B
Hi! I'm Andrew Watson and I am ten. I live in Swainby with my parents and my little brother John.
I think clothes and fashion are always among the most interesting topics. Women and girls are very interested in them. Men and boys also love wearing nice modern clothes, boots or shoes.
As you know, people wear different clothes for different activities. Many people say, "Everything is good in its season." And we must choose the right clothes because what is good at the sports ground isn't good for a party or school.
At school I always wear my $\boldsymbol{\Delta}$, I change my school clothes for $\boldsymbol{\Delta}$ when I come home. When I go in for sports, I wear my sports clothes and $\boldsymbol{\Delta}$. In the evening after a shower, I put on my $\boldsymbol{\Delta}$ and go to bed.
People also say, "There's no bad weather, only bad clothes." And we choose different clothes for each season. In winter when it is cold, I put on warm clothes: a down coat, gloves and boots. When the weather is cool, I wear my wool sweater, a jacket and jeans. In hot summer, I wear cotton T-shirts and shorts. When it is raining, I usually wear a raincoat and boots. But I have to tell you that my mum buys clothes for me. I love my clothes because they are very beautiful.

C
The Chinese pingfeng (folding screen) is an ancient invention and traditional Chinese furniture(家具). Its earliest common use dates from the Han Dynasty. The term pingfeng means protection from wind, showing its purpose at the very beginning.
As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colourful paintings. On screens usually appears a dragon. It's a symbol of light, growth and life-giving water. It also stands for nobility(高贵的品质) and power. The peacock, a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens too. It's a symbol of everlasting life. Beautiful flowers, which mean wealth and good luck, are also chosen as a popular design of the pingfeng. All the designs carry people's beautiful wishes.
Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story. In the past, the unmarried daughter of a rich family was not supposed to see or be seen by men except her father, brothers or very close male cousins. When an admirer paid a visit, however, she might take a secret look at him from a screen behind which she would be completely hidden. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create one. If the daughter and her father were satisfied with the young man's poem and his looks, she might agree to take him as a husband.
Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical(实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall or divider, it can be the perfect match for modern sofas and walls, which adds style to them.
The pingfeng is more than beautiful furniture.
