not buy expensive things. But I had my eyes. I ud to go outside every night
to look at the stars.
There are billions of stars in the sky---but you can only e about 3000 with
your own eyes.
Get a map of the stars and begin to find your way through the sky. In different asons, you can e different groups of stars. The shapes of the groups never change. It is easy to learn the name of each group. When you know the, you
may start to look at the stars inside each group. Not all stars are the same.
Some a re big, and some are small. Some l ook white, some look red and some look blue.
Sometimes, you may e a star move. However, if you e it move from one group to another, then it is not a star but a planet. You are able to e Venus and

A photographer can have a very interesting life. Norman Parkinson was a
famous photographer. He liked travelling to interesting places and taking
photographs. It was his hobby as well as his jop.
Taking photographs is a favourite hobby of many people all over the world. It
can help us remember things. We all love to take photographs of each other,
especially when we travel to new places. We also like to have a photograph of
everybody in the group together. When we want to be in the picture, we need
to ask someone to take the photograph for us.
Having photographs is important becau people and places always changes. It
is very sad, for example, if children cannot look at photographs of their
parents or grandparents. What did Grandfather look like? Where did he u to
live? If we do not have photographs, children may not know the answers to the questions. Photographs help us know and understand our history.
This picture is more than fifty years old .Guangzhou later held the Chine
Export Commodities Fair in this building. Do you think the old picture help
