Welcome to What’s up?
Hi! I’m Tzu-Lee. Today is Sunday and I’m at home,
listening to music. Last week I was on holiday on the beach!
Read about Tzu-Lee.
I had a great time. I swam in the sea and went out with
friends.
School starts tomorrow. At school, my favourite subject
is Science. My best friend is Jack. He’s generous and
friendly.
I’ve got two brothers and I live with my family in a flat
in the city. There is a shopping centre opposite our block.
I often go there on Saturdays to look at the shops or see
a film.
My favourite animal is black and white. It isn’t
aggressive. It’s a bear, but it doesn’t hibernate. Can you
guess the animal? Yes! It’s the panda bear and we must
protect it because it’s in danger.
Next Friday is my birthday. It’s my favourite special day
because my friends and grandparents come home and
give me presents!
