On weekends, I don't need to go to school. I often go to 1 my grandfather, and he lives in a small town.
It is a long way 2 my home to his home. Mick and Ted go with me. They are my cousins. We ride our bikes there! We like 3 a lot. We start at nine o'clock in the morning. We 4 a lot of food and drinks with us—bread, milk, eggs and juice, so we can eat 5 on the way. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, we arrive at the town 6 . My grandfather is very 7 to see us. There is a park near his home, so he takes us to the 8 and we take a walk there. We 9 with my grandfather in the park. The next day, we ride back home. We are tired 10 very happy.
My name is Sally Brown, an American girl. Here is a picture of my family. The girl in a purple jacket is my sister Anna. She is 20, but she isn't in the US now. She studies (学习) in Beijing, China. The boy next to her is in a red hat. He is my brother Paul. And he is 8.

Help in the garden
Where can you see some of the most beautiful gardens in the world? The UK!
Every spring, there is the Chelsea Flower Show in London. It is one of the most popular garden and flower shows in the world. People show off their creativity with trees and flowers.
But you don't have to be an expert to garden. Anyone can do it. This is why in Britain helping with the gardening is popular with kids.
As a child my dad was the "master" of the garden. He often asked me to help him with the outdoor work. He would mow the lawn as I watered the trees and plants.
Gardening is more interesting than indoor housework. It is relaxing as you hear the birds sing. It is also great to see flowers grow from a small seed into a big plant. This teaches kids patience and dedication: two useful skills for life.
Eat According to Your Blood Typeby Eric Carle Dr. Carle believes that the food people eat has some chemical relationship with their blood types. If people follow a diet according to their blood types, they will get more energy, become healthier, and even lose weight. ◆ Blood Type O People with blood type O can digest meat and vegetables well. They should eat more beef, chicken, and fish if they want to lose weight. However, only eating rice and beans isn't helpful to them at all. ◆ Blood Type A People with blood type A should eat more fruit and vegetables if they want to lose weight. Meat isn't digested easily in their bodies, so they should eat less meat. ◆ Blood Type B People with blood type B should eat fewer noodles because they easily make them fat. Meat, milk and vegetables are good for them to lose weight. ◆ Blood Type AB About 9% of the people around the world have blood type AB．The number is much lower than types A, B, and O. It is healthier for them to eat vegetables, fruit and eggs to go on a diet but they should eat less meat. |
In our school, there is a long break (休息) between the second class and the third class in the morning.
Look! Many of us are playing during the break 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 (尽力) to stop him. They are so cool. And there are some girls watching the game. Some students are in the classroom. They are talking. Some 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 think of something interesting because she is smiling (微笑).
What are the teachers doing? Well, some of them are working in the office, and some are talking with students. Everyone is busy with his or her things. Busy but happy!
