Skin-diving (潛水)is a new sport today. This sport takes you into a wonderful new world. It is like a visit to the moon. When you are under water, it is easy for you to climb big rocks, because you are no longer heavy.

Here, under water, everything is blue and green. During the day, there is plenty of light. When fishes swim near, you can catch them with your hands.

Because you have tanks (罐)of fresh air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time.

To catch fish is one of the most interesting parts of this sport. Besides it has many uses. For example, you can clean ships without taking them out of water. You can get many things from the deep sea.

Now you see that skin-diving is both useful and interesting.

It was raining hard as I was walking up the hill towards the station at six o’clock on a Saturday morning. At this early hour there wasn’t much traffic and there weren’t many people. Just as I was crossing the road near the top of the hill, a car came round the corner and turned over.

I ran to the car to help the driver. He was badly hurt and there was a lot of blood on his face. A young woman hurried into the station and phoned for an ambulance while I looked after the driver. Many people came to see what happened. A policeman arrived a few minutes later and asked me a lot of questions. After a while, the ambulance arrived and took the young man away to hospital.

Jenny and her friends started early on Saturday morning for a farm. They were there until Sunday morning. During their stay, they went fishing and swimming in the small river on the farm. They played football in the field and enjoyed a big meal until late into the night.

Mr. Brown loves his students because they are hard-working and lovely. Last week he took them to the Space (航天)Museum. There were many things about space there. First, the students watched a movie about space travel. They saw how the space shuttle (航天飛機)took off in space and landed on the earth. It was very exciting and the children felt that they were traveling in space.

After the movie, Mr. Brown took them to see some models of rockets and the space shuttle. The students also saw some moon stones. Two Americans landed on the moon in 1969 and took some stones back.

Before the children left, they watched a video show about people living and working in a space lab.

Christmas is one of the most important holidays in America and many other countries. People say that a long time ago Christ (耶酥)was born on December 25. And so people call this day Christmas Day.

Now, people celebrate Christmas as the most wonderful holiday of the year. Children think on Christmas Eve (圣誕前夕)Santa Claus will ride in a sleigh (雪橇)pulled by deer and stop by thousands of homes and leave presents for them. In the U.S. people send Christmas cards and presents to their friends and relatives (親戚)and of course, receive presents and cards from them, too. Schools and many shops are closed in the holidays.
