The Selfish Giant
Oscar Wild
1 Every afternoon, the children play in the Giant's garden. It is a large garden with soft, green grass. Here and there, over the grass, stand beautiful flowers, like stars.
2 The Giant has been away for a long time. One day, he comes back and sees the children in his garden. "What are you doing here?" he shouts in a very angry voice.
3 The children run away. The Giant closes the gate and builds a high wall around the garden. Since then, he hasn't seen a child there.
4 Then spring comes. But in the Giant's garden, it is still winter. There are no birds or flowers. “I cannot understand why spring has not come since last year," says the Giant. “I hope the weather changes soon.”
5 But spring never comes, nor summer. Autumn gives golden fruit to every other garden. But it gives none to the Giant's garden.
6 One morning, the Giant suddenly hears birds singing. “I haven't heard that beautiful birdsong for a while. I believe spring has come at last.” The Giant jumps out of bed and looks outside.
7 The Giant sees a hole in the wall. Also, there is a little child in every tree. And the trees are so glad that they have covered themselves with flowers. The birds fly about and sing with joy. “How selfish I've been!” he says. “Now I know why spring wouldn't come here."
8 He knocks down the wall. The children look afraid. “Fear not, little ones," the Giant says. “It's your garden now."
Adaptation from "The Selfish Giant” by Oscar Wilde
巨人的花园
奥斯卡·王尔德
1每天下午,孩子们都在巨人的花园里玩耍。这是一个有柔软绿草的大花园。草地上到处都是美丽的花朵,像星星一样。
2巨人已经离开很长时间了。有一天,他回来看到孩子们在他的花园里。“你在这里干什么?”他愤怒地喊道。
3孩子们跑了。巨人关上门,在花园周围建了一堵高墙。从那以后,他再也没有在那里见过孩子。
4春天来了。但在巨人的花园里,仍然是冬天。没有鸟也没有花。巨人说:“我不明白为什么从去年开始春天就没来。我希望天气能很快改变。”
5但春天永远不会来,夏天也不会来。秋天给其他花园带来金色的果实。但它没有给巨人的花园带来任何好处。
6一天早晨,巨人突然听到鸟儿在唱歌。“我有一段时间没听到那美妙的鸟鸣了。我相信春天终于来了。”巨人跳下床,向外看去。
7巨人看见墙上有个洞。每棵树上都有一个小孩。树木非常高兴,它们已经开满了花。鸟儿欢快地飞来飞去。“我多么自私啊!”他说。“现在我知道为什么春天不会来了。”
8他推倒了墙。孩子们看起来很害怕。“别害怕,小家伙们,”巨人说,“现在是你们的花园了。”
改编自奥斯卡·王尔德的《自私的巨人》

Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia. I’ve been in Thailand for a few days with my parents. Now we are here for a holiday.
Now we are staying in Bangkok. Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are great! This morning we went shopping. Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry(珠宝)and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace(项链). My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.
Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly. And it’s true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious, but it is sometimes a little spicy(辛辣的)for me. You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn’t as spicy as Thai food. Our American food can also be found in Bangkok. However, I don’t eat it. You know, I’d like to try new things when I travel.
The weather has been very hot. Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler. But today it’s hot again.

The Selfish Giant
Oscar Wild
1 Every afternoon, the children play in the Giant's garden. It is a large garden with soft, green grass. Here and there, over the grass, stand beautiful flowers, like stars.
2 The Giant has been away for a long time. One day, he comes back and sees the children in his garden. "What are you doing here?" he shouts in a very angry voice.
3 The children run away. The Giant closes the gate and builds a high wall around the garden. Since then, he hasn't seen a child there.
4 Then spring comes. But in the Giant's garden, it is still winter. There are no birds or flowers. “I cannot understand why spring has not come since last year," says the Giant. “I hope the weather changes soon.”
5 But spring never comes, nor summer. Autumn gives golden fruit to every other garden. But it gives none to the Giant's garden.
6 One morning, the Giant suddenly hears birds singing. “I haven't heard that beautiful birdsong for a while. I believe spring has come at last.” The Giant jumps out of bed and looks outside.
7 The Giant sees a hole in the wall. Also, there is a little child in every tree. And the trees are so glad that they have covered themselves with flowers. The birds fly about and sing with joy. “How selfish I've been!” he says. “Now I know why spring wouldn't come here."
8 He knocks down the wall. The children look afraid. “Fear not, little ones," the Giant says. “It's your garden now."
Adaptation from "The Selfish Giant” by Oscar Wilde
巨人的花园
奥斯卡·王尔德
1每天下午,孩子们都在巨人的花园里玩耍。这是一个有柔软绿草的大花园。草地上到处都是美丽的花朵,像星星一样。
2巨人已经离开很长时间了。有一天,他回来看到孩子们在他的花园里。“你在这里干什么?”他愤怒地喊道。
3孩子们跑了。巨人关上门,在花园周围建了一堵高墙。从那以后,他再也没有在那里见过孩子。
4春天来了。但在巨人的花园里,仍然是冬天。没有鸟也没有花。巨人说:“我不明白为什么从去年开始春天就没来。我希望天气能很快改变。”
5但春天永远不会来,夏天也不会来。秋天给其他花园带来金色的果实。但它没有给巨人的花园带来任何好处。
6一天早晨,巨人突然听到鸟儿在唱歌。“我有一段时间没听到那美妙的鸟鸣了。我相信春天终于来了。”巨人跳下床,向外看去。
7巨人看见墙上有个洞。每棵树上都有一个小孩。树木非常高兴,它们已经开满了花。鸟儿欢快地飞来飞去。“我多么自私啊!”他说。“现在我知道为什么春天不会来了。”
8他推倒了墙。孩子们看起来很害怕。“别害怕,小家伙们,”巨人说,“现在是你们的花园了。”
