My Favourite Present

I'm Tom. My favourite present is a pen from my grandfather. I got it in my birthday party two years ago. My grandfather wanted me to work hard, so he gave the pen to me.

It is a black pen, and it is used very well. It helps me with my study a lot. I do my homework with it, and I take examinations with it, too. When I see the pen, I will think of my grandfather. I know he cares about me very much, and I also love him. I will always work hard with the pen.

Tom's mother is in the shopping mall now. She buys a dress for herself. It is not cheap. It costs her $150. She buys new backpack for Tom. It is $40. Tom's father needs a new shirt. There are many kinds of shirts. Tom's mother can't make up her mind. So she calls Tom's father and asks,"What color do you prefer?" "I prefer light blue," Tom's father answers. It costs her $70.

In March 2020, sixteen elephants left their home in Xishuangbanna and went north. They traveled for seventeen months. Sometimes they made trouble (麻烦).They ran into villages and ate farmers’ corn (玉米). But no one blamed (责怪) them. “It is OK. They’re hungry,” a farmer said. The elephants also brought many surprises. They had two babies on the way. The babies are big and strong now. To help the elephants get home, the police and experts (专家) closely watched them. They also guided (引导) the elephants with food and drink. In August 2021, the elephants ended their trip safely and happily. They went back home!

On October 16, 2021, Shenzhou XIII carried three Chinese astronauts (宇航员) into space (太空). They are Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu. They will live and work in Tiangong’s core module (核心舱), Tianhe, for six months. During their stay, they have many things to do. They will do scientific experiments (科学实验) and spacewalks.

On November 7, 2021, Wang Yaping became China’s first woman to walk in space! “I feel great!” Wang said when she came out of Tiangong space station. Wang, 41, together with astronaut Zhai Zhigang, had a 6.5-hour spacewalk. Wang also became a “space teacher” and gave a lesson to students on Earth.

One other special thing is that the astronauts will spend the Spring Festival in space for the first time. What will they do? We can see them on TV later and find out!
