Dear Classmate:

My name is Bob. I live in Toronto, Canada. I want to make a Chinese pen pal. I think China is a very interesting country. I am 14 years old and was born in November. I speak English and a little French. I have a brother named Paul and a sister named Sarah. They have pen pals in England and Australia. I like watching movies and playing sports with my friends. My favorite part in school is physical education. It's very interesting. But I don't like math. He is so difficult!

Can you write me back as soon as possible?

Bob

Bridge Street is a great place to have fun. This is a very busy street. You can play guitar in the park. It's there. Between the hotel and the post office. If you are hungry, you can buy something to eat at the supermarket, which is opposite the post office.

Yesterday, I asked ten students in No. 3 Middle School what they did during the three weekends. For most children, weekends are happy. On Saturday morning, ten children were doing homework and studying. On Saturday afternoon, five children went shopping and three children went to the library. The two children also went to play computer games. On Sunday night, the seven children went to the movies or stayed home and watched TV. On Sunday, two children visited their friends, nine children went to their rooms and five children went to play sports.

Do you think everyone enjoys their weekends? Old Henry does not. Last month, he went for a walk with Wangwang, his cute dog. It was a nice day and old Henry was happy. He sat down and watched Wangwang play with a friendly black cat.

Then it was time to go home. Old Henry looked for his dog. But Wangwang was not there…….

Now old Henry is very sad. He has no dog and no family. He does not want to do anything.

What a beautiful day! It was sunny and hot all day. We went to a beautiful beach. We had a lot of fun in the water. In the afternoon, we went shopping. The shops were very crowded so we had a great time.

Tuesday, July 16

It rained today, so we went to a museum. It's a bit boring. I found a little boy crying in the corner. He was lost and I helped him find his dad. That makes me happy. I didn't have money to take a taxi, so I walked back to the hotel. I'm really tired.

Wednesday, July 17

The weather was cool today, so we decided to play tennis. We played all morning and it was a lot of fun. We had Sichuan food for dinner and it was delicious!

This week, I asked my classmates about fashion. I showed six items to each classmate and asked them what they thought of each item. Some of their answers were interesting. Here’s what they liked and didn’t like.

Julie Smith loves keychains. Her friend Jeff said his hijab couldn't stand it. "That's what moms use," he said. William Jones loved wallets. And his classmate Gina Taylor likes watches very much. (His best friend Ann Rice doesn't care about watches, but she likes sunglasses!) Jerry Green also likes sunglasses.

The coolest item is the belt. Everyone loves it!

Page 70 3:

I can't stand the idea that old people can't be beautiful. So I like rings, scarves, sunglasses. I wear colorful clothes because I want to feel young and beautiful. I like good words about my appearance and I don't mind what young people think of me.

Dear Doctor Know-how,

I am not happy. There are too many house rules in my house. I had to get up at 6 o'clock every morning. I can't see my friends after school because I have to do my homework. I can't watch TV on school nights. I have to go to bed at 10 o'clock. On weekends, I have to clean and do laundry. Then I have to help my mother cook. Then I had to go to the Children's Palace to learn piano. I've never been happier.

what do I do?

I wish you progress in your studies and reach a higher level! (*^__^*)……
