People are very busy these days. Many people have no time to cook. However， most families love home cooking！ The food tastes delicious， and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families， everyone can see each other at the same time only when they have meals together.

Another reason why people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. Parents make some cookies not just because their children like eating them. They are sending a message， which says， “I love you so much that I spend an hour making cookies， however， you will eat them up in fifteen minutes.”

There is also something about the smell of home cooking. It makes all the people happy and it also makes most of us feel good and loved—even if we are the ones doing the cooking！

One day， Mr Brown saw a young woman on the street with some children. He was very surprised because all the children were wearing the same clothes： white caps， blue coats， and yellow pants.

“Are all these children yours？” he asked the woman. “Yes， they are，” she answered.

“Do you always dress them in the same clothes？” asked Mr Brown. “Yes，” answered the mother. “When we only had three children， we dressed them in the same clothes because we didnt want to lose any of them. It was easy to see our children among other children because they were all wearing the same clothes. Now that we have ten children， we dress them like this because we dont want to take other children home by mistake. When there are other children among ours， it is easy to see them because their clothes are different.”

Tom asked his mother and she said， “Yes， you can go.” He phoned Peters mother to tell him.

Before Tom went to the party on Saturday afternoon， his mother said to him， “Now， Tom， dont forget to be polite. Dont ask for food. Wait until someone gives it to you.”

Dear Mom and Dad，

Ive been here for weeks， and I am happy here. Thank you for telling me to send a card to Ms Wang for Teachers Day next month. Ill do it， because I wont be home on September 10th.

My friend and I spend a weekend in the house of an American family. Mr Adams met us at the bus station and took us to his farm in his car. There we met his wife and their two daughters， Martha and Lisa. His son was staying with his friends. Mr Adams grows apples and vegetables， and he has about 100 cows. However， he doesnt milk the cows himself. Mr Adams has a computer to help him. It tells him many things， such as how to milk the cows， when to grow things and to sell them. But there is one thing the computer doesnt do： tell him that its time for dinner.

We did have great fun on the farm. And we have learned a lot about life in America.

One day， Mrs Brown saw a beautiful sweater in a clothing shop. She liked it very much， so she wanted to buy it at once. But she didnt bring enough money with her. Then she went back home and told her husband that she wanted to buy the sweater. But her husband said she had so many different kinds of sweaters that she didnt need to buy another one.

The next day， she told her husband that she still wanted to buy the sweater. The third day， she said the same thing. After a week， her husband agreed that she could buy the sweater. When they went to the clothing shop， the sweater was still there. But， to her husbands surprise， she didnt want to buy it any more. “The others dont want to buy the sweater， I dont want to buy， either，” she said.

Julia had found a new job in another city， so she had to leave here. When Julia moved to the city， she left her dog to one of her friends. She was going to return for her pet the next week. Before she could go back for her dog， it had run away. Julias friend was sorry about that and Julia felt so sad.

Julia put an ad in the newspaper. It said that she would give a present to anyone who found her dog. She sold her bike to get the money for the present. But no one found her dog.

Two months later， on a Sunday morning， Julia was playing in her garden when she heard a bark. It was her dog. It walked all the way to Julias new home. Julia was very happy because she owned her dog again.

It was late at night. The traffic was usually bad at the moment in the city. Miss Harbor wanted to reach her friends house on time. She was afraid because it was raining， and the traffic in the rain was worse than usual. Miss Harbor also had bad eyesight. She didnt think she looked beautiful when she wore glasses， so she never wore glasses. She was trying to read the road signs， but she could not see them. The first thing she did was that she started to drive slowly. The second thing she did was to turn on the radio. When she listened to the radio she didnt feel afraid or alone. The third thing she did was going to a hotel and slept. She drove to her friends house the next morning when the traffic was good. The third thing she did was the best idea. She did not want to lose time， but she really wanted to make herself safe.

This is the first year that Nancy and Harry are going on vacation without any of their children. They feel a little lonely without them， but its nice， too. They dont have to worry about where the children are or what theyre doing.

Both Nancy and Harry are good cooks. Nancy cooks one night， and Harry cooks the next. After they do the dishes， they watch TV or play cards with the couple next door. Sometimes they drive to town to see a movie. They usually stay up late at night.

Nancy and Harry also like to go for long walks together. Theres a state park a few miles from their house. They drive to the park and walk in the woods. The air there is fresh， and the trees are pretty. Its good to be away from the heat and the noise of Miami and to be free from their work.

Once I volunteered as a clerk at a local store. I worked there for a month. I felt very happy because I could do something to help our local people.

One day， a young mother came to the store to get some toys for her son. She was happy about a toy she was looking at. But after she went through her bag for a while， she said that she had left her wallet home.

I suggested she go home quickly and come back for the toy， but she said she lived far from here. Looking at her disappointed face， I felt sorry for her and I paid for her toy. She was so surprised that someone offered to do that and she took my name and address.

My husband thought the young lady wouldnt give back the money. But two days later， after I received a check from the woman， it was his turn to be surprised by goodness in the world！

There are a great many old stories about love between parents and children. One of them goes like this.

Long long ago， there was a boy named Meng Zhong. He and his mother lived a hard life. He tried to do all the housework to help his mother. One day， his mother became seriously ill. The doctor said that his mother needed some bamboo shoots， which are the edible part of bamboos. However， it was cold winter then， and the ground was covered with thick snow. Where on earth could he find bamboo shoots？ He was very worried and didnt know what to do. He cried and cried for the whole day. Suddenly， he heard some sounds， and he found a lot of bamboo shoots growing out of the ground. It was his love for his mother that moved God. In no time at all， he took the bamboo shoots home and cooked them for his mother. Soon， his mother became well again.

My English teacher is Susan. She is very popular in our class and also in our school. She has a round face with long hair. She gives us four English classes every week. In her class， we read English books， play games， and sing English songs. Sometimes we have short English plays in class. We all like our English class very much. Susan lives a very healthy life. She likes hamburgers a lot， but she has them only twice a week because they are unhealthy food. Susan likes sports， too. She plays tennis with girls; sometimes she also plays basketball with boys. But she doesnt play football. Susan watches TV every evening. Her favorite channel is CCTV-9 because it is English. She never goes to bed late. She always says， “I must have an eight-hour sleep a day. Then I can enjoy every day.”

It was getting dark yesterday evening. Paul looked out of the window. Dad said he could come home by 5：30， but it was 7：00. Even if Dad came back， it wouldnt be fun playing baseball in the dark. Paul tried to do some homework， but he couldnt.

Dad called at about 8：00， “Paul， Im sorry， but I couldnt play baseball with you tonight. How about this weekend？ Oh no. How about next weekend？”

Paul couldnt understand why Dad was so busy. He threw himself into the sofa and fell asleep. His book was still opened to the first page.

Today Paul called his father， “Dad， I cant play with you next weekend. I dont want to spend another day looking out of the window and waiting. We can rebuild our relationship， but we have to start small. Maybe you can help my studies sometimes. Dad， I love you.”

As Paul ended， he felt much relaxed. He didnt know if Dad would be different， but he expressed his feelings to the right person. He had a clear head as he did his homework this evening.
