    Charlie and his family don't always live in their house. Sometimes they live in a houseboat. There are 4 rooms in the bottom of the boat. One of them is his parents' bedroom. Another one is his bedroom. Then there is a kitchen and a bathroom. Charlie's bedroom is small, but he likes it very much. It has a small window. He doesn't open it because it's under the water. When the boat is in the water, Charlie can look out of his window and see many fish under the water. Once he saw an old car under the water. He thought it was funny to see the fish swim through the car windows.

    In the school year, Charlie's family keep their boat on the bank (岸) of the lake. In summer Charlie and his family often take their boat out to the middle of the lake. They stay on the lake for a few weeks. Then they go fishing for their food. Charlie's mother grows vegetables in pots on the boat, so they also have vegetables to eat. When it is very hot, they jump into the water and go swimming. Charlie thinks a houseboat is the best place to live in.

    Twenty years ago, my father, John, wanted to be a businessman. He wanted to be rich. So he worked very hard and every day he went home very late.

    One night when he came home from work, a robber stopped him and wanted to take his money. My father was very afraid. He didn't want to lose his money. But he didn't know what to do. Luckily a policeman came and caught the robber. My father thanked the policeman politely.

    Now my father is a policeman. He wants to help other people.

    In England, people often talk about the weather because you can experience four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour 1 black clouds come, and then it rains hard. The weather gets 2 cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be clear, the sun will begin to shine and it will be summer at this time of a day.

    In England, you can also have summer in winter, 3 have winter in summer. So in 4 you can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes you should wear warm clothes.

    When you go to England, you will see some English people take umbrellas or rain-coats with them on the 5 morning, but you shouldn't laugh at them. If you don't take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret later in the day.

    In Britain students have two hours of P.E. each week. P.E. includes sit-ups, press-ups (俯卧撑) and skipping rope.

    Students also pfootball, basketball and cross-country running. In summer kids run and do the high and long jumps.

    When I was at school my favourite was trampoline(蹦床). Jumping high into the air always made me excited. But you need to be c. Sometimes you don't land where you planned!
