It is October now. The autumn season in Binhai City is mild and pleasant. The weather is always fine. The sky and the sea look clear and beautiful. People like to be close to nature in autumn. Some like to go to the country. They enjoy the beautiful scenery there. They may also join the farmers in harvesting. They can pick fruits or get in the wheat. Others like to spend their weekends at the beach. They may enjoy a family picnic there. They may also swim in the sea and play ball games on the fine sands. Now Mr. Green and his students are planning to go to the beach.



Mr. Green:   It's such a fine day today.
          Lily:   Yeah.   Autumn is always a nice season here.
Mr. Green:   Why don't we go for a picnic at the beach?
Xiao Yang:   Yes, let's! We may also have a swim in the sea.
          Lily:   Swim? Isn't the water too cold?
Xiao Yang:   Not really. You girls can prepare the food for the
                    picnic.
           Lily:  OK. I'm good at cooking.
 Mr. Green:  Great! Let's get prepared now.
