My grandma

My grandma was a short woman with grey hair. She was always cheerful. She was a very good cook. Her dishes were probably the best in the world. I will never forget the taste, and the smell as well.

Grandma took care of my family. She was really kind and patient. She died two years ago and I miss her very much. Alice

Alice is my best friend. She is a tall girl with glasses. She often tells me jokes to make me laugh, but she never makes fun of others.

Alice is a smart girl. She is good at Maths. We often study and play table tennis together. I hope we will always remain friends. Mr. Li

Mr. Li is my Maths teacher. He is tall and thin. His classes are always full of fun. He uses lots of games in his teaching.

Mr. Li is strict about our studies, but he always encourages us and gives us support. He often says, never give up and you will be successful.

France is calling

France is in Western Europe. It is a country with many beautiful

places.

Paris is the capital of France. Here you will find many famous places of interest such as the Eiffel Tower. You can go to the Louvre Museum if you like art. The most famous street in Paris is the Champs-Elysees. This is the place to go if you want to visit some shops and department stores.

France is very famous for its wine. There are many vineyards in the centre of France and farmers grow grapes to make excellent French wine.

The south of France lies on the coast, and it is famous for its wonderful beaches. A French town by the sea is the perfect place for a summer holiday, but if you prefer to visit France in winter, you can try skiing on the mountains in the French Alps. France has something for every one, so why not visit France this year?
