I sometimes go outside and I watch all things that go on in the garden. It smells wonderful in the flowers garden. There are red，white，pink and yellow roses that have very a sweet smell. I watch the bees as they take pollen from the roses. There are tiny bugs that live on the rose bushes. My mother tries to get rid of the little bugs，but it is difficult to get rid of them. She is glad to see the red ladybugs who eat the little bugs. The birds like sunflowers. They like to eat sunflower seeds. There is a birdbath in the garden. The blackbirds and swallows go in there to take a drink or have a bath. I sometimes see a robin or a bluejay in there too. In the dirt，there are little holes where the ants go in and out. The ants are hard workers. I watch them as they work together as a team to bring food to their nests. There are snails in the garden too. They carry their homes on their backs. They move slowly and leave a silvery trail as they go. They eat leaves from my mother's plants. My mother also has vegetables growing in her garden. She grows green peas. We like to pick those and eat the peas raw，right out of their pods. She grows lettuce and tomatoes too. We have so many tomatoes that we always give some to our neighbors. My mother sends us outside to pick lettuce and tomatoes whenever we have a salad. My favorite vegetables are carrots. Their top grow above the earth，but the carrots are blow the dirt. When you pick them，you have to pull the carrots out from under the soil. Weeds also grow in the garden. After a good rainfall，it seems that the weeds just spring up. I pull the weeds out by their roots so that they won't grow back. Weeds choke the good plants，so we don't want they in our garden. Gardening is a good hobby. You get fresh air，sunshine and exercise. You even get beautiful， colorful flowers and nice fresh food.

We get a holiday from school，and our parents get a few days off from work. Our family gets ready for Christmas by decorating the house. We decorate inside and out. On the outside of the house，we put up lights that twinkle and glow. We have a wooden Santa Claus and reindeer set that my father puts up on the roof. Inside，we put up a Christmas tree. Some years we have a real tree. Real pine trees smell nice，but you have to be careful that they don't dry out and start a fire. This year，we have an artificial tree. We hand tinsel and ornaments on the tree. We also hang strands of lights on the tree and put a star at the top. Everyone think the tree is beautiful when we turn on the lights. We place gifts under the tree. There is a gift for me under the tree. It is wrapped in red paper and it has a big green bow on it. Red and green are the Christmas colors. On Christmas Eve，my brother and sister and I will hang our stockings near the fireplace. Santa Claus comes down the chimney and fills our stockings full of toys and goodies. On Christmas morning，it is exciting to see what Santa has left for you. My mother will make a big turkey dinner for us on Christmas day. We will have lots of vegetables and good tasting foods to go with the turkey. We will have dessert too. Some of my family like Christmas pudding，but I will just have ice cream. Last year，some carolers came to the door. It was snowing outside. They stood in the snow and sang Christmas carols to us. My father gave them some money，and my mother gave them some hot chocolate to warm them up. They had lovely voices，and they sang some of my favorite carols. We also collect food，gifts and money for some of the people in town who cannot afford to have a Christmas. My father is collecting things for a poor family who live near here. We had fun deciding which toys to buy for the children in that family. It is good feeling to share with people who do not have as much as you do. My parents have always taught us that Christmas is a time for giving，not receiving. I think they are right.

A tiny electric train runs through make-believe villages and travels through the tunnels and over mountains. My father also enjoys sailing. He has a real sailboat that he takes us out on. He is teaching me how to sail. I like to collect things. I collect comic books，stamps and coins. I trade comic books with some of my friends，and sometimes I buy comic books at stores. Some of the very old comic books are worth a lot of money. I have stamps from all over the world. Whenever any of my friends get a letter from a faraway place，they save the stamps for me. I have stamps from England，Japan，Australia and even Russia. I use a magnifying glass to look at the stamps，and I keep them in a special album. I don't have too many coins，but I have a vert old dime from Canada，and I have a coin with a hold in it from Africa. My mother used to collect dolls when she was a little girl. The dolls wore costumes from different countries. My friend John's hobby is painting. He does oil painting. He has even sold some of his paints. He is a good artist. My friend Linda sews. She has made some clothes for herself and some of her friends. Maybe Linda will be a fashion designer when she gets older. Sometimes people's hobbies lead them into their careers.

I was bouncing a ball in the kitchen，and the ball bounced up and broke a cup. It was one of my mother's best cups，so I was afraid that she would be mad. I put the broken cup back on the table，and I didn't tell anyone that I had broken it. That night，my mother asked who had broken the cup. My brother said“not me”. My sister said“I didn't do that”. I said“I didn't break the cup”，but I was lying. My mother said that we would all be punished if someone didn't tell the truth and say who broke the cup. I still did not tell her that I had broken it. She gave us one more chance，and said that she wasn't mad about the cup，she just wanted us to be honest. I still didn't say anything. My brother，sister and I all got sent to our rooms. We had to stay in our rooms all morning. My brother said it wasn't fair. I felt very bad because my brother and sister were being punished because of me. I went wo my mother and told her that I had broken the cup. She said that she was not upset about the broken cup. She knew that it was an accident. She was disappointed in me because I hadn't come forward and told the truth. She said that she wouldn't have punished me if I had been honest with her. I told my brother and sister that I was sorry. I felt bad because they were punished because I was dishonest. I told my mother that I was sorry that I had lied to her. I told her that I had learned a lesson. Honest is the best policy. It is better to tell the truth. It is not a good feeling when people don't truth you. I had learned that lying just hurts people. Sometimes it is hard to be honest，but it is the best way to be.

Being with my friends makes me happy. Lots of things make me happy. If someone tells me a joke，I laugh. I enjoy laughing. Funny movies make me laugh.

He has an office near my house. I went to see him on Thursday. His nurse told me to sit in a very big chair. She tied a bib under my chin. The dentist came in. He examined my teeth with some shiny silver tools. He looked at my front teeth and my back teeth. He told me that the back teeth were called molars. He told me to“open wide”. He had a little mirror that he used to look at my teeth. He said that I had good strong teeth. He told me that I didn't have any cavities. I told him that I didn't eat a lot of candies and that I always brushed my teeth after every meal. He said that was very good. He asked me if I flossed my teeth，and I said“yes，I use dental floss every day”. He told me that my teeth were heathy because I took very good care of them He left and told me to keep up the good work. The dental hygienist came in ，and said that she would clean my teeth for me. She scraped my teeth with a sharp tool，and then she put some polish on my teeth and began to clean them. When she was done，she told me to spit into a bowl，and then she rinsed my mouth out with water. I looked into a mirror and saw that my teeth were very shiny and white. If I take care of my teeth，I'll have them forever. I would like to keep my teeth healthy and white. I like to smile.

My mother took me to see the doctor. When we got there，the nurse took my name and said that the doctor would be with me soon. The doctor was a very nice man in a white jacket. I had seen the doctor before when I had my tonsils out at the hospital. The doctor took a light and looked in my ears. He put a stick on my tongue and he shone his light into my mouth. He looked my throat. He said that my throat was a bit swollen and red. He felt my neck and said that my glands were swollen. He took my temperature and said that the it was quite high. He listened to my heart，and he made me cough. He asked me some questions. He said that he might have to do some tests. He sent me to get some blood taken out of my arm. I was scared，but it didn't really hurt. The doctor gave some pills and told me to take one in the morning and one at night. He told to drink a lot of fluids. He told me to get plenty of sleep. I did exactly what the doctor told me to do. It wasn't very long before I was feeling well again. I think I might like to be a doctor when I grow up. I would like to make people feel better.

We are free for the summer. My friend and I run out on the last day of school into the bright summer sun. We sing a song about“no more pencils，no more books”. We can hardly wait to do all the summer things that we all like to do. We go swimming，we play baseball，we ride our bikes and we go to the beach. We go on vacations or some of us go to summer camp. It is just nice to run barefoot through the grass or lie on your back and look up at the clouds. Summer days are lazy days. We don't have to do school work. We listen to the buzzing of the bees. We watch the birds as they fly from tree to tree. We go down to the pond and toss rocks into the water. We eat ice cream and we have barbecues. Some of my friends' parents have boats，so we go for rides in their boats. Some of my friends go to their cottages. They have cottages on lakes. Some of my friends even have summer jobs. My best friend works at the supermarket. My father pays me to do jobs for him. I cut the grass，take out the garbage and wash the car. I like to be outside in the sunshine. On Sundays，my mother will pack the picnic lunch，and we go down to the park. Sometimes we play baseball. There is also a tennis court at the park. I am a very good tennis player. My sister just likes to swing on the swings and slide down the slide. We eat our sandwiches and watch out for the ants that always seem to be at picnic. After we have our lunch，my sister and I always run off to play with the other children. My dad has a nap，and my mother reads her book. My skin gets brown from the sun in the summer. Summer is my favorite season. I like the sounds，smells and feelings that come with the summer sun. Summer is a lot of fun. I wish summer can go on forever.

Autumn is the time when the leaves change color. They change from green to beautiful shades of gold，orange and red. It looks like an artist has come along and painted all the trees. The air starts to get a little cooler in the autumn. We begin to wear jackets or sweaters. We go back to school in the autumn. The teacher sometimes gets us to make leaf collections. We collect different types of leaves and make a display of them. Autumn is the time when old friends get back together and talk about what they did on their summer vacations. Halloween comes in autumn. We dress up in costumes. Some of them are scary，and some of them are funny. We go from door to door and say“trick or treat”and people give us candies. We wear masks on our faces，and we have a lot of fun. The autumn winds start to blow. The wind blows the leaves right off the tree until the trees have bare branches. My friend and I have a lot of fun outside before the winter leaves us shivering. We play football and soccer at school. After school，we ride our bikes through piles of dry leaves. The leaves go flying through the air as we drive through them. My parents rake the leaves up and put them in a big pile. I like to jump in the big piles of leaves，but then my parents just have to rake them up again. The skies get a little cloudier in the autumn，and we know that soon there will be snow，so we enjoy the brisk autumn weather while we can.

I can hardly wait for the ground to be covered with a blanket of white snow. I put on my mittens，my scarf，my hat，coat and winter boots，and I run out into the fluffy snow. I have to be careful not to slip on the ice. It can be very icy and cold in the winter. The first thing that I do is to build a snow man. I sometimes build a snow fort too. My friends and I have a good snowball fight. We laugh a lot，and our cheeks and noses get very red. When we get too cold，we go into the house and have a cup of hot chocolate. My father filled the backyard with water that freezes and turns into an ice rink. When the ice is hard enough，my friends and I get our skates and we go out on the ice to play hockey. All of my friends own hockey sticks. I am usually the goalie，and I have to keep the puck from going into the net. My sister and her friends don't really like to play hockey. They would rather just skate around on the ice. I took skating lessons，so I don't usually fall down. My little brother is just learning to skate，so he falls down a lot. My father has to shovel the snow off the paths and the driveway in the winter I help him. Shoveling snow is hard work. When my dad and I finish shoveling the driveway，we go into the house and warm our hands and feet in front of the fireplace. There is probably nothing more beautiful than the fresh fallen snow on the trees In the morning，when the sun shines on the snow，it glistens. I like to leave my footprints in the snow. Winter can be very beautiful and exciting.
