This is the song of the bee.
His legs are yellow;
A happy, good fellow,
And yet a great worker is he.
On days that are sunny,
He's getting his honey(蜂蜜);
On days that are cloudy,
He's making his wax(蜜蜡);
On pinks and on lilies.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

London is a wonderful and large city. The Thames River runs through the city from west to east, just like the Hudson River in New York. So London has two parts, the South and the North. In the North are shops, big parks and quite good places.
The weather in London is mild. In winter it is not very cold and in summer it is not very hot. People say that London is a foggy(多雾的) city and it often rains. It is true. My friend Linda lives in London. One day last year, the fog was very thick. All the buses and trains stopped. So she had to walk to school that day.
The food in London is very nice, too. Many people have hamburgers for lunch. They also like Chinese food. Sometimes they have noodles and soup for dinner. But people like fish and chips best. Most visitors in London would like to have fish and chips.
Do you keep a diary(日记)? Do you know keeping a diary is good for children's writing?
The UK charity(慈善机构) National Literacy Trust did a study about children's diary writing.
It studied over 30,000 children aged between 8 and 16. The study found that if a child keeps a diary, he or she may be a better(更好的) writer than(比) others of that age. About 27% of children who keep diaries are better writers than others of that age. Only 15.5% of children who do not keep diaries are better writers than others of that age.
You may ask, "What should I write in a diary?" Jacqueline Wilson has some advice. Ms. Wilson is a very popular children's writer from the UK. She says, "You can write about people you love, or people you don't like. You can also write about your hopes and great dreams. And if you are really good at sports and watch a lot of games, why not write about them in your diary?"
The Life of a Firefighter(消防员) Jeff is a firefighter in the US. He tells us about his life.
I live in a room with seven other firefighters. Every day we get up at 5:20 and then we clean our room. It is boring, but we have to do it. At 6:00, training(训练) starts with team exercise.
One hour later, we have our breakfast. We have to eat very fast because we don't have much time.
Then we run at 8:30 in the morning. We always run five kilometers. It's not easy at all.
We have lunch at 12:00. After lunch, we can get some rest. At 14:00, it's time for skill(技能) training. We practice three skills: driving, firefighting and communicating. Every day, after dinner, we have some free time. We usually go to bed at 22:00.
Well, this is our life when things are fine. If there is a fire or someone calls 911, we have to stop what we are doing and get out fast. We must try our best to keep everyone safe(安全的).
I think my job is dangerous but important!
