Hello, boys and girls. My name is Tom Smith. Tom is my first name. Smith is my family name. I am a middle school student. I am in Class Seven, Grade Eight. This is my classroom. The desk in Row 3, Number 5 is mine. What’s that on my desk? It’s my pencil-box. It’s orange. What’s in it? A ruler, 2 pens and an eraser. It is my ruler. The ruler is blue and white. The yellow eraser is not mine. It’s Mike’s. The two pens, one is black, the other is green. They are Alice’s. I found them at the Lost and Found box. I will call Mike at 229-6746 and Alice at 733-6658. I have their phone numbers because they are my best friends.

I’m Kevin, a teenage student of Grade 9. I was born in Boston, but now I’m living with my family in New York. It’s been about 10 years since we moved here. So I’ve got quite a few friends around.

Most of my friends walk to school, but I like to ride my bike each day. I wake up at 7:00. After I wash my face and eat breakfast, I throw the school bag on my back. Do I have my books and homework? Yes, I do.

I take my bike, hop (跳) onto it and ride to school at 7:30. “See you later, mum,” I say. I pass my friends when I ride by. “Hi, Kevin!” they call when I pass. Mary does not want to ride with me. She does not like to wear a school bag. She likes to carry her books in her arms when she walks. She likes to kick the autumn leaves. But her favorite action is to look at the flowers along the way.

Not me! I like to ride my bike to feel the fresh air in my face. When I get to school, I lock my bike in the bicycle park. I walk across the field to say hi to Mr Brown and wait for my friends in our classroom.
