    We are going to have a party in our house this evening. It is mybirthday, and she hasmy uncles and aunts and some of her. Mother and I areto cook most of the food for the party, and Father is getting the drinks ready. The living room looks very pretty. Balloons of all colors are hanging from the lightswe have taken the carpets awaywe are going to dance there after dinner.

    In the dining room we haveout the best plates, glasses and tablecloths, and it looks. We are going to have soup, fish, chicken, fruits and cheese. We are going to dancemidnight, and after that, we will havefood, because we will be hungry after all that dancing.

    Last year my motherher birthday party in a restaurant,it is more pleasant andat home.

    When it is my birthday, I am going to invite my friends and have a party in the garden. I will hang colorful lightsthe trees, and we will grill (烧烤)our food in the garden and dancethe grass.

    When I was in primary school, Miss Green told us a story in an English class. Through the story, she wanted to tell us that there is always a solution(解决方法) to every problem. I kept that in mind.

    One day, when I returned home, I found that my father was unhappy. When I asked him why, He told me that he lost his watch when he was working in the garden. He had looked for it everywhere but couldn't find it. He had also asked my two elder brothers to help, but they failed too.

    That watch was very important to my father because it was a gift from my late(已故的) grandfather. “Don't worry, Dad. I'll help you find it,” I said. But my father didn't believe it .After all, they all had failed to find it. He said, “Well, if you find it, I'll give you 20 dollars.” “OK, Just wait,” I said and then went to the garden.

    Suddenly, I thought of the story that Miss Green had told us. But how could I find the watch? I started thinking and thinking, Then I remembered that the watch ticked(发出滴答声). But the ticking was hard to hear. I decided not to look here and there as they did. Instead, I put my ear on the ground. And ten minutes later, I found the watch.

    My father and brothers couldn't believe their eyes. They thought I was really lucky. But I shook my head, saying, "No, It wasn't good luck. I just thought before I took action(行动)."

    There is always a solution to every problem. Just think before you take action.

    We have a day off tomorrow, so my friend David and I will go to Workers' Cinema to see the movie Frozen. Workers' Cinema is a new cinema. It's very big and very clean. It is also very tall, as it has six floors in it. There are five small projection rooms(放映室) on the upper floors and a large one on the ground floor. It always has very friendly service, and they always show new films, such as Frozen and Captain America, and the tickets are not too expensive. I think it is really one of the best cinemas in Beijing.

    If you have time to see a movie, don't forget to go to Beijing Workers' Cinema.

    Most people have ambitions (夙愿). A student's ambition, for example, might be to pass his or her exams and then get a good job. A businessman's ambition is usually to make a lot of money.

    However, not all ambitions are about success at work. Some people just want to be good people, have a family or help others.

    Ben's ambition is to be a sports writer. He likes sports most, and swimming and football are his favorites. Trudy's ambition is to be a concert pianist. She is very serious about it and practices every day with her best friend Lily.

    Harry's ambition changes every day! One day he wants to be an astronaut (宇航员). Next day he wants to be pop singer. His mother will be happy if his ambition is to get up in time for school every day!

    English is the first language of several countries. However, it has many differences. British, American, and South African English are all spoken differently. In many English language courses, the British and American differences are taught. There are important differences between the two.

    Probably the biggest difference between American and British English is the vocabulary. Different words and expressions are used to talk about the same thing. For example, in the United States, people throw their garbage into the trash can. In England, people throw their rubbish into the dustbin. In Britain, people take a lift to the fifth floor. In America, people take an elevator.

    American and British grammar can be also different. For example, speakers of British English will ask "What did you do at the weekend?", but Americans usually say "on the weekend." In the United States people usually say "I've gotten a new car.", but in the UK they will say "I've just got a new car."

    The pronunciation in American and British English is also different, even when the spelling is the same. The word "tomato"—pronounced "to-mah-to" in British English—is a classic example of this.Vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are three ways English is different in different parts of the world.

    Learning all these is not easy, so English learners should just know that they are always there.

Healthy Eating

    Healthy eating is important for us. What and how should we eat to be healthy?

    First, we must have enough food, never too much or too little. The food must be clean and we should cook it properly.

    Second, it's very important for us to keep a balanced diet. Different kinds of foods are necessary, such as rice, bread, meat, fish, eggs, milk, fruit and vegetables. Rice and bread give us energy. Meat, fish, eggs and milk help our bones grow. Fruit and vegetables make us healthy.

    Third, we should eat regularly. It's said that half of the students don't have a regular breakfast or don't eat anything in the morning. It is bad for their health. In fact, a good breakfast keeps us strong.

    In short, we should not only eat enough food and healthy food but also eat regularly.
