Folding Paper on Weekends
Boys and girls, what did you do last weekend? There are many things you could do. Some boys went out to play soccer or tennis and some girls just stayed at home and did some reading. Now it's time to do something new on weekends. A French young man Eric Joisel has his own idea about that.
Eric Joisel in Paris, France, is interested in paper folding (折纸). Not like others, he doesn't think it is just for children. He spent many weekends in folding paper. Then he held his first origami show in Paris. The word "origami" is from Japanese. It is the art of folding paper into different shapes (形状) like flowers and animals.
Paper folding is now very popular around the world. Many people love doing it. Would you like to have a try next weekend?
My name is Peter. I come from London. I have two good friends. They are Linda and Bob.
Last Sunday, it was sunny and hot. We went to the mountains by bike. We played with water, took some photos and ran after some butterflies. How happy we were! Suddenly, Linda shouted loudly. Oh, she saw a snake. "Don't shout. It's very normal to see snakes in mountains." Bob said to her.
In the afternoon, we began to climb the mountain. When we were on the half way, it began to rain. Linda and I were very scared. And we began to cry. Bob asked us to be calm (冷静的).
With his help, we climbed down the mountain safely. Later, we went back home after the rain stopped. I think Bob is very brave (勇敢的). Do you think so?

I stayed at home and studied the whole weekend. I studied for the math test on Saturday. Yesterday, I wrote a history paper. In the evening, I talked to my friend on the phone. I didn't think my weekend was interesting. What did you do, Tony? |

Oh, your weekend was great. But I had a boring weekend. I had to stay at home. I cleaned my room and washed my clothes. I helped my mother cook dinner. Did you go out, Jack? |
|
Jack |
No, I didn't. I also stayed at home and I watched TV. Yesterday I watched a cartoon called Peppa Pig. It was very interesting. I had a good time. |
Sunday Rainy
Today is Sunday and the weather is very terrible. It's raining all day. There are no people playing in the park. And there is no one walking on the street. It's so quiet. The bad weather makes me sad (悲伤的). Many people are watching TV at home. On the street there are a few buses and cars. They are running slowly. The rain will stop on Wednesday. The sun will come out. And I wish to play with my friends outside on that day.
Wednesday Sunny
It's Wednesday today. The rain stops. We are so happy to play outside. Look! There are so many people in the park. Some boys are playing basketball. Two girls are taking photos. A little child is learning to walk with the help of his parents. My classmates are swimming in the river. It's cool. Everyone is having a great time. I like sunny weather. How about you?
