We 1 middle school students．We are in No．3 Middle School in Shanghai．We are 2 Grade Seven．Wei Fang, Li Lei 3 I are in Class Two．We are twelve．Miss Li is 4 head-teacher．We all live 5 the same city．
We 6 a new classroom．In the classroom, you 7 see forty-eight desks and 8 ．They are green．On a desk, there are some 9 ．The red one is Wei Fang’s．Mine is yellow．Li Lei’s pencil isn’t there． 10 is in her bag．
Almost everyone uses it．There is one on my desk now．It is useful．Is there one on your desk, too? 1 am I talking about? Can you 2 what it is? It is a pencil．
Most pencils are about 18 centimetres long．One pencil can draw a line thirty-five miles long, or write 45,000 3 ! One pencil may be sharpened(削尖) 4 times or more before it is too short to use, yet we can buy one for the price of an orange! I think that pencils are very 5 ．
Pencils are made in many different 6 , but most people like yellow ones．There are more yellow pencils than any other color．No one knows why people like yellow pencils but they do．Someone once made a lot of pencils．Half were yellow and half were green．A man bought them and 7 them for a long time．Then he went to the market with them and said, “The green pencils, I’m sorry to say, are 8 good．They break easily．They are hard to sharpen．They don’t write well．I don’t 9 any more green pencils．I want yellow ones in the future, please．”
But the pencils were 10 ．The only difference was the color!
