描述自己的生日

　　Today is my birthday and I'm so excited about it. In the morning I put a note on the table for my mum and it said,” Today is my birthday, don’t forget it!” At school, I got many gifts and cards for my classmates and had a lot of fun. But I was still expecting the birthday party after school.

　　When it was time to leave school I couldn't wait to go home. When I open the door, there wasn't anybody in the house. There was only a note that said,” Coming home late tonight, mum and dad.” I try to call them but there was no answer. I was so shocked, do they forget my birthday? How could this be! I was so sad that I couldn't eat anything. I just did my homework and waited for them.

　　And then, things changed completely. It was about time for dinner; my mother called and told me to go to the restaurant near our house. When I got there I couldn't believed my eyes. Everybody was there: my parents, my relatives, my friends and even my classmates. There were so many gifts and a big cake. What a surprising birthday party! We had a good time and it was the best birthday party ever.

　　Having fun at the zoo

　　I went to the Mud Zhan zoo with my friends last Sunday. It is on the road to Mud Zhan in Taipei. It took us about forty minutes to get there by MRT.There was a big McDonald’s near by the zoo. There was so many people that it took us some time to buy the tickets. Around the entrance there were many vendors they were selling toys and puppets. We took a look at these vendors and then went inside the zoo.

　　There were many sections in the zoo, like bird world, the animal area, the penguin house and the koala house. We just follow the crowd and watched those cute animals. Some animals were cute and funny, such as the parrots: and some others were lazy, like hippos. It was the sunny day so we were takes a rest under the tree when it was too hot. After we visited all the sections I like all of the animals in the zoo except for some crazy monkeys.

　　I was most in priced by the nocturnal animal house. I usually enjoyed watching those animals because I thought they were cool and beautiful, like the owls. Another reason I like the nocturnal animal house is because it was cool in the house, but everything was a little smelling. We left the zoo in the evening and were still a lot of people outside the zoo. I hope I can come back soon because I think this is a really fun place.

　　My wish

　　I have no other wish except to be an English teacher. This is the only dream I have because I think being an English teacher is very cool. I can speak to foreign people smoothly and read English books and caricature easily. I can see English movies and some albums without titles.

　　There is another reason why I want to be an English teacher. My first English teacher was Mr. GAO in my primary school. I never went to an English class before in primary school so I was not as good as my classmates. But he always encourages me and helps me a lot. He always smiled at me and said,” Don’t worry. I believe you can be better.” So every time when I am too lazy to study English I remember what he said to me and keep on studying.

　　Now I am the English teacher's aide in my class. I love English and I love to teach my classmates, too.I always encourage my classmates and say,” Don’t worry. I believe you can be better.” just like Mr. GAO always said to me. I think with this perfect model I will be an English teacher in the future. Wish me luck!

　　Yummy fruit

　　I like to eat fruit because almost all fruits are tasty and good for your body. I like sweet fruits better than sour fruits. My favorite fruit is hemi melon I think it is the sweetest fruit in the world.

　　I love hemi melons. They’re sweeter than candy and they smell really good. I hate lemons because no fruit in the world is sourer than it. Sometimes I like to eat some grapes, too.But is carefull, sometimes they can be as sweet as hemi melons and sometimes they can be as sour as lemons.

　　My mammy and daddy like to eat sour fruits and my little brother likes to eat sweet fruits just like me. Fruit is the most delicious thing in the world.Fruit, I love you.

　　Chapter28　　給媽媽的一封信 A letter for Mum

　　就一般的家庭而言，媽媽跟孩子的關系通常是最密切的。媽媽從懷孕開始就和小孩產生難以割舍的情感，借這封信表達你和媽媽的互動，你想跟媽媽說的話，你對媽媽的感動等等。最后，再加上你想報答媽媽的方法，就能完成一篇動人的書信哦。

　　寫作技巧(Tips)

　　你曾經寫過信給媽媽嗎?可能我們平常跟媽媽生活在一起，覺得寫信沒有什么必要，但其實有很多事情也許我們想讓媽媽知道，但是又不好意思直接開口。那么就寫信吧。一開始就寫出要對媽媽說的事情哦。

　　我們第一段的建議開頭句就是：Today I’m going to tell you something really special.今天我要跟你說一件非常特別的事情。

　　因為是寫信，所以不用不好意思哦。把平常心中對媽媽的一些感受給表達出來吧。

　　我們第二段的建議開頭句就是：I also want to tell you one thing, I love you so much.我還想告訴你一件事情，我真的很愛你。

　　平常媽媽真的對我們照顧地無微不至，最后我們就寫出報答媽媽的方法。媽媽看了，一定會很高興。

　　我們第三段的建議開頭句就是：I made up my mind that I will study harder and help you to clean the house.我已經下定決心要更努力地用功讀書，并且幫你把家里整理干凈

　　現在讓我們來聽聽Peter的文章

　　親愛的媽咪 Dear Mum. 今天我要跟你說一件非常特別的事情。Today I’m going to tell you something really special. 我知道你每天都很辛苦地工作，也感到很疲憊。I know you work very hard and feel tired every day.每當你回家看到家里一團亂的時候，我知道你一定很生我的氣。Every time you come home and see the messy house. , I know you are very angry with me.但是你總是一句話也不說的把房子給整理干凈。But you always say nothing and clean up the house.其實我也一直很想幫你，但是我的回家功課真的很多。I always want to help you, but I have so much homework to do.每次把功課寫完以后，都覺得快要死掉了。After I finished my homework, I feel like dying.我真的很想幫忙，但是我也覺得好累哦。I really want to help you, but I’m so tired too.

　　我還想告訴你一件事情，我真的很愛你。I also want to tell you one thing, I love you so much.雖然每次你念我不夠用功的時候，我都會頂嘴。I usually talk back to you when you say that I don’t study hard enough.但事實上，我只是想要你再多稱贊我一點。But in fact I just want you to praise me more.我一定會盡我所能得到好成績，并且受到老師的贊揚。I will try my best to get good grades and get praise from my teacher.所以不要再因為我的成績而感到沮喪了，好嗎?So don’t feel frustrated about my grades, OK?

　　我已經下定決心要更努力地用功讀書，并且幫你把家里整理干凈I made up my mind that I will study harder and help you to clean the house.這次我可是認真的哦I am serious this time.我會盡快把作業完成，這樣我才能有更多的精力幫你整理家里。I will have my homework done faster so that I can have more energy to clean up the house.我也會盡量少看一點電視，這樣我才有更多的時間用功讀書得到好成績。I will watch TV less so that I can have more time to study and get good grades.而這所有的事情都只為了一個原因：媽咪，我想要讓你開心。我愛你!All these things are for one reason: I want to make you happy Mum. I love you! 非常非常愛你的彼得。With lots of love Peter
