Last year his father came to work in Beijing. China is quite different from America, and Beijing is far away from New York. So Jack wanted to know what kind of life the Chinese people were living. He often wrote to his father to ask some questions about China.

Last month, Jack and his mother came to China. How happy he was! Now Jack has some Chinese lessons every day. We all know Chinese is quite different from English. It's not easy for an American boy to learn. But Jack is interested in it and he works very hard.

For the first time in Beijing Jack was walking in Chang'an Street with his mother yesterday. He saw so many people in the street. Most of them were very kind and friendly. He tried to ask them some questions in Chinese. They answered his questions kindly. But sometimes some of them couldn't understand him.

When Jack came back to school, he told the story to his friends. They said to him, "A lot of Chinese are studying English now. Why didn't you ask them questions in English?"

Once there was a boy named Jimmy. He drew many beautiful interesting pictures, and many people bought his pictures. They thought this boy would be famous when he grew up, and then they were going to sell these pictures for a lot of money.

Jimmy’s pictures were different from other people’s because be drew on half of the paper, and the other half was always empty. “That’s very clever,” everyone said, “His drawing is special!”

One day somebody asked him, “Jimmy, why do you draw on the bottom (底部) half of your pictures, but not on the top half?”

“Because I’m short,” Jimmy said, “And my brushes can’t reach very hight.”

That elephant is fat and strong. What about pandas? They can climb trees! I like bears very much because they are strong and clever. What animals do you like?
