Hello! My name’s Jenny. I’m 14 years old. I have a good friend. Her name is Mary. Her Chinese name is Chen Mengjia. She is 13. Now she is in Beijing. She is also my classmate. We are in Class 2 Grade 7. She has a dog. It’s white and black. But she can’t find it now. It is lost. Please help her find it. If you find it, please call her at 457 8621. Thanks very much!

In Australia, National Tree Day is on the last Sunday in July. In China, Tree Planting Day is on 12^th March. Trees are very important in our life. Trees make our city beautiful. We can get a lot of things from trees. We get fruit from trees. We also get wood from trees. We use wood to make pencils, desks and chairs. We can use wood to make paper, too. Trees can keep the air clean. They can cool the air, too. So we should love trees. We should plant more trees. On Tree Planting Day, we can plant trees with our teachers and classmates. It is interesting!

Friendship between animals sometimes seems stronger than that between men.

In France, a man had to move to a new job two hundred kilometers away. He had a dog and a cat, and he loved them both. But he thought that the cat would like to stay in the same house with new owners. So he moved and took only the dog.

About three weeks later, the dog was suddenly lost. For several days, the man looked for his dog, but didn’t find him. Then, seven weeks later, the dog came back but he was not alone. By his side was the cat. They were tired and hungry after their long trip. And they never left each other again.

Another story is about goldfish. We usually think fish are cold-hearted, but sometimes we may be wrong. A friend had to work in another country. So I took her pet goldfish and put it in a bowl with mine. They two lived together for six months.

When the friend came back, she took her fish home. Then, I found my goldfish was acting strangely, hitting against the side of the bowl. The next morning, he died. Later that day, my friend phoned to say that her goldfish was also dead. I believe they died of sadness.
