Hello，I am Mary. I'm a student in Green school. There are lots of rules in1 school.
I think some of them are acceptable（可接受的）. For example，we can't arrive2 for school. We can't run in the hallways. We can't talk or eat in class，3 . We must4 our classmates. We should help each other. We must do our homework5 .
But some rules are not good. For example，we have to6 sports shoes in P. E. class. We can't7 music in art class. Mary thinks it can make her feel8 .
Mary also has to follow some rules at home. For example，she has to do her homework，she can't watch TV9 school nights. And she can't go out with her friends. She also has to clean her room every week.
Do you have so10 rules at home or at school. Can you tell me about them？

I'm Peter. Yesterday was Saturday. We were very happy. Because my father took us to the zoo. We left home at 9：00 a. m.
After half an hour's drive，we got to the zoo. Lots of people were there. My father bought four tickets（票） and then we walked into the zoo. First，we took a small bus to the beast area（野兽区），we got on a small train，it could take us to see many kinds of animals and we didn't feel tired. We saw lions，tigers，bears and so on.
After the train road，we walked down the zoo and saw many other animals，such as pandas，giraffes，elephants and koalas. My favorite animals are monkeys. They are very cute. My father used his camera to take lots of photos for us.
At about 1：00 p. m. We had lunch at the zoo. After lunch，we went home，but I wanted to go back to see the animals again. It was a wonderful day.
