    Have you been to a library lately (最近一段时间)? A library has almost all the books you need. The books tell you your favourite stories. It does not cost money to borrow a book. You need a library card. You can get a card at the front desk. The card will have your name on it.

    Libraries today not only have books. Some have movies. Some have music. You can borrow movies or CDs with your card, too.

    Most libraries have a place just for teenagers. This is the best part of the library. You can ask a librarian for help. A librarian knows where everything is. Librarians can help you find your favourite books, music and movies.

    Suzy looked out of the window. She said, "It is sunny and warm. There is a breeze. It is a perfect day to fly a kite!"

    Suzy called to her brother Mark, "Put on your shoes. Today you will learn to fly a kite!"

    Suzy went to the garage and got her kite. It was red and white.

    "We need a place to run. We will go to the park," Suzy said to Mark.

    "Yippee! I love to run!" shouted Mark.

    Suzy told Mark, "I will tell you what to do. First, hold the kite up. Next, hold the bottom of the kite in one hand. Hold the string with the other hand. Last, run!"

    They both had it a try. "Run, run, run!" yelled Mark. "It goes up!"

    "Now it is in the sky," Suzy said, "we hold the string and let it fly high! When it is time to go home, we will pull the kite down."

    "I love flying a kite," said Mark.

    "I love flying a kite, too," said Suzy.

    "This is the way we fly a kite!" they both cheered (欢呼).

    Swimming is very popular in summer. People like swimming in summer because water makes them feel cool. If you swim in a wrong place, it may not be safe. These years, more than ten people died in this city while they were swimming in the water and most of them were students. But some people are still not careful in swimming. They often think they swim so well that nothing bad can happen to them in the water.

    Summer is here again. If you go swimming, don't forget that better swimmers have died in the water. They died because they were not careful. So don't get into the water when you are alone.  If there is a "No Swimming" sign, don't get into the water, either. If you remember all these, swimming will be safer.
