Peter is thirteen years old. He is in Grade Two this year. He likes to play football and watch football
matches. And he often reads newspapers. He does his best to know when and where there is going to
be a football match. Now Peter is having lunch. He is listening to the radio, too. He is very happy because
there is going to be a nice footballmatch on Tv at four this afternoon. He wants to watch it very much.
But he is going to have English and Chinese lessons. He thinks hard and find a way.
      "Hello, Mrs Black," Peter says to his teacher on the telephone," Peter is ill in bed. He wants to ask
for half a day's leave (请半天假)."
     "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," says Mrs Black. "But who is that?"
     " It's my father. Mrs Black."
