LIGHTS IN THE HOUSE

My mother was mad. What was wrong? She saw all the lights in the house were on and no one was home. Mom said: “when you turn off the lights, you save energy, you save money and you save the environment. Is that hard to do?”. “No, of course not”, said my brother. “Please, let’s not forget again”, said my mother.

THE FIRST WORD

I wonder what the first word was. Who spoke the first word? How long ago? Was it “hello” or was it “goodbye”? ever since that first word, people have been talking. I think I know what the first word was. Someone was cooking on a fire and burned himself “Ouch!”

EVERYTHING IS NEW

When the first baby is born, everything is new. With a new baby, there is a new mother and new father. There is also a new grandfather and grandmother, a new uncle and new aunt. The new parents have to prepare a new bed and new clothes and new toys for the new baby. Everything is new.

Colours

One day, RED and BLUE were arguing about which colour is the best. RED said: I get all the attention. BLUE said: I am the colour of the sea. All of a sudden, RED spilled into BLUE. Purple was born. From then on, they both agreed that purple was their favourite colour.

BASKETBALL IS FUN

My uncle gave me a basket ball for my birthday. Uncle showed me how to bounce the ball. At the first, I could only bounce the ball few times. With practice, I could bounce the ball up to ten, elevent, twelve… twenty… thirty… and one hundred times. I was so excited.

I wish I could put the ball in the net.

TALL TOM

Tom is very tall. He is taller than anyone in our class. He is even taller than our teacher. Today, our teacher asked us to play a game called REACH HIGH. Tom raised his hand and all the kids jumped as high as possible. They tried to reach Tom’s hand. But no one could do it.
