Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.

"That's right," she answered. The blind man ate his snack and finished his drink. After
drinking so much, it was only natural his next stop was going to the restroom. He asked the waitress where it was. She told him to turn left at the register (登记处) and it would be the second door on the right.

My ideal school is next to a beautiful park. There are many trees and flowers around it. There are about 100 teachers and l.000 students in my ideal school. The students here are very friendly. All the teachers are kind and helpful. We learn Chinese, Maths, English, Geography and some other subjects. My favourite subject is English. I like to get up late, so the school starts at 9:00 a.m. and finishes at 3:30 p. m. After class, we will have after school activities, such as playing volleyball, swimming and dancing. We have very little homework to do every day. Everyone enjoys the school life very much.
