There are cars on the street after work.

    Tom's father has a big farm. On New Year's Day, his father asked him, "Could you work on the farm when you're free this year, Tom？"

    "Farming is not my work, Dad. I have much schoolwork to do, "Tom wasn't glad at it.

    "If you help me work on the farm, I will give you anything you want."

    "OK, "Tom agreed happily.

    So Tom gets up early and works hard on the farm in his free time this year, just like other farmers. His wheat grows very well.

    Time flies. Today is the last day of the year, December 31st. The father is talking with his son.

    "I'm happy to see you work hard on the farm. Tom, now tell me what you want as the gift."

    Tom shows his father a big piece of bread. He makes it with the wheat on his farm. "I have already gotten(已经得到)your gift, Dad. You're trying to give me a lesson-no pain, no gain. Right?"

Wang Lin's Diary

    Oct. 8th

    October 1st is our National Day. It was Sunday. In the morning, our teacher took us to the park. Oh, there were many people. Everywhere we could see flags(旗帜) and flowers. We saw people dancing in the park. We had a good time.

    This morning I did some cleaning. Then I went to school. In the class, our teacher told us a very interesting story. It was about a French scientist Ampere. Once he was walking in the street. He began to work at a problem on a "blackboard" with a piece of chalk. But it was not a blackboard. It was the back of a carriage(马车). Ampere didn't notice(注意) it at all. How hard he worked at his problem!

    In the evening, it became cloudy. It's going to rain tomorrow, I think.

—Thank you.

—Sure. It's easy.
