1．　　Hi! This is my friend. His name is Jack. Do you want to know something about him? He lives in New York. His house is near a small park. He works in a city library. Today is Sunday and here is his plan for the day.

2．　　My name is Becky. I went to Canada for a weekend with my father. We stayed in the mountains for 36 hours. We went climbing and walking. The weather wasn't very nice, but the mountains were beautiful. In the evening we learned how to make knots (绳结). We also learned about first aid (急救).
　　One of my friends Dave also went for a school trip with his classmates last Sunday. They visited Uncle Sam's farm. They saw hundreds of cows on the farm. Uncle Sam was very friendly to them. He taught them how to feed chickens and how to milk a cow. They could also learn to ride horses on the farm. They said that horses ran quite fast. And they felt just very terrible. But they had a good time there!

3．　　Last summer, Jody went on vacation with her parents and her little brother Joe. They went to the beach. The weather was fine and the children went swimming every day.
　　One day, Jody and Joe went boating. It was a nice small boat. When they were having a great time near the beach, a strong (强劲的) wind came and took the boat far from the beach.
　　Jody wanted to go back, but she fell (掉落) into the water. Joe was scared and he didn't know what to do. "Help! Help!" shouted Jody. She was getting down in the water. She saw water and dolphins (海豚) all around. She wanted to swim, but she couldn't. One of her legs was in the seaweed (海草) wrapped (缠绕)! And she couldn't make it come out of the seaweed. Just then a dolphin quickly came to save her. The dolphin took Jody on its mouth and took her up to the boat. After that, it swam away.
　　"Did you see that? That dolphin saved your life!" shouted Joe when Jody was back in their boat. "Yes, I was really surprised when I saw it, but I can't believe (相信) it at all!" said Jody. And they went back to the beach quickly. At this time, Jody said with a smile, "We are lucky today!"
