We have twenty minutes’ rest between classes. Look! Most of us are playing during the rest time. Some students are on the playground. They are having a basketball game. Oh! A boy is running with a ball. And another is trying to stop him. They are so cool. And there are some girls watching the game. Some students are in the classroom. They are talking. A few of them are reading or doing homework. Look! A girl is looking at the birds in a tree in front of the classroom. She must be thinking of something interesting because she is smiling.What are the teachers doing? Do you know? Some of them are working in the office, and some are talking with students. Everyone is busy with his or her things. Busy and happy!

Tom went to Beijing by plane on his holiday. Every day he had fun with his parents. They went boating. They saw some elephants. They went swimming. They ate lots of fresh food. They also took many beautiful pictures. He enjoyed his holiday.

My name is Li Mei. I’m 13 years. There are three people in my family. They are my father, my mother and me. My father is a farmer. In the past, he got the crops in by hand. Now he uses a machine. It can get the crops in very quickly. It can save a lot of time. My mother is a street cleaner. In the past, she swept the streets with a broom. Now she drives a street sweeper. It can clean the streets in a short time. My home is far from my school. I went to school on foot five years ago. Now I go to school by bus every day.

I am busy on weekends. On Saturday morning, I always go to my music club. On Saturday afternoon, I often stay at home and do my homework. Sometimes I go shopping. On Sunday morning, I help my mother clean the room. On Sunday afternoon, I often play ping-pong or basketball.

What’s the weather like today? It’s sunny, windy and warm. I go to meet my pen pal, a girl from Dalian, in the City Zoo. The zoo is between a supermarket and a library. My pen pal’s name is Lingling. She is thirteen years old and she wants to be an animal feeder（饲养员）. She loves animals very much. Now we are watching elephant shows. They are funny and clever. There are many people in the zoo. They like to see animals. A boy is feeding a koala. But the animal feeder stops him. We have a good time there.
