I'm Katy. I have many good friends, and Jema is one of them. I'm in Class Six, and Jema is in Class Eight. We first met in our school tennis club. Both (两个) of us like playing tennis, and we often practice together.
I often visit Jema on the weekend: Sometimes we swim in the pool or go shopping with our friend Sarah. She is in our school dance club and dances beautifully. I went to Jema's house today. It was raining, so we couldn't go out.
"Let's watch a movie," Jema said. "You're my guest (客人), Katy, so you can pick it."
I picked a movie called Dance of Joy. It's about a girl called Susan who likes to dance. Susan has a cat named Albert. Albert chews (咬) her dancing shoes, so she can' t dance anymore. Luckily, she gets a new pair of dancing shoes. Albert surprises Susan by bringing her the new shoes in his mouth. It is a wonderful happy ending.
I told Jema I loved the movie. She laughed and said she found it quite boring. She only kept watching it because I was enjoying it so much. I felt a little bad about it, but it's nice to have a good friend like Jema.
As a first grader, the last thing on Kylie' s mind was to be an inventor (发明家) . When she made a board game (棋类游戏) about Ladybug (瓢虫) for her science class, the student from Pleasanton, California, thought it would just make her homework fun. Now her board game the Ladybug Game goes into many stores in America. Kylie is happy to talk to WR News about her invention.
(WR=WR News; K=Kylie)
WR: How did you get the idea for the Ladybug Game?
K: I just did it for Mrs. Ditto's science class. We had to make something to tell our classmates about insects (昆虫). I really like board games and I play them a lot. So I made a board game myself.
WR: Why ladybugs?
K: I like their colors. Ladybugs come in many different colors. And I think they have a cool life cycle (生命周期).
WR: Your dad took your game to a friend and the friend helped more people know it. How did you feel when you heard that going to sell your board game?
K: It was really cool. When I got into some stores sometimes the people said "You're the girl on the box!"
WR: Do you think you will invent some other things someday?
K: I don't know, but I'm sure that it will be fun.
