Hi! I’m Tony. I don’t like to get up early. In

breakfast, so I usually eat very
quickly. For

sometimes play
basketball for half an hour.
When I get home, I always do my homework first. In

Jane: How
far is it from your home to school?

get to school?
Jane: About 15 minutes by bike.
It’s good exercise.
Lisa: Yeah. Well, have a
good day at school.
Jane: You, too.
Crossing the river to school
How do you
get to school? Do you walk or ride a bike? Do you
go by bus or by train?
For many students, it
is easy to get to school. But for the students in
one small village
in China, it is difficult.
There is a very big river between their school and
the village.
There is no bridge and the river
runs too quickly for boats. So these students go
on a
ropeway to cross the river to school.
One 11-year-old boy, Liangliang, crosses the
river every school day. But he is not
afraid
because he loves school. “I love to play with my
classmates. And I love my
teacher. He’s like a
father to me.” Many of the students and villagers
never leave the
village. It is their dream to
have a bridge. Can their dream come true?
Unit 4 Don’t eat in class
John: Hi, my
name’s John. It’s my first day at school.
Alice: Hi, John. I’m Alice. This is a great
school, but there are a lot of rules.
John:
Really? What are some of the rules?
Alice:
Well, don’t be late for class. This is very
important.
John: OK, so we must be on time.
Can we bring music players to school?
Alice:
No, we can’t. and we always have to wear the
school uniform.
John: I see.
Alice:
Oh, and we also have to be quite in the library.
Dear Dr. Know,
There are too many
rules! At 6:00 a.m., my mom says, “Get up now and
make your
bed!” After breakfast, my mom always
says, “Don’t leave the dirty dishes in the
kitchen!” After that, I run to school because
I can’t be late. At school, we have more
rules--- don’t be noisy, don’t eat in class, …
My dad says I can’t play basketball after
school because I must do my homework. I
can
play only on weekends. After dinner, I can’t relax
either. I must read a book
before I can watch
TV. But I have to go to bed before 10:00. Rules,
rules, rules! It’s
terrible! What can I do,
Dr. Know?
Molly Brown, New York
Dear
Molly,
I know how you feel. People always
tells us, “Don’t do this!” or “You can’t do that!”
But think about it, Molly. There are a lot of
things you can do. You can play basketball
on
weekends. You can watch TV after you read a book.
Parents and schools are
sometimes strict but
remember, they make rules to help us. We have to
follow them.
Good luck!
Dr. Know
Unit 5 Why do you like pandas?
Jenny: Your
dos is really cute, Peter!
Peter: He’s my new
pet, Dingding. He’s very smart.
Jenny: Really?
What can he do?
Peter: He can walk on two
legs. He can dance, too.
Jenny: Wow!
Peter: Does your family have a pet?
Jenny:
My mom has a big cat, but I don’t like her.
Peter: Why don’t you like the cat?
Jenny:
Well, because she’s kind of boring. She sleeps all
day, and her name is Lazy.
Peter: Haha, then
that’s a good name for her!
Hello. We are
students from Thailand, and we want to save the
elephants. The
elephant is one of Thailand’s
symbols. Our first flag had a white elephant on
it. This is
a symbol of good luck.
Elephants are smart animals. They can play
soccer or music. They can also draw very
well.
People say that “an elephant never forgets”.
Elephants can walk for a long time
and never
gets lost. They can also remember places with food
and water. This helps
them to live.
But
elephants are in great danger. People cut down
many trees so elephants are losing
their
homes. People also kill elephants for their ivory.
Today there are only about
3000 elephants
(over 100,000 before). We must save the trees and
not buy things
made of ivory. Remember
that March 13
th
is Thai Elephant Day.
Unit 6 I’m watching TV
Jenny: Hello? This
is Jenny.
Laura: Hi, Jenny. It’s Laura here.
Jenny: Oh, hi, Laura. What are you doing?
Laura: Not much. I’m just washing my clothes.
What about you?
Jenny: I’m watching TV. Do you
want to join me for dinner? My parents aren’t at
home. We can eat out.
Laura: Yeah. I’d
love to.
Jenny: Let’s meet at my home first.
Come at half past six.
Laura: OK. See you
then.
Today’s story is about Zhu Hui, a
student from Shenzhen. He’s now studying in the
United States. He’s living with an American
family in New York. Today is the Dragon
Boat
Festival. It’s 9:00 a.m. and Zhu Hui’s family are
at home. His mom and aunt are
making zongzi.
His dad and uncle are watching the boat races on
TV.
Is Zhu Hui also watching the races and
eating zongzi? Well, it’s 9:00 p.m. in New
York, and it’s the night before the festival.
But there isn’t a Dragon Boat Festival in
the
US, so it’s like any other night for Zhu Hui and
his host family. The mother is
reading a story
to her young children. The father is watching a
soccer game on TV.
And what’s Zhu Hui doing?
He’s talking on the phone to his cousin in
Shenzhen. Zhu
Hui misses his family and wishes
to have his mom’s delicious zongzi. Zhu Hui likes
New York and his host family a lot, but
there’s still “no place like home”.
Unit

Rick: Hello, Rick speaking.
Steve: Hi, Rick. It’s Steve. How’s it going?
Rick: Not bad, thanks. The weather’s great.
What are you doing?
Steve: I’m playing
basketball with some friends at the park.
Rick: Sounds like you’re having a good time.
Steve: Yeah. Is your brother at home?
Rick: Oh, he’s not here. He’s studying at his
friend’s home. Can I take a message for
him?
Steve: Yes. Could you just tell him to call me
back?
Rick: Sure, no problem.
Dear
Jane,
How’s it going? I’m having a great time
visiting my aunt in Canada. She’s working
here
and I’m going to summer school. I’m studying
English and I’m learning a lot.
I’m also
visiting some of my old friends. I’m so happy to
see them again. It’s
afternoon right now, and
I’m sitting by the pool, and drinking orange
juice. It’s warm
and sunny, and it’s very
relaxing here.
See you soon.
Su Lin
Dear Jane,
How’s your summer vacation
going? Are you studying hard, or are you having
fun?
I’m having a great time in Europe! My
family and I are on a vacation in the
mountains. I want to call you but my phone
isn’t working, so I’m writing to you. It’s
hot
in your country now, isn’t it? The weather here is
cool and cloudy, just right for
walking.
See you next month.
Dave
Unit 8 Is there a post office near here?
Tony: Hi, excuse me.
Linda: Yes. How can I
help you?
Tony: Well, I’m new in town. Is
there a bank around here?
Linda: Yes, there
is. It’s on Center Street. It’s across from the
park.
Tony: Oh… where’s Center Street?
Linda: It’s not too far from here. I can walk
with you.
Tony: Oh, that’s great! Thanks so
much.
Linda: No problem.
Anna
There is a zoo in my neighborhood. I like to
spend time there on weekends. I love to
watch
the monkeys climbing around. The monkeys sometimes
fight. They look like
my friends and me when
we fight!
To get there, I usually walk out and
turn right on Bridge Road. Then I walk along
Bridge Road. The zoo is on the right.
John
I live near a supermarket. My parents usually
shop there. There is a big park across
from
the supermarket. I often exercise at the park
because I love the clean air and
sunshine. The
best things in life are free!
To get to the
park, you just have to cross Center Street.
Lisa
I live in a noisy neighborhood. There
is a post office between my house and a clothes
store. But my favorite place is the library.
It is very quiet and I enjoy reading there.
When I read books, time goes quickly!
You
can get to the library easily. Just go down North
Road and turn left. It is across
from the
park.
Unit 9 What does he look like?
Mike: Hi, Tony. Are you going to the movie
tonight?
Tony: Yes. We’re meeting at seven,
right?
Mike: Yeah, but I may be a little late.
My friend David is going, too. Just meet him in
front of the cinema first.
Tony:
Oh, but I don’t know him. What does he look like?
Mike: Well, he has brown hair and wears
glasses.
Tony: OK. Is he tall or short?
Mike: He isn’t tall or short. He’s of medium
height.
Tony: OK, sure. See you late then.
An interesting job
Joe Brown has
a very interesting job. He is a police artist.
Some people see crimes
and then talk to Joe.
They tell him what the criminal looks like. Then
Joe draws a
picture of the criminal, and the
police put it in newspapers and on television to
find
him.
He wants to draw a good picture
of each criminal, but this job is sometimes
difficult.
Many people don’t always see things
the same way so they may describe the same
person differently. Also, they don’t always
remember well. “The criminal is of
medium
height and young. He has long straight brown hair
and big eyes,” says one
woman. Another woman
says, “He is tall and thin, and he has curly blond
hair. He’s
about thirty years old.” In the
end, the real criminal is a short and heavy old
man, and
he has short black hair!
Unit 10 I’d like some noodles.
Waitress:
Good afternoon. May I take your order?
Sally:
Yes. Are there any vegetables in the beef soup?
Waitress: Yes. There are some tomatoes.
Sally: OK. We’d like one bowl of beef soup.
Waitress: Sure. What size would you like?
Sally: Large, please.
Tom: We’d also like
gongbao chicken and some mapo tofu with rice.
Waitress: OK. One large bowl of beef soup, one
gongbao chicken, and one mapo tofu
with rice.
Tom: Yes, that’s right.
Birthday
food around the world
What would people like
to eat on their birthday? The answer would be
different in
different countries.
In many
countries, people have birthday cakes with
candles. The number of candles is
the person’s
age. The birthday person must make a wish and blow
out the candles. If
he or she blows out all
the candles in one go, the wish will come true. In
the UK,
people sometimes put a candy in a
birthday cake. The child with the candy is lucky.
In China, it is getting popular to have cake
on your birthday. But many people still eat
very long noodles are symbol of long life. In
some places, Chinese people also eat
eggs on their birthday. They are a
symbol of life and good luck.
All of these
birthday foods may be different, but the ideas are
the same. They bring
good luck to the birthday
person.
Unit 11 How was your school trip?
Peter: Hi, Eric. How was your trip last week?
Eric: It was excellent. I visited my
grandparents in the countryside.
Peter: Oh,
nice. What did you do?
Eric: I went fishing
every day. And I fed the chickens with my grandpa.
It was so
much fun.
Peter: Sounds good.
How was the weather there?
Eric: It was great,
and the air was so clean. I watched the stars at
night. They were so
beautiful.
Peter:
Lucky you.
June 15
th
Today I went on a school
trip. We visited the science museum and it was
really
interesting. We got there so fast by
train. We saw some farms and villages along the
way. At the museum, I learned a lot about
robots. I didn’t know they could play chess
with us. It was so cool! Then the guide taught
us how to make a model robot. I took a
lot of
great photos, too. After that, I went to the gift
shop and bought some lovely gifts
for my
parents. They weren’t expensive. All in all, it
was an exciting day.
June 15
th
I think today’s school trip
was terrible. We took the train to the museum. It
was so hot
on the slow train. The museum was
big and boring. Everything was about robots and
I’m not interested in that. The rooms were
really dark and it was difficult to take
photos, so I didn’t take any. There were also
too many people and I couldn’t really see
or
hear the guide. The things in the gift shop were
so expensive. I didn’t like the trip
at all.
Unit 12 What did you do last
weekend?
Paul: Hi, Lisa. How was your weekend?
Lisa: Great, thanks.
Paul: What did you
do?
Lisa: I worked as a guide at the Natural
History Museum.
Paul: Really? How
interesting!
Lisa: Yeah, it was fun. They have
a butterfly house with over 200 kinds of
butterflies!
I told the visitors about them
and their living habits. Did you have a good
weekend?
Paul: Yeah, it was good, but I’m kind
of tired now. I stayed up late to watch the soccer
game.
A weekend to remember
My sister finished high school two
weeks ago. As a special gift, our parents took us
to
India. Last weekend was interesting but
scary.
We went camping in a small village in
India. First, we took a long bus ride to a lake in
the countryside. There we put up our tents and
made a fire to keep us warm and cook
food on.
On the first night, we just sat under the moon and
told each other stories. But
I was so tired
that I went to sleep early.
The next morning,
my sister and I got terrible surprise. When we
looked out of our
tent, we saw a big snake
sleeping near the fire. I was so scared that I
couldn’t move.
We shouted to our parents to
let them know about the danger. My dad started to
jump
up and down in their tent. This woke the
snake up and it moved into the forest near
the
lake. My dad told me later that snakes don’t have
ears but can feel things moving.
He also told
me it was important not to go near a snake. This
was a very useful lesson
for me.
