13．　　Have you got any friends? What are they like? Here are some best friends of some students from different countries.

14．　　Hello! My name is Bob. I'm an English boy. But now I'm in China with my parents Jack and Helen, and my sister Sally.
　　In China, November 11th (11. 11) is a special day. Many people buy a lot of things on Taobao. This year, my mother buys some things for us. They are a quilt, four jackets, two cups and a pen. The quilt is blue. It's for me. The yellow jacket is for Sally. The black jacket is for my father and the green jacket is for me. My mother buys herself a red jacket. She likes red very much. The white cup is for Sally and the other cup is for my father. It's green. The pen is black. It's for Sally.
　　My mother likes shopping on Taobao. She says it's convenient because she doesn't need to go out. What do you think of it? Tell me about your idea.

15．　　We buy vegetables in the supermarket. But students at Dalton Middle School in Georgia, US, may no longer (不再) need a supermarket! Tomatoes, green peppers and other vegetables are growing outside the doors of a science classroom at school.
　　Seventh-grade science teacher Sarah Ott has a vegetable garden. Her spring students planted vegetable seeds in the garden. Her autumn students enjoy the vegetables.
　　The students pick, water and watch the vegetables grow. The school garden is a good chance (机会) for them to learn how to grow plants.
　　Seventh-grader Habibah Bikhit says she loves to work in the school garden.
　　"It's because we just get to pick and look at all the beautiful vegetables and the flowers," she says.
　　A class of language learners also join them. Ott says it is also a good way for them to learn English words, because they can connect (联系) the words with real things.
　　You would be surprised at how much the kids can learn from it.

17．　　Most countries celebrate (庆祝) Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May. It is a day when children thank their mothers. On that day, they always buy cards, gifts and flowers to thank their mothers.
　　Here are some ideas for you to express (表达) love to your mother on that day. A nice way to make your mom feel happy is to send her a warm Mother's Day SMS (short message service). You may send it to her every day for a week, or send it every a few hours on Mother's Day. She will be happy.
　　Mothers will get tired and bored of working in the kitchen all through the year too. Give your mother a rest for a day and make a meal for her. Surprise her with a delicious Mother's Day special breakfast, or you can give your mum a cup of tea with a bunch of beautiful flowers.
　　You know your mum is the greatest in the world. Then why don't you say it in a letter? In the letter, you can say how much you love her and that she is the best mum in the world. This will really get your mum moved (感动的).
