I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my
family. It was sunny and hot, so we decided to go to the
beach near our hotel. My sister and I tried paragliding.
I felt like I was a bird. It was so exciting! For lunch,
we had something very special ——Malaysian yellow
noodles. They were delicious! In the afternoon, we rode

bicycles to Georgetown. There are a lot of
new buildings now, but many of the old
buildings are still there. In Weld Quay, a
really old place in Georgetown, we saw the
houses of the Chinese traders from 100
years ago. I wonder what life was like here
in the past. I really enjoyed walking around the town.
Tuesday, July 16th
What a difference a day makes! My father and I decided to
go to Penang Hill today. We wanted to walk up to the top,
but then it started raining a little so we decided to
take the train. We waited over an
hour for the train because there
were too many people. When we got
to the top, it was raining really
hard. We didn't have an umbrella
so we were wet and cold. It was terrible! And because, of
the bad weather, we couldn't see anything below. My
father didn't; bring enough money, so we only had one
bowl of fish and rice. I was so hungry!
But it tasted great!

comparative of the

following adjectives. Then use them to write five sentences about you and
your friends.
popular _____ funny ____ quiet ____
hard- working ____ serious ____ friendly ___
outgoing _____ smart ______ shy _______
2b Should friends be the same or different Read about what these people
think. Underline the differences between the friends and circle the
similarities.
My mother told me a good friend is like a
mirror. I’m quieter and more serious than
most kids. That’s why I like reading books
and studying harder in class. My best
friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy
studying together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to
make friends. But I think friends are like books – you
needn’t a lot of them as long as they’re good.
It’s not necessary to be the same. My
best friend Larry is quite different from
me. He is taller than me. We both like
sports, but he plays tennis better, so he
always wins. I’m getting better, though. As Larry often
says, “My best friend helps to bring out the best in
me.” However, Larry is much less hard – working, so I
always get better grades. Maybe I should help him more.
I don’t really care if my friends are
the same as me or different. My
favorite saying is, “ A true friend
reaches for your hand and touches your
heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very

funny. In fact, she’s funnier than anyone I know. I
broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel
better. We can talk about and share everything. I know
she cares about me because she’s always there to listen.
2c Are the following statements true (T) or false (F)
1. Jeff is less serious than most kids.
2. Jeff and Yuan Li are both quiet.
3. Jeff thinks it is easy for him to make friends.
4. Huang Lei is taller than Larry.
5. Huang Lei isn’t as good at tennis as Larry.
6. Larry works harder than Huang Lei.
7. Mary thinks her friends should be the same as her.
8. Carol broke her arm last year and Mary made her feel better.

2b Read the passage below. Which three talent shows are mentioned
Who's Got Talent
Everyone is good at something,
but some people are truly
talented. It's always
interesting to watch other
people show their talents.
Talent shows are getting more
and more popular. First, there
were shows like American Idol
and America's Got Talent. Now,
there are similar shows around the world, such as China's
Got Talent.
All these shows have one thing in common: They try to
look for the best singers, the most talented dancers, the
most exciting magicians, the funniest actors and so on.

All kinds of people join these shows. But who can play
the piano the best or sing the most beautifully That's up
to you to decide. When people watch the show, they
usually play a role in deciding the winner. And the
winner always gets a very good prize.
However, not everybody enjoys watching these shows. Some
think that the lives of the performers are made up. For
example, people who say they are poor farmers are in fact
just actors. But if you don't take these shows too
seriously, they are fun to watch. And one great thing
about them is that they give people a way to make their
dreams come true.

2b Read the passage and complete the time line on the next page.
When people say “Culture”, we think of art and
history. But one very famous symbol in American culture
is a cartoon. We all know and love the black mouse with
two large round ears---Mickey Mouse. Over 80 years ago,
he first appeared in the cartoon
Steamboat Willie
. When
this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928,
it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man

behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and
successful. In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with
Mickey.
Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so
popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like
a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In
his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many
problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie.
However, he was always ready to try his best. People
went to the cinema to see the “little man” win. Most
of them wanted to be like Mickey.
On November 18, 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon
character to have a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame
.
People today expect to see more than just a little mouse
fighting bad guys, but many still know who he is. Who
has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’s

Do You Think You Will Have Your Own Robot
When we watch movie about the
future, we sometimes see robots.
They are usually just like human
Servants. They help with the
housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous
places.
Today there are already robots working in factories. For
example, they can help to build cars, and they do simple
jobs over and over again Fewer people will do such jobs
in the future because they are boring, but robots will
never get bored.
Some scientists believed that there will be more robots
in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds
of years. Scientists are now trying to make robots look
like humans and do the same things as us. Some robots in
Japan can even walk and dance. These films of robots are
fun to watch. But scientist James White thinks that it
will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a
person. For example, it is easy for children to wake up
and know where they are. Mr. White thinks that robots
won't be able to do this. But some scientists disagree.
They think that robots will even be able to talk like
humans in 25 to 50 years.
New robots will have many different shapes. Some will
look like humans, and others might look like snakes. If
buildings fall down with people inside, snake robots
will be able to help look for people under the
buildings. That may not seem possible now, but computers
and rockets seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never

know what will happen in the future!

Students these days often have a lot of worries
Sometimes they have problems with their
schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.
What can they do about this Same people believe
the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from
London, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says
Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. Unless we talk
to someone, we'll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her wallet, and worried for days. She was afraid to
tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each
day because she didn't have any money. She just kept thinking, “If I
tell my parents, they’ll be angry” In the end, she talked to her
parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes
made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new wallet and asked
her to be mere careful. “I will always remember to share my problems
in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same
way as Laura. “It is best not to run away from our problems. We

should always try to salve them.” He thinks the first step is to
find someone you trust to talk to. This person doesn't need to be an
expert like himself. Students often forget that their parents have
more experience than them, and are always there to
help them. In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting
it in half. So you're halfway to solving a problem just by talking to
someone about it!
2c Read the passage again and answer the questions. Discuss your answers
with a partner.
1. What is the worst thing to do if you have a problem
2. Why didn't Laura want to tell her parents about her lost wallet
3. What is the first thing you should do when you want to sole a problem
