Time to eat pizza!”“This is really yummy!”After we ate pizza, we played the computer game, too.“Come on! Come on!”“Now, it is time to sleep. Let me turn off the lights.Don’t stay up and talk. You will be tired tomorrow.Good night!”“Good night!”But we couldn’t sleep. We giggled! And giggled!And giggled, again!“Shh! This time, go to sleep! Good night!”“OK. Good night!”We felt very tired! But suddenly, we heard a strangesound by the closet! “What was that?”We were scared.We heard the sound, again!“Ooh!”“There might be a monster in the closet!”“Oh, no!”My friend pulled his blanket over his head.I pulled my blanket over my head, too.“Did you hear that sound, again?”“I’m scared! I want my mommy!”He did not want to look! But soon, it was quiet.So, I peeked out from under the covers.“Guess what?It is just your guinea pig!”It got out of its cage.We both laughed!But soon, we both snored!!The next morning, my mom came to pick me up.“Was it fun?” ”Terrific! Mom, can I invite Steve to sleepover at my house, next weekend?”“Yes, you can.” “Thank you, Mom.”译文：我的第一次外宿去年秋天，我有了第一次外宿。我夜宿在我的朋友史蒂夫的家。非常好玩！“吉姆，给你睡袋。过得开心！”“明天见，妈妈。”“嗨，吉姆！让我们滑我们的单排溜冰鞋。”“好的，史蒂夫！让我们在人行道上滑。”“嘿！看我转圈！”“呀！看我跳跃！”后来，史蒂夫的妈妈叫我们进房间。“进来！到了吃匹萨饼的时间了！”“这个真的很好吃！”在我们吃了匹萨以后，我们也玩了电脑游戏。“冲啊！冲啊！”“现在，到时间睡觉了。让我关上灯。”不要起来和谈话。否则你们明天会疲倦的。晚安！”“晚安！”但是我们睡不着。我们咯咯笑！咯咯笑！咯咯笑！“嘘！是时间睡觉了！晚安！”“好的。晚安！”我们感到很累！但是忽然，我们听到壁柜附近有奇怪的声音。“那是什么？”我们害怕了。我们再次听到这个声音！“哦！”“也许有一只妖怪在壁柜里面！”“哦， 不！”我的朋友把毛毯拉过他的头。我也把我的毛毯拉过我的头。“你又听到那个声音了么？””我害怕了！我要我的妈妈！”他不想去看！但是很快，安静了。于是，我从毯子下面往外偷偷看。“猜是什么？它只是你的豚鼠！”它从它的笼子跑出来了。我们都笑了！但是很快，我们都打鼾了！第二天早上，我的妈妈来接我。“有趣么？”“好极了！妈妈，我能邀请史蒂夫下个周末在我的房子夜宿么？”“好的，你可以。”“谢谢你，妈妈”

英语小故事One day, a teacher took his pupils to a chicken farm to pay a visit. When they came near the incubator, chick just got out of its egg shell. 一天，老师带学生到养鸡场参观，当他们走近孵化器时，刚好一只小鸡破壳而出。 "It's wonderful to see a little thing come out from the egg shell, isn't it？" the teacher said. “看见一个小生命从蛋壳里出来，岂不是很奇妙的吗？”老师说。 "Yes, sir." said one of the boys, " but it would be more wonderful if we knew how a chick gets in to its eggs hell before hand." “是的，老师。”一个男学生说，“可是，如果我们知道它是怎样事先钻进蛋壳里的那就更奇妙了。”

"When I say, 'Good afternoon,' the undergraduates respond, 'Good afternoon." But the graduate students just write it down."

“研究生班和本科生很容易就能区别开来，”在洛杉矶加利福利亚州立大学给我们研究生上工程学课的老师如此说。“我说‘下午好’，本科生们回答说‘下午好’。研究生们则把我说的话记在笔记本上。”
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that a whale swallowed Jonah.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said,“When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.”
The teacher asked,“What if Jonah went to hell?”
The little girl replied,“Then you ask him.”
一个小女孩和她的老师正在谈论有关鲸鱼的事情。
她的老师说：“一头鲸鱼从身体构造的角度看，是不可能吞掉一个人的.。因为尽管鲸鱼是一种非常巨大的哺乳动物，可它的嗓子非常小。”
那个小女孩说：“约拿(一位西伯来先知)就是被鲸鱼吞掉的。”
她的老师非常生气，她再次告诉小女孩说：“从身体构造角度来讲，鲸鱼是不可能吞掉一个人的。”
那个小女孩说：“那等我到了天堂，就去问问约拿。”
她的老师问：“那么，假如约拿下了地狱怎么办?”
那个小女孩回答：“如果是那样的话，你就去问他。”
