I have a cat. She is black and white. Her name is Kitty. She has a long tail and small ears. Her tail is black, but her ears are white. She has a basket. She sleeps in the basket. She gets up in the evening. She goes out at night. She catches mice at night. She likes fish and milk. She eats fish and drinks milk every day. She doesn’t like dogs, and they do not like her, either. Kitty likes me and I like her. I often play with her after school.

Mr. Chen is only twenty-five. He is tall and strong, and he has black, short hair. That makes him look very clean. He likes students and his teaching work. From Saturday to Sunday he gives the students classes. There’s a lot of fun in his class. The students often talk about the funny things with him after school. On Tuesday, he goes home by bus and stays with his parents. He likes watching movies. Sometimes he goes to the cinema for some new movies. He comes back to school on Wednesday afternoon. He’s a nice teacher. We like him very much.

Uncle Wang works in a book shop in the middle of the city. The shop is not far (远) from his home. It is about one  kilometer (公里) away. So Uncle Wang seldom (很少) goes to work by bus. He usually goes there by bike, sometimes on foot. It takes  (花费) him twenty minutes to get there by bike and forty minutes on foot. His work starts at half past eight in the morning and finishes at a quarter to five in the afternoon.

Last Monday，his bike was broken (坏了). He wanted to walk there. He had breakfast at home. He left(离开) home at ten to eight and he walked to work twenty minutes earlier(更早).

Julia wishes she could draw well. She wishes she could draw circles, nice faces, trees and houses. But she can’t draw anything right. All of her pictures are a mess. Julia doesn’t like her drawings.

Julia can’t draw circles. They look like eggs. She can’t draw trees. They look like mashed potatoes sitting on a stick. She can’t draw houses. They look like bottles of ketchup.

Julia doesn’t know what to do. She doesn’t want to give up, but her pictures are awful. Julia tries a sharp new pencil. Her circles still look like eggs. Julia takes a piece of green paper. Now her trees look like green mashed potatoes.

Julia is ready to give up. Then she picks up her pencil and draws a frowning face with her left hand. The face is neat and round. She doesn’t have to give up drawing. She just has to draw with her left hand. Then she draws her cat on a clean piece of paper. Her picture is perfect.

One day, a dog sees a big bone when he walks in the woods. On his way home, he meets an owl. The dog shows off his bone, “I bet you’ve never seen a bone this big.” The dog sees his reflection in the river. “Look! That dog has a bigger bone. I want that bone too.” The dog barks at his reflection in the river. “Give me your bone!” The dog jumps at his reflection in the river. “Where’s that dog? Where’s his bone? Where’s my bone?” The dog finds nothing in the river. “Next time, be happy with what you have.” The owl says. The dog learns his lesson.
