But a home is a house full of people with their favourite rooms. For example, my favourite room is my bedroom. It has all of my things in it. My mum likes reading in the comfortable armchair in the living room. Jasper, the cat, lies under her feet. My sister Sally spends a lot of time in the garden! It's her favorite place. And my dad can cook really well so he's usually in the kitchen.

When I am away from home, I sometimes feel homesick. I miss all my things, and everyday family activities. Our house is noisy in the morning before work or school. Then, when I get back in the evening, Jasper jumps on me with his dirty feet and there is a fantastic smell of my dad's cooking.

So home is the people and animals living in a house, and the things in the room that are special to us. It's the activities we do, our feelings and the relaxing environment. But home is also the community. I often help neighbors and they look after Jasper when we are away. And sometimes there's a big party with all the neighbors. That's what is home for me.

First, the weather must be fine. Fine weather is very important for a happy hike. If the weather is fine, you can do a lot of things, like riding bikes and swimming in the river.

Second, go with the people you like. If you go hiking with the people you don't like, you won't have a great time during the trip and you even feel bored.

Third, find the right place. Different people have different ideas about the places. For me, I would like to go for a hike at the seaside. The waves and breezes make it a great way to relax.

Lastly, prepare well before going hiking. To have a nice hike, you must have comfortable shoes, and take enough water and some food to keep you from getting thirsty and hungry.

② New Baby Brother

I was sitting in the classroom when I heard the news.

"Your baby brother is born, and wants to see you!"

Dad got me from school and to the hospital with no delay.

Hurrying on our journey, he almost forgot the way!

My brother's hands were tiny, wrinkly and soft, like a prune.

After he smiled at me, Mom said, "He'll come home soon!"

Everyone "oohing" and "aahing", they said "He is so sweet.

And one day he'll walk around on those little baby feet!"
