上次的考试小桃考得很好，题都做完了，得了第一名。 妈妈很高兴，所以给她做了很多好吃的，有鸡肉、鱼、蔬菜，还有她最爱吃的西红柿炒鸡蛋。妈妈说吃鸡蛋对身体好，有营养。 这个周末，哥哥生病了，因为天气太冷了。所以爸爸让他多喝热水，好好休息，不要喝茶。妈妈经常忘记东西，今天早上她找不到自己的手机了，小桃帮她在电脑旁边找到的。 哥哥比小桃大六岁，他很喜欢唱歌，也喜欢下象棋。他经常和朋友一起去唱歌。他唱歌唱得很好听。这个学期（semester），他们班来了一个新的英语老师，长得很漂亮，姓王，叫芳芳。 今天下班后，妈妈买了一些苹果，苹果两块五一斤，比昨天便宜。天气真冷，明天可能会下雪。妈妈让小桃多穿点衣服。哥哥就是衣服穿得太少才生病的。晚上，妈妈做了米饭、粥和白菜豆腐。妈妈说小桃吃得太少了，应该多吃一点。妈妈做饭做得很好吃，爸爸比妈妈做得更好吃。所以爸爸应该经常做饭。 听妈妈说，小桃的表哥有女朋友了，长着两个大眼睛，皮肤很白，非常爱笑，是个很好的女孩儿。表哥今年25岁了，在银行上班，长得也很帅，个子一米八，所以他们真是郎才女貌。 妈妈说他们每个星期都去电影院看电影，因为表哥的女朋友很喜欢看电影，很有意思，他们这个周末还想去。 这个星期天气很好，每天都是晴天，但是很冷。快过年了，爸妈每天都有很多事情要做，要买很多年货。虽然商店里的东西不便宜，但是质量还不错。妈妈给小桃买了一件外套，两百多，小桃很喜欢。 新年就要到了，小桃全家准备去广东旅游，因为广东是南方，很暖和，冬天有二十多度。他们已经定好了飞机票。 北京快要下雪了，时间过得真快，一年又要过去了，希望明年会更好！ 西红柿炒鸡蛋：scrambled eggs with tomatoes 营养：nutrition 表哥：cousin from mothers’ side 个子：height 年货：stocking 白菜豆腐：toufu with cabbage 就是。。。才：…. Is just that…., because…. 郎才女貌：idiom, a perfect match between a man and a girl （the beauty and the geek）
