Story
，。，。。，。，。，。
Today a family arrived. They are going to live here; they are new. I saw that their family has a child. He looked at me, and I looked at him. At first, neither of us said anything. I wanted to say hello to him, but I did not say it.
：，。。。，：。：，。
Mum said: They are new here, let's go and say hi. Mum and I went to their home. Mum took some things over to them. The mother of that family was very happy and said: Thank you. Mum said: You're welcome, we are all one family.
。。，。，。
That child is called Xiao Ming. He played together with me. We played with lots of things and talked about a lot. After playing for a long while, we became very good friends.
，。。，。，。。
Afterwards, our family and their family got on well. Mum and his mum became good friends too. Everyone ate together and played together. Having new friends is really nice. Today is a good day.
