This year we had a bad snowstorm at the beginning of January. That morning, the first thing I noticed was white snow, everywhere. And I knew it was snowing a lot

After some time, it was hard to see the trees outside. The wind was blowing hard and ice outside and outside of my window I thought the power was going to stop. Luckily, it didn’t and we could watch TV and warm ourselves inside

The radio reported some people were getting into trouble in their cars on the hill .It also told people to stay away from the roads because they were icy and dangerous. The government closed down some dangerous roads

It was Tuesday 4th. The snow had lasted for three days .Our school was open though many other ones were closed .But I had to stay at home because of the icy road .The next day I would go back to school and I hoped everything would be OK again.

Joe Smith is a singer. He and his wife like traveling a lot. Every year they visit a small town called Gum Tree in January and July

One summer, they went there by train again On the first day, they planned to go hiking in the mountains, but it rained a lot. So they had to stay in the hotel. They tried to think about something interesting to do. At last, they decided to walk to the only cinema in the town and watch a movie there.

A few minutes later, they got to the cinema. When they went into the cinema hall,the lights there were still on. And there were only nine people sitting there. When the people saw the Smiths they started clapping. Joe was excited and said to his wife, ―Aha, I can not believe(相信) the people in such a small place know me and they are friendlier than I thought. They must like my songs. Then a young man said to them, ―Thanks for your coming！The cinema won’t show the movie until ten people buy the tickets. There’re eleven now, so the movie is starting.
