Joe didn't know how to swim until he was seven years old. When he was a little child, he often went fishing with his grandfather. But one day, Joe fell into the river and shouted "Help! Help! His grandfather was too old to swim. At that time, a young man jumped into the river and saved him from the river. From then on, Joe decided to learn to swim.
Now Joe likes swimming very much. It's a good way to relax (放松). He goes to the swimming pool once a week. He often goes swimming with his parents or friends on weekends.
The old washing machine didn't work any more. Lisa's mother bought a new one. It was going to be delivered(送达)on Friday.
When Friday came, Lisa and her cousin Lily waited for the new machine. They were excited because they wanted to play with the big box. As soon as the washing machine was out of the box, Lisa and Lily took out some paints and painted all over the box. They turned it into a pink, red, yellow and blue house. Then it was a colourful car. After that, they cut out a square and made it into a TV. They acted out their favourite TV shows for the family.
It was a fun day for everyone.
