It was a Sunday morning. Matt didn't go to school today,1he still got up early. He wanted to make2cake for a special friend.
Matt had a quick breakfast and then he started to make the cake3his Dad in the kitchen. They worked for about two hours. At last, Dad helped Matt take the cake out of the oven(烤箱)and they put it on the table to cool. I think this must be4cake in the world. It's the best in my heart.
The cake is done, and it's still early. Let's clean up the leaves in the garden, "Dad said.
Matt and Dad went outside quickly. There were lots of leaves in the garden!5, they found a big brown bag and it could collect all the leaves. Then they spent another two hours in6the garden.
It was lunchtime. When Matt7back into the kitchen, the cake was gone. He wondered where the cake8be. He looked all around. He saw some crumbs(碎屑)on the floor. He decided9the crumbs. He went to the living room, the garden, and then the street. At last he saw his dog, Dusty, with crumbs on its nose.
"You ate up the cake! It's for10, anyway, "Matt said to Dusty. "Happy birthday, Dusty!"
In September, my family and I will leave Britain to travel around the world. We1planning the trip in January, and we will be back next June. We will travel for about 10 months and plan to220 countries.
People often have to leave their work to have a trip,3my parents will never do that. They have a4shop. They plan to find someone to help them5all the animals there. But I'll have to do my homework. Mom says we can go online(上网)in most places, so I'll just email my homework to my6.
We have to decide what we need to take. We can't take too many nice clothes and different pairs of shoes, but I know I must take my7pillow(枕头). If I have it, I can8anywhere. Of course, we can't take our cat and I know I will9her. But I'm sure she'll play10with my grandparents. Also, I'll often talk to my friends online. And I will tell them what I see and hear.

Thomas was worried. Spring holiday was coming, but he didn't know what to do. Where would he go? Who would he see? What would he do? He didn't have much money, so he couldn't do a lot. Should he go to an amusement park(游乐场)? Should he try to get a cheap plane ticket to visit his grandma? Should he go out to have fun with friends? It was so hard to decide. He sat down and wrote down the things he could do. Then he thought about the good and bad parts of each idea. After that, he tried to see the price of each choice(选择). Amusement park: GOOD: fun; exciting; good for taking photos; not far away BAD: only one day; not cheap; hot outside COST(费用): $75-$100 Fly to see Grandma: GOOD: grandma's cooking; fun; stay there for a few days BAD: not very exciting; plane ride can be long; expensive COST: $200-$300 Go out with friend: GOOD: fun to see friends: can be cheap; every day is different BAD: can only do that on the weekend; can't go anywhere special COST: $ 0-$50 When he finished writing, the choice was clear. He'd go to the amusement park first, but he shouldn't spend too much money there. Then, he'd call his grandma and see if he could visit her in summer. After that he'd go out with his friends for a few days. He was sure he would have a great spring holiday. |

When we arrived, it started to.We took out our umbrellas and climbed the mountainthe rain. There are manybetween a rainy day and a sunny day. Thewere hiding(隐藏 )in the trees, without singing. The trees on the mountain and buildings at the foot of the mountain looked so clean and fresh. I enjoyed watchingin the soft rain, and so did my family. When we got to the top of the mountain, the rainand the sun came out. We saw lots of people there. Everyone looked happy. It seemed they had a great time, too. After walking so long, we felt. So we took out the food and drinks and had a picnic. Before we wenthome, we took many beautiful photos. What a wonderful day we had!
Would you like to shop online rather than(而不是)go to the stores? Do you always go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning?
A study was made to find out how lazy British people are. About 2, 000 people took part in this study. The results are surprising.
More than half of people are so lazy that they'd wait for the lift for a long time rather than walk to the second floor.
About seventeen percent said if their remote control(遥控器)was broken, they would go on watching the same TV show rather than get up.
More than thirty percent said they would not run to catch a bus.
So it's no wonder that seventeen percent of children in the UK are fat before they start school.
Dr. Sarah Dauncey said. People need to get healthier for themselves and their families.
How can we keep healthy? We should get into a good habit first.
