One Saturday morning, Jimmy got up very early. He ran into the kitchen and ate breakfast with his mom. After they finished, Jimmy went to the door.

“What will you do?” asked Mom.

“I will play on the swing,” said Jimmy.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea,” said Mom. “It’s raining.”

Jimmy went to the window and looked out. The swing was wet. He sighed(叹气) and went to the kitchen again.

“I don’t like it when it rains,” said Jimmy. “I want to play outside.”

“You can play outside tomorrow,” said Mom.

“How can I get to tomorrow? Can I run to tomorrow now? I go really fast when I run,” asked Jimmy.

“I don’t think that will work,” said Mom. “Time goes in a certain rhythm(某种规律). You can’t change it. But when you have a lot to do, time seems to go fast.”

“What can I do?” asked Jimmy.

“Why don’t you call Mack?” asked Mom. “Maybe he can play with you.”

Jimmy called Mack and he arrived in minutes.

First Jimmy and Mack played computer games and watched TV in the living room. After that, they went to Jimmy’s room and made a model plane together. Soon, it was time for Mack to go home.

The rain stopped at about 6:00 p.m., and Jimmy went out with his mom to have dinner in a new restaurant. On their way home, Mom asked Jimmy, “Did you have a good day?”

“Yes, it went fast,” said Jimmy happily.

Last year I went to Australia to study and travel. I stayed in Sydney for two weeks. I visited places of interest in the morning and took English lessons in the afternoon. A friend and I stayed with a family from Sydney. The homestay parents and brothers were very friendly to us. We talked about a lot of things with each other in English.

My spoken English improved (提高) greatly in Australia. I used to speak very little English in China. But in Australia, I had to use it very often. I was soon able to talk with my teachers and homestay family freely.

To me, the best place in Australia is the Sydney Opera House. You can look at it from different sides. I think it is one of the most wonderful buildings in the world. I cannot sing very well, when I was inside, I really wanted to sing.

Time flew when I was in Sydney. Soon came Christmas, then the New Year. I had never spent the New Year without my family. But this year, I was so far away from them. I felt a little homesick. I missed them so much, and l knew they missed me so much, too. In the evening, I phoned my family. When I heard their voices, I began to cry. My homestay mother held me in her arms and comforted me.
