My name is Chau Kai Fat. I am 72 years old. I was born in China. Before we moved to Macao in the 1940s, we were farmers in a small village in China. We used to fly kites, take turtles for walks, jump ropes and watch grasshoppers fight when we were small. My father made kites for us. We had a pond in front of our house. These were many turtles there. We gathered around the pond after school. We took out the turtles and tied a rope around their little necks. Then we started taking them for walks. In summer, the grasshoppers were everywhere. We caught them and put them in a jar and watched them fight. The winner got a sweet and the loser had to sing. It was fun.

　I am Peter, Mr. Chau's son. I was born in 1963. When I was at primary school, the most popular game was football. Everyone played football and we listened to football games on the radio. When I was in Form 3, our English teacher showed us an

English game ?--- Scrabble. We took seven letters from a bag.

Each letter has points. Then we made an English word with all

or some of the letters. We counted the points. The one who had

the most points would be the winner. The first time we played

the game we thought it was never-ending because everyone took so long to come up with a word. We began to enjoy it more after we played the game several times.

　I am Wilson, Mr. Chau's grandson. My grandpa told me he watched grasshoppers before. My father told me he played ‘Scrabble’. However, I love computer games. A few weeks ago, a new game came out. It is called ‘Julio's Adventures’. I downloaded it from the Internet. In the game, Julio has to go through 14 levels to save the princess and to get the treasures. Sometimes, there are puzzles for you to solve. Sometimes, you see a monster in the tomb. You have to control Julio's movements and fight with the attacker by pressing the space bar. You can choose the weapons you like. I am still trying to get through level 8. lf you know the secrets, please e-mail them to me at ezboy@sunshine.net.cn.

　　Mr. Smith works in a post office. He's strict in his work and gets on well with his workmates. So he has a lot of friends.
