I live in a large house in Los Angeles. It has eight rooms. I like the balcony best. I love to sit there and look out at the beach and sea. It’s cool.

My friend Neil lives in England. His house is big, too. His favourite room is the kitchen. His family and he often sit there and enjoy a cup of tea.

Hi, I am Simon. This is my school. It is very beautiful and modern（时尚）. My classroom is very bright and big.
There are a lot of nice students in my class. Daniel is my best friend. He is good at math. At lunchtime, we often sit under the tree to chat with each other. Peter is my English teacher and he is very good. I like him best and so I like English best.
Our school starts at 8:25 a.m. and is over at 3:45 p.m. Before the first class, we do morning exercises(做早操). All the students have lunch at school. Before school is over, we are all on the playground to have activities（活动）.
I like my school very much.
【小题1】How is Simon’s school?

Four girls were at the same school. They were good friends, so they often studied and played together. They went to school every day by taxi.

One day one of the girls said, “There is a test this morning. Let’s go to school late. Then we won’t have to take the test.” “What can we tell the teacher?” One of the girls said. “He’ll be angry. We’ll need a good excuse.”
The girls thought for several moments, then one of them said, “Let’s tell him that our taxi had a flat tire(爆胎).” “That’s a good idea,” the other girls said. “We’ll tell him that.”
They arrived at school an hour later. The test was finished.
“Why are you late?” the teacher asked. “You miss the test.” “Our taxi had a flat tire,” one of the girls said.
The teacher thought for a moment, then he said, “Sit down, one of you in each corner of the room.” The four girls did this. Then the teacher said, “Write the answer to this question on a piece of paper: Which tire was flat?”
