lt was Mary’s birthday, she got a letter from her uncle. Her uncle was a farmer. “Dear Mary,” the letter said, “Happy Birthday. I am sending you some chicks. They will arrive tomorrow. Uncle Tim.”

Mary was very happy. “I can keep the chicks for their eggs or eat them.” she thought. When the chicks arrived the next day, they were in a box, Mary took the box off the truck. Suddenly she dropped it. The box broke. The chicks all ran out. Mary spent hours trying to find them.

A few days later her uncle came to visit her. Mary took her uncle to the garden. “Look, Uncle Tim. Ten chicks are here. I love them very much.” “That’s funny,” Uncle Tim said, “I only give you six chicks.”

What is the sun? The sun is a star. A star is a ball of hot, glowing gas. The sun is the closest star to Earth. That is why we feel its heat and see its bright light. You can’t see the sun on cloudy days. But it is still shining behind the clouds.

People and animals need the sun’s light and heat to stay alive. Plants need sunshine to grow. Their green leaves capture the sun’s energy. They use the sun’s energy to make food. A butterfly’s body needs to be warm so it can fly.

People need the sun's light and heat, too. The warm sunlight makes playing outside possible. It is fun to be outside on sunny days. You can ride a bicycle, swim or play sports.

But sometimes the sun’s rays are strong. They can burn your skin if you are not careful. Then you get sunburn. Here are the tips to help you be smart about playing in the sun.

My name is Chen Jie. I’m from Shanghai. There are four seasons in a year. I like spring best. It’s warm and rainy. The air is clean. The trees are green. The flowers come out. They’re beautiful. I often go for a walking with my parents. I have a friend, Amy. She’s from England. Winter is her favourite season. Because the weather is very cold. It snows there. She can make a snowman with her friends. It’s funny.
