in bamboo forests, high in the mountains of central China. In the
past, they also lived in other parts of China and in Myanmar and I J

apples, and special panda cakes made of rice, eggs and flour
and other things.

STRANGE HOUSES

B
Most of us live in an apartment or in a house. Our homes often look similar
to our neighbours’ from the outside, but on the inside they can be very
different. Most of us like our homes to be cosy and comfortable, but we have
very different ideas about what that means. Some people like to have bright
colours and lots of furniture, others prefer a cool, modern-looking home.
However, some houses look very unusual from the outside. Have a look at

This is me with my new bike – before the accident! Have you ever fallen off your bike and hurt 127
yourself? Well, here’s my story.
It was my birthday (thanks for all the texts) and this amazing bike was my present. I went for a ride
by myself along the bike path. The path isn’t usually busy. But that day there were two cyclists
coming towards me. I slowed down as quickly as possible but I forgot it was a new bike with good
brakes! I stopped really suddenly and fell off. I hit my ankle and it really hurt. The two cyclists
rode past and didn’t stop. I sat on the ground and watched their backs as they rode away. They
were enjoying themselves too much to think about me! I got up by myself and picked up my bike,
which luckily was OK. My heart was beating fast as I cycled slowly home and people were looking
at me! When I got there I found out why – there was blood all over my T-shirt from a cut on my ear.
