—We played games and enjoyed       very much.

This kind of thing often in our class.

    A woman was collecting money for a church charity. The money she collected was going to be given to poor children who had no parents to take care of them. She went from apartment to apartment and from house to house. She knocked on doors and asked for money. She always said the same thing, "Good morning, I'm collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000." Then she held out a collecting box. Most people put a few coins in the box.

    An artist lived in one of the apartments. He opened the door. "Good morning," she said. "I'm collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000." The artist thought for a moment, then he said, "I'm sorry, but I don't have any money. However, I'll give you a painting. It's worth $ 400." The woman thanked the artist and took the painting away.

    A week later she called on him again. "I'm sorry to trouble you again," she said, "but we still need more money. We need another $100. Can you help?" "Of course," the artist said. "I`ll increase the value of my painting to $500."

    An old woman walked into a clothes shop between a cinema and a bank. She asked the salesgirl to let her have a look at the new dress. However, the girl didn't say a word. She just stood there. The old woman asked the girl to show her the new dress again. But she said nothing. The old woman smiled. She looked at the girl and said to herself, "I am too old to see well. I don't know who is a model girl and who is a real girl." When the salesgirl heard that, she shouted at the old woman, "What? Did you call me a model girl?" The old woman was very surprised. She said "Oh, dear. What a surprise! The model can speak."

    Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying “Friends are God's way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子） and take care of it to make it grow.

    First, you should choose a friend. What good friends should you make? It's not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complains and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you can not be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things cannot always be happy. Even the best have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you could write a letter.

    There are three steps to being friends again:

    Tell him or her how you are feeling ; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
