    Thanksgiving is a time to relax with family and friends. On this Thanksgiving, my family and I had a great 1 with our friends.

    My parents and I began cleaning and decorating(装饰) our house 2Thanksgiving. We decorated our house with some pretty 3. And they looked very bright. We also 4some nice napkins(餐巾) and plates for the Thanksgiving dinner.

We had an ordinary Thanksgiving dinner. Each of our guests brought one or two 5to the dinner. As the host, we were in charge of the turkey and the drinks. My mother 6 up early that day to prepare the turkey. My father and I helped place the stuffing(填料) inside 7.Our guests brought us many side dishes and desserts. They not only looked very good but also were very 8. I 9 the pumpkin pie baked by Mrs. Lee best. She told me that she 10 it with her secret family recipe(食谱).

    An ordinary Thanksgiving dinner allows everyone to help with the big one. My family and our friends all enjoyed it very much.

    I'm Fang Ming. On holidays my parents often take me to the zoo in our city because I like animals. I have a lot of toy animals in my room. In the zoo I can see tigers, elephants, monkeys, pandas, bears, giraffes and many other animals. Some animals are very friendly, but some are not. Tigers, bears and lions are very dangerous. That is why they have to stay in cages. But I don't think it's good for animals to stay in cages. They should be free. The animals in cages can't be happy.

    Tigers usually live in forests and mountains. They can run very fast. They catch and eat small animals like rabbits and deer, but now they live in small rooms. They have nothing to do every day. So they walk in the cages, and they want to get out. When they are tired, they sleep. I feel sorry for them.

    Today is Monday. My friends are talking about how they spend the last weekend.

    Mary: I stayed at home and studied at the weekend. I went over math on Saturday. On Sunday morning, I did my English homework. In the evening, I talked to my friend on the phone.

    Lucy: I had a great time. I visited my friends. On Saturday evening, we went to Nancy's birthday party. On Sunday afternoon, we went to a new park near my home.

    Lily: I had a boring weekend! I stayed at home. I cleaned my room. I helped my mother cook dinner.

    Tim: I stayed at home and watched TV. Yesterday I saw a movie. It was very interesting.

    I was born in Hainan. It is in the south of China. The weather there is different from that of other places of China. There is no winter in Hainan. It's not cold all year round. Many people go there in winter, because it's cold in the north of China. In summer, it's very hot. It's usually sunny, but it often rains. So people often take a pair of sunglasses and a raincoat at the same time. People can enjoy many kinds of fruits like bananas and coconuts.

    Hainan is a good place to go for holidays and have fun. People can go fishing, boating, swimming and so on. When we want to have a rest, we can walk on the beach and enjoy the fresh air and white clouds. It's so interesting. Would you like to go to Hainan?

Everyone gets angry. Many things may make you angry. Maybe your teacher gave you too much homework. Or maybe a friend borrowed your favorite video game and then broke it. You may get angry when something doesn't go your way. Maybe you get mad at yourself when your team loses an important game. Or maybe you become a road rager(路怒族) when a driver accidentally cuts in front of you. That makes you angry!

    You need to know what to do with(应对) your anger. Here are some things you can do when you feel angry:

●Count to 10.

●Get or give a hug.

●Talk to your best friend.

●Draw a picture of your anger.

●Sing along with the music player.

●Take some exercise, such as taking a bike ride, going skating and playing basketball.

    Never getting angry is impossible. But when you're angry, you can do something and it can make things better. Don't let anger be the boss of you. Be in control(控制) of it.

    When we buy a house, we all want to have nice neighbors, because most of us think that it is helpful to live with some good neighbors. But what kind of neighbor is good? The answers are different from people to people. Here are my answers.

    First, it is very important to respect (尊敬) each other. If our neighbors try to know more about our life, how will we feel? He or she may also talk with others about our life. Do you want to live with him or her any more? The answer is “No". We will feel very sad to have this kind of neighbor and move away quickly. .

    Next, a good neighbor is always ready to give us a hand when we need him or her. For example, if we are not at home, our good neighbors will watch our house for us.

    Finally, a good neighbor should love the environment (环境). He or she never puts rubbish (垃圾) here and there. Good neighbors should keep the place clean, because the good environment can make us comfortable and happy.

    I think we all should learn to be good neighbors, and I also hope everyone will have good neighbors and live a happy life.

    I want to be the class monitor. I get on well with everyone, classmates and (teacher). I work hard and do (good) at school. I'm kind and I'm always ready help others.

    I also enjoy sports and I can run fast and I'm very (health). Just watch me in the playground between (lesson). I can get best score in every match.

    And I (real) like a clean and tidy house. I often help my mother do (clean) at home. I'm sure everyone would like a clean classroom, just home!

    Choose me as your class monito I promise to help you!

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that is why it's called present!
