Last month I had morning tea with my friend, Bell in a restaurant.He is fat.He liked to eat very much.At the table we talked and laughed.We had a happy time.The waiter brought us a lot of things.After a big meal, we had bananas and apples.He drank milk and coffee.“Bell, it's noon.I think we have to go away now.Three hours went by.”I said.“Why so, Tom?We shouldn't leave now.It's lunch time.”
Last month we bought our two-year-old daughter a little dog.There were few children of her age where we live, and we thought a dog would make her less lonely.We were right.They play together children in the house.Both of them are very dirty and they cry when they do not get what they want.The dog is easier to look after than my daughter-he always eats up all his food and we don't have many dirty clothes to wash.My wife is also very happy because I have given up smoking.The dog doesn't like the smell.

Last Sunday I saw the worst storm. It came suddenly and went on for more than three hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, and all was quiet. The strong wind started blowing into my room suddenly. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out of the open window. As I ran out to catch them, big drops of rain began to fall.When I came back into the house, it was raining harder and harder. I tried very hard to close the window. Then I heard a loud crashing(碰撞的) sound from the back of the house. I ran out of my room to find out what it was——a big tree had fallen down and broken the top of the back room.
