Mark Twain was a great American writer. He was very busy, and he often forgot things.

One day, he went to a city by train. He wanted to see one of his friends there. When he was on the train, the conductor(检票员) asked him for his ticket(票), but he couldn’t find the ticket. The conductor knew Mark Twain. She said, “Show me your ticket on your way back. If you can’t find it, it doesn’t matter.”

“Oh, it does,” said Mark Twain. “I must find the ticket. If I can’t find it, how can I know where I’m going?”

I got a postcard from China on my birthday. It is very beautiful. The postcard is about the Great Wall. It’s from my pen friend Daming. The Great Wall is very famous in the world. When I was five years old，I went to China with my parents and I visited the Great Wall. Now I think it is more beautiful than before. The Great Wall is more than twenty thousand kilometres long. People from all over the world go to China to visit it. I want to visit the Great Wall again.

China is very big and beautiful. There are lots of places to go in China. Kunming is a beautiful city in Yunnan. It’s in the south of China. It’s got more than eight million people. The weather in Kunming is very nice. It’s not very hot in summer. Many people like to live in it. There is beautiful lake in Kunming. It’s the Dianchi Lake. We can also eat lots of delicious food there. Lijiang is another beautiful city in Yunnan. There is a famous mountain in Lijiang. It’s the Yulong Snow Mountain. It’s about seventy-five kilometres long. Many people go there in winter to see the snow.

A train stops at a station (车站). A young man wants to come out, but it is raining. A boy is standing under a big umbrella. The young man says to the boy, “Can you go and get us two hamburgers, one for you and one for me? Here are two dollars.” “Great!” say the boy and he goes to buy hamburgers. After some time, the boy is back. He is eating a hamburger.“Where is my hamburger?” asks the young man. “Oh, there is only one hamburger left. So I’m eating mine. Here is your dollar.”

The summer holiday is coming. The students in Class One are talking about their holiday. Peter is going to go back to England to see his parents. Liu Xing is going to go to Tibet（西藏） to visit his aunt. Cindy is going to learn to swim during the summer holiday. Lucy and Lily are twins（双胞胎）. They are going to Beijing with their parents. There are many famous places in Beijing, such as the Summer Palace and Beihai Park. Everyone has a good plan.

I hope you like this photo. On it you can see a nature park, it's a famous place in this town. Lots of people come here on weekends, they go for a walk, play games, take photos of the beautiful flowers and green plants. There is a big lake in the park, some people row boats on the lake, sometimes I can see some ducks swimming there. There is a white bridge over the lake, it's one hundred metres long and fifty years old. I like standing on the bridge and looking at the ducks.

Yours,

Fred likes fish very much. One day, he buys(买)some fish and takes it home. His son sees the fish and says to himself, “Very good! I can ask my friends to have it for lunch.”

The next day （第二天）, Fred comes home in the evening. The fish isn’t there. His son says, “Oh, dad, your cat eats the fish.” Fred gets angry (生气). He takes the cat and his son to the shop and weighs (称) the cat. Then he says, “Little boy, my fish weighs one kilo, and the cat weighs one kilo too. My fish is here, then where is my cat?”
