First Frenchman: I once heard someone shout, “Look out.” I put my head out of a window and a bucket (桶) of water fell on me. It seems that “Look out” may mean “Don’t look out.” Second Frenchman: I was once on a ship and heard the captain shout, “All hands on deck (甲板).I put my hands on the deck and someone walked on them.” Third Frenchman: I once went early in the morning to the doctor’s and his nurse came to the door and said, “He’s not up yet. Come back in half an hour.” When I went a second time for him, she said, “He’s not down yet.” I had to go away again. Later I thought the doctor should be in the house in the evening, so I went there once more. “Oh, how sorry I am! He’s not in! I’d better tell him to wait for you if you could come tomorrow.” said the nurse. “Well! He’s not up, he is not down, and he is not in. Please tell me where he stays!” I said angrily.

I think the Buddy Club is great. I really enjoy talking with the older students about school life and growing up. They can tell me a lot. One student told me how he relaxed (放松) before exams. Another student told me about great websites about learning History and English.
The Buddy Club is also a good place to just forget about school altogether! One of the older students taught us origami (日本折纸). We made paper planes, birds and hats together.
The table tennis tournament（锦标赛) was a great idea. I didn’t do very well, but I learnt a lot from watching the doubles tournament won by a fourteen-year-old girl and a seventeen-year-old boy.
Last year, we had the annual (每年的) Buddy Club Picnic. Everyone enjoyed the games we played. After I learnt how to fish, I caught two fish in the lake. I think it might be a good idea to change the Buddy Club Picnic to a weekend camping trip. We could learn how to put up tents and how to find our way through a forest. Many of the older students know how to do this already, and I think they would like to teach the younger students.
I want to say again how much I enjoy the club. When I’m older, I will make friends with younger students. Then, I can tell them all about school life and growing up.
