（二）My Neighbourhood

I live in a very nice neighbourhood. It's not very big, but it's very clean and beautiful. It's a good place to live.

There are many places for people to have fun and relax in the neighbourhood. There is a big swimming pool. I go swimming twice a week. My neighbourhood also has a basketball court. People often play basketball and have basketball matches there. There is a big supermarket too. It is easy for people to buy all kinds of things. Most of the things in the supermarket are not expensive. My neighbours are very friendly and helpful. Some of them are volunteers. They have different skills. They help people with all kinds of problems at the weekend.

I am lucky to live in a neighbourhood like this.

We live in a wonderful world with a lot of amazing things. Our eyesare the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stopgrowing.There are no bones in the back of elephants' feet，only fat. A black beetle(甲虫) can live for nine days without its head. After nine days it dies because itis too hungry. A giraffe can't cough and a pig can't look up at the sky. Anelephant can stand after it dies. An ostrich’s(鸵鸟)eyes are bigger than itshead.A snail can sleep for three years without any food. Don't you thinkthey are amazing?
