It was Jimmy’s birthday, and he was five years old.He got quite a lot of nice birthday presents from his family, and one of them was a beautiful drum(鼓).
“Who gave him that thing?”Jimmy’s father said when he saw it.“His grandfather did, ”answered Jimmy’s mother.
“Oh, ”said his father.0f course Jimmy liked his drum very much.
He made a terrible noise with it, but his father didn’t mind(介意).His father was working during the day and Jimmy was in bed when he got home in the evening.So he didn’t hear the moise.
But one of the neighbours didn’t like the noise at all, so one morning a few days later, she took a sharp knife and went to Jimmy’s house while he was hitting his drum.She said to him, “Hello, Jimmy, do you know, there is something very nice inside your drum?Here is a knife and let’s find it.”

Good afternoon.Welcome to England.We hope that your visit will be a pleasant one.Today I'd like to tell you something about a few of our laws.
The first one is about drinking.Now you may not buy wine in this country if you are under 18 years of age,nor may your friends buy it for you.
The second one,noise.Enjoy yourselves by yourself,but don't make unnecessary noise,especially at night.We ask you to respect other people who may wish you be quiet.
The third one,crossing the road.Be careful.The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country.Use pedestrian crossing (人行横道) and don't take any chances when crossing the road.
My next point is about rubbish.It isn't lawful to drop rubbish in the street.When you have something to throw away,please put it in your pocket and take it home,or put it in a dustbin.
Finally,smoking.It is against the law to buy cigarettes if you are less than 16 years of age.
I'd like to finish by saying that if you need any kinds of help,you should contact the police.They will be glad to help you.You can call,write or go to ask any policemen.
