Be quiet

    It is a rainy Day. Bill and Amy are at home. They are making a cake for their parents. Dad is writing a letter (信).

    Mum is working. "There is big noise. Dad and Mum can't work." They say, "Please be quiet. Please go to your room." Now Bill and Amy are in their room. Oh, Bill is playing the violin. Amy is playing the flute. The noise is bigger (更大了).

    Their parents can't work. So they say, "Go and make a cake instead."

    The clock has a round face with numbers on it. And it has two hands, a long hand and a short hand. The short hand points to the hours, the long hand points to the minutes. Some clocks have three hands, a long one, a short one and a very short one. And the longest one points to the seconds.

    We can tell the time by a clock. A clock is big. It is generally on the wall or it stands on the table. Some clocks are very big. For example, the biggest one in the world- Big Ben, the clock on the houses of Parliament in London, its minute hand is fourteen feet long, and the hour hand is nine feet long.
