My name is Sue. I want to have a special party to celebrate my 12th birthday. After discussing it with my family, I decided to have a Hello Kitty theme birthday party.

My mom tells me to send out the invitations 3～5 weeks before the date of the party. My birthday party is on December 21, so I will send out the invitations before November 24.

One day a farmer went out for a walk with his daughter. The farmer put on a pair of wrong shoes－one with a thick sole(鞋底) and the other with a thin one. So as he began to walk, he felt very uncomfortable. When he was just out of the house, he turned to his daughter and said, “Why should one of my legs be longer than the other today?”
The daughter looked at his father’s legs carefully as he was walking, and then laughed, “Oh, no, Daddy, your legs are all right. You have put on the wrong shoes.”
The farmer was very happy to hear that and said to himself, “What a clever daughter I have got!” Then he asked his daughter to go back and get the other pair of shoes for him.
The farmer had only two pairs of shoes.
When the daughter ran back to the house, she found that the other pair was also a pair of wrong shoes.

Ben Jones was walking home from school one day when he saw a black cat. It was walking across the
srteet in front of him.Ben stopped, turned around, and walked down a different srteet to go home. Why did he do that?
"It's unlucky when a black cat crossed the street in front of you," says Ben, "I did not want to walk down that street!"
Many people think that some things bring bad luck or good luck. For example, some people think that 13 is an unlucky number. They never invite 13 people to a party.
"I never walk under a ladder (梯子)," says Ben. "And I never open an umbrella inside the house. They both bring bad luck."
And what brings good luck? "We have a horseshoe over the front door of our house for good luck," says Ben."And when I find a peney on the ground, I always pick it up. That brings me good luck all day!"

Mr Black said to him, “Do you think we are going to have rain today?” “No,” said the old man, “I don't think so.” “Then are you carrying the umbrella because the sun is too hot?” “No, the sun is not very hot in spring.”
Mr Black looked at the big umbrella again, and the man said, “I am an old man, and my legs are not very strong. I must have a walking-stick (手杖). But people will say, ‘Look!
