I’m Mary. I have a piece of good news to tell you. My parents bought a new flat in the centre of the city. The rooms are not big, but they are all comfortable. There are more rooms than our old flat. I am excited(激动) because I have my own bedroom. In the old flat, I share the bedroom with my sister.
My favourite room in the new flat is my bedroom. I can be alone (单独) in it. It is my own small world. I can listen to music, read comics and chat with my friends on the phone. I can also look for things on the Internet and send e-mails to my e-friends.
Kitchen is my favourite room, too. I like helping my mother with the cooking. She is not only a good teacher but also a good cook. She often teaches me how to make some different dishes. She lived in Sichuan when she was a child. So she likes hot food and she can cook very delicious hot food.

We are learning English, but how can we learn English well? A student can know a lot about English, but maybe he can not speak English.
If you want to know how to swim, you must get into the river. And if you want to be a football player, you must play football. So , you see, you can learn English only by using it. You listen to your teacher carefully in class. You must read your lessons every day. You must speak English to your English teacher and classmates and also you must write in English. Then one day, you may find your English very good.
