Four girls were at the same school. They were good friends, so they often studied and played together. They went to school every day by taxi.

One day one of the girls said, “There is a test this morning. Let’s go to school late. Then we won’t have to take the test.” “What can we tell the teacher?” One of the girls said. “He’ll be angry. We’ll need a good excuse.”

The girls thought for several moments, then one of them said, “Let’s tell him that our taxi had a flat tire(爆胎).” “That’s a good idea,” the other girls said. “We’ll tell him that.”

They arrived at school an hour later. The test was finished.

“Why are you late?” the teacher asked. “You miss the test.” “Our taxi had a flat tire,” one of the girls said.

The teacher thought for a moment, then he said, “Sit down, one of you in each corner of the room.” The four girls did this. Then the teacher said, “Write the answer to this question on a piece of paper: Which tire was flat?”

My name is Rachel. I am a student in Toronto, Canada. It is the second largest country in size in the world.

Every day my brother Andrew and I go to school at 9:00.I dislike getting up at 8:00 in the morning! When we finally get up, we need to eat breakfast quickly at home and walk to school.

At school we learn English and French, because Canadian speak English and French. Of course, we also learn history, art, science and math.

My brother’s favourite sport is football. But I can’t play football at school—there is no grassy area on the playground.

    School ends at 3:30 Andrew and I walk back home. I have to do a lot of homework first. After dinner I can relax. My favorite hobby is going for a boat-ride with dad. Sometimes I go to the park. I hope you can enjoy learning about my life.

Dear Peter,

       How about your study? It's Sunday today. I'm writing to you. I'm going to tell you about some things in Beijing.

      Beijing is different* from London*. In our country, we drive on the left side* of the road, but here people drive on the right side. Most people go to work by bus or by bike. The rush hours* are from seven to nine in the morning and from five to seven in the afternoon. People in China work around eight hours a day, five days a week. They usually begin to work at eight in the morning, and rest on Saturday and Sunday.

     I have Chinese classes every morning from Monday to Friday. The students in our class are from many countries. We're all working hard and friendly. The Chinese students are helpful. They often help us with our Chinese. We also help them a lot with their English. We're getting along very well.

       That's all for today. Please write to me soon.

　　Our class is a big one. There are forty-five students in it. Thirty of us are boys. Twenty of us are Chinese. The others are from England, the USA, Canada, and Australia. We Chinese students are good at Chinese and those from the English-speaking countries are good at English. We often help them to learn Chinese, and they help us with our English. We are good friends.

　　We Chinese students live near our school and many of us come to school by bike or on foot. But our friends from different countries walk to school. They do not live with their parents’. They live in a. students' building outside the school. Their parents come to China to work, so they live near their factories. On Friday afternoon all our foreign friends go to their parents'. They stay with their parents for two days a week.

　　Next Saturday we are going to work on the farm. They like to go with us. So they are not going to their parents'. They are going to have fun working on the farm. Going to the farm and picking apples for the

farmers can make us happier!
