My dream 

“Time for bed,” said Mom. I climbed into bed and closed my eyes.

I flew up to the moon.

I sat on a star.

I rode on a big blue bird.

I landed on a chocolate house.

Learning Discipline

      Tom is a boy who lives in the city. He frequently becomes angry when he is hungry. His parents feed him many times a day to keep him happy. Before he goes to bed at night, his mother has to cook an extra meal for him. Tom is getting very fat and lazy. He does not even go to school anymore. Tom’s parents are sad. They don’t know what to do. Finally they decide to send him to his aunt and uncle’s farm in a small village.

      “I hate this place. I am hungry. Give me food,” Tom yells.

      His aunt replies, “On the farm, you must work to get food. You can grow your own vegetables and raise your own chickens. Your cousin, Joe, can help you.”

      Tom does not like this and he yells at Joe. Joe gets up early every morning to water vegetables and feed the chickens before he goes to school. Tom looks at Joe and starts to cry. No one listens to him.

Great help 

John is a nice young man, and he loves to help people. When he sees someone needs help, he will give that person a hand.

One day, on his way home, he saw an old lady standing on the corner of the street, and she was looking around. John thought, ” She must need someone to help her to cross the road.” Therefore, he went to the old lady and said, “Look out! No need to put yourself in danger. Let me help you cross the road.” 

“No, I just…” the old lady wanted to say something, but John didn’t listen.

“Don’t worry, you can count on me. The light’s green now, let’s go.” John then helped her cross the road.

Playing Basketball 

There are many sports that people play. There are soccer, football, basketball, and golf. My favorite sport is basketball. It is the funnest sport of all.

I watch an NBA basketball game every Friday night. My brother and I yell, “YEAH!” when our favorite team wins. It is so much fun to watch the basketball players. When I’m not watching the game, I’m always thinking of playing basketball. When my teacher Mrs. Lu raises her left arm to point at an object on the board, I imagine that she is shooting a three-point shot.

My dad loves basketball, too. He bought tickets to an NBA basketball game and tool my brother and me to it. It was the best experience of my life. The crowd was very loud. Even I was yelling and cheering very loud. Also, my eyes were wide open for the entire game. They were very dry afterwards. I saw one of the players make shots and score many points.

My Dog Ate My Homework

“Good morning students,” said Mr. Wang, his English teacher. “Did everyone do their homework yesterday?”

“Yes, Mr. Wang,” said everyone…except Jimmy.

“Please bring your homework to me.” Everyone was getting up and giving him their papers…except Jimmy.

The Boy And The Wolf 

Once there was a shepherd boy who looked after a flock of sheep on a hillside. He was young and there were wolves in the area. So his kind neighbors promised to come to his help if he saw a wolf. All he had to do was to shout “Wolf!” loudly and they would come to help him.

One day, the boy shouted “Wolf!” just for fun. All his neighbors came rushing to his help. They were very angry with him when they found there was no wolf.

The next morning, the boy again shouted “Wolf!” even though there was no wolf. Again the neighbors came. They were even angrier when they found there was no wolf.
