三十3、 Jimmy and His Sons Funny Stories
Jimmy is our new neighbor. He speaks with strange accent, but we like to talk with him. He told me an interesting story about himself.
He said he liked growing flowers in his garden in his spare time. And one Sunday morning, after breakfast he put on his old clothes and began digging in his garden. He dug and dug. After half an hour he suddenly found a coin near his foot. He put it in his right pocket. A few minutes later, he found another one. He put it in the same pocket, too. The same thing happened for the third, the fourth and the fifth time. He was very happy and told his wife about it. She was very happy, too. She said,A thief stole a lot of coins from a shop a few days ago. The police caught him but they didnt find any coins.
Then Jimmy went on digging and found some more coins, but just when he began to dig, he felt something cold in his trousers. It ran down one of his legs. He put his hand down quickly and the coin came into his hand. Now he knew there was a hole in his pocket.
Jimmy also told me something even funnier about his son, Jack. One day he took his son Jack to a boys clothing shop. That shop was giving away（赠送）balloons to buyers children. Jack asked if he might have two balloons.Sorry,the salesperson said,but we give only one balloon to each child. Do you have a brother at home?Jack was always honest. He didnt tell lies, but he wanted another balloon badly.No.he replied regretfully,but my sister has a brother, and Id like one for him.
What a lovely boy Jack is!

吉米和他儿子的有趣故事
吉米是大家的新邻居。他讲话携带奇怪的口音，但大家喜欢和他交谈。他告诉过我一个关于他一个人的有趣故事。
他说他喜欢在空闲的时间在他的花园里种花。一个星期天的早上，吃过早饭后，他穿上旧衣服，就在花园里开始挖土。他挖啊挖，半个小时后，忽然他发现脚边有一枚硬币。他把硬币放进右侧的衣服口袋里。几分钟后，他又发现了另一枚。他还是放入同一个口袋。相同的事情又发生了，第三次、第四次、第五次。他特别高兴，然后告诉了他的老婆。她也非常高兴，她说，几天前有个小偷从一家商店里偷走好多硬币。警察抓住他但没找到硬币。
然后吉米继续挖。找到了更多的硬币，但就在他开始挖掘时，他感觉有哪些凉凉的东西掉进他的裤子里。这个东西顺着他的腿往下滑。他飞速放手手硬币在他手上了。目前他了解了他的口袋里有个洞。
吉米还告诉我一个更有趣的故事，是关于他儿子杰克的。一天，他携带儿子杰克去一家男生服饰店。那家门店正在给客户的孩子赠送气球。杰克问是不是他可以得到两个气球。对不起，销售说，每一个孩子大家只给一个。你家有弟弟吗？杰克一直是诚实的。他不撒谎话，但他很想再要一个气球，于是他颇感遗憾地说，没，但我姐姐有一个弟弟，我想为他要一个。
杰克真是个可爱的男生！?
三十4、 Buying a House
As house prices have risen too much these years, many people find it hard to afford a house. But all the people who do not have a house dream of the day when theyll pick up the keys to their own home. The idea of owning a home is wonderful.
Buying a house will cosplayt you a lot of money, so never do it in a hurry. Whatever themarket condition is, when you are planning to buy a house，there are many things to consider，whatever your intention is, to buy or only rent. After all, it is going to be your home, perhaps for quite a long time, and you want to be happy with it. You have to decide correctly what kind of house you want, how much you can afford to pay, and the type of area you wish to live in. However, its always easy to forget all above, because its most probably that youll fall in love with the house for sale when you first see it.

买房
这类年因为房价上涨过多，很多人发现非常难买得起房屋。但所有无房者都梦想有一天拿起他们自己家的钥匙。拥有一个家的想法太美妙了。
买房会花费你不少钱，因此决不可以匆忙。无论市场条件怎么样，你在计划购房时都要考虑不少事情，无论你的意图怎么样，买还是只租。毕竟这要成为你的家了，可能会在里面住上非常长一段时间，你当然想高兴地在房屋里生活。那样，你需要正确地做决定，你想要哪种房屋，你能担负得起哪种房屋，与你期望住在什么种类的地区。然而，大家又比较容易忘记以上所有问题，由于非常可能当你首次看到供应中的房屋，你就会爱上它。
