My father died when I was a baby, and my mother had to go out to work. I was the only  36  so I had no brothers and sisters to play with at home. I used to play in the street with other children, or ride my bike down to the park, but I remember I  37  a lot of time just sitting at home reading. We had a television, I think, but don’t remember   38  it very much.
My grandparents lived with us and we used to do a lot of things together.I remember we played cards a lot. At the weekends, my mother always  39  -- We often went down to the sea and swam, and I   40  to swim when I was quite young.
We didn’t have a car, so we went everywhere by bus. Occasionally（偶尔），one of my uncles used to come and take us out in his car, which was a great   41 .For holidays we always went to the seaside, but never far away maybe a short train journey.
My mother wasn’t very    42 , and I don’t remember her ever    43   me. In fact（事实上），I got my way too much.
I was given small pocket money because we weren’t very   44  and I probably spent most of it on sweets, as far as I remember I don’t think anyone thought they were   45  for you then.

　　I have been here in Beijing for one year and a half now. Beijing is the capital of China while Canberra is the capital of Australia. Beijing is in the north of China. In winter it is not so warm in Beijing as it is in Canberra. In fact（事实上）, it's quite cold here. It has just snowed twice this winter. Yesterday I had the first“White Christmas”in my life. How interesting! It's so warm in Canberra and so cold in Beijing. Yesterday evening I began to learn to skate on real ice. I had many falls and was black and blue all over, but I was happy because I learned fast. I think I will skate on real ice soon.

　　By the way, I have traveled to several big cities Of China. I have already visited a lot of interesting places in Beijing. I've made quite a few（许多）friends here. I hope you will come to Beijing one day. Oh, I have to stop writing.

Today，for example，I had an interesting experience（经历）.At 11 o’clock this morning，I got a call from a man. I don’t know who he was. He was in trouble and I could tell that he was worried about something. He gave me address and asked me to send an ambulance（救护车）right away. I asked him if somebody was hurt，but he didn’t answer my question. He told me he needed a doctor at once，so I said I’d call an ambulance for him but I still wanted to know what was wrong. Then he said，“Our keys are gone!” I didn’t understand that! Why would he need an ambulance just because he couldn’t find his keys? Then I found out what the trouble was. The man and his wife left the car keys on a coffee table，and later they couldn’t find them. Their little boy Johnny was playing in the room，and they thought he swallowed（吞下）them.

But before I could help him，he told me he wouldn’t need an ambulance anymore. His wife found the keys in her bag. They were there all the time.
