1 Our classroom faces our school garden. After class we like to look out of the windows to enjoy the lovely view. Our school garden is the most beautiful place in the school. There is a small pool in the middle. Some goldfish are swimming in it. Around the pool there are all kinds of flowers. We can always see flowers, even in winter. Between the school building and the flower-beds there is a lovely lawn. Boys and girls like to take a walk in the garden after school.

6 Bats are the only flying mammal in the world. They can't see very well. It is in many places that all bats are blind. "Blind as a bat" is often heard. Yet they have no trouble flying in the darkest nights and finding their way around very well. How can bats fly and see at night? They fly by radar.

Cars and buses ran very slowly with their lights on, and their horns made big noises. When evening fell, it got even worse. All traffic came to a stop. Since I had an important meeting on the other side of the city, I wanted to walk. Minutes later I was lost. Then I heard a young woman's voice coming out of the fog. "I think you are lost.

American people like to say "Thank you" whenever others help them or say something kind to them. People of many other countries do so, too. It is a very good habit. You should say "Thank you"when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you, keeps the door open to you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. "Thank you"is used not only between friends but also between parents and children and sisters, husbands and wives. "Excuse me"is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It's not polite to break others while they are talking.
