I am Dave. Some of my classmates are talking in the classroom.

Jill: My grandparents live on a farm. I went there with my sister. We stayed for seven days. The weather was usually sunny, so most of the time I played outside with my sister. On the farm, I milked cows, fed chickens and rode horses. I had a lot of fun. I think my trip was great.

Mark: I went to Shanghai with my parents. I wanted to visit some museums, but my parents wanted to go shopping. I didn’t like going shopping. So I stayed in the hotel and watched TV all day. It was really a boring trip.

Anna: I think the best place for a holiday is the beach (海滩). I went to Sanya with my brother last year. The sand there was white, and it looked very beautiful. We built (建造) a big house with it. We swam and enjoyed the sunshine. We ate many kinds of seafood. They were delicious. The trip was great. I hope I can visit there again one day.

The Year of the Dog has passed,and this year we welcome the Pig!What do you think about pigs? Do you think they're dirty,or that they eat a lot? I wonder if these things are true.

When you see pigs,they are usually in dirty water or mud(泥巴). But pigs would rather stay clean if they could. Pigs have no sweat glands(汗腺),so during hot days,they have to cool themselves in water or mud. Mud can keep insects(虫子)off of them. It can also protect(保护)their skin from the sun.

If someone is eating a lot,we say they are “pigging out”. Pigs do love eating. But they're still useful to us. Besides eating pork(猪肉),we also use other parts of pigs. Pig bones and skin are used for glue and shoes. The hair is used for artists' brushes. Pigs are also used to make drugs,such as insulin(胰岛素).

“You are as stupid as a pig!” Are pigs stupid? Pigs are actually very smart animals. The only animals that are smarter than them are humans,primates(灵长类),dolphins and whales. Many experts think pigs are easier to train than dogs or cats.

For example,pigs have a good sense of smell. They can find things underground. They also help the police sniff out(嗅出)drugs.
