Monday, July 15th
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
delicous! In the afternoon, we rode
bicycles to 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
rice and some fish. The food tasted great because
I was so
hungry!

What Do No.5 High School Students
Do In Their Free Time?
Last month we asked our
students about their free time activities. Our
questions were about exercise, use of the
Internet and watching TV. Here
are the
results.
We found that only fifteen
percent of our students exercise every day.
Forty-five percent exercise four to six times
a week. Twenty percent
exercise only one to
three times a week. And twenty percent do not
exercise at all!
We all know that many
students often go online, but we were surprised
that ninety percent of them use the Internet
every day. The other ten
percent use it at
least three or four times a week. Most students
use it
for fun and not for homework.
The
answers to our questions about watching television
were also
interesting. Only two percent of the
students watch TV one to three
times a week.
Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a
week. And
eighty-five percent watch TV every
day! Although many students like to
watch
sports,game shows are the most popular.
It is
good to relax by using the Internet or watching
game shows, but we
think the best way to relax
is through exercise. It is healthy for the mind
and the body. Exercise such as playing sports
is fun, and you can spend
time with your
friends and family as you play together. And
remember,
“old habits die hard”.So start
exercising before it’s too late!
Unit 3: I’m
more outgoing than my sister.
Section A 2d:
Julie: Did you like the singing competition
yesterday, Anna?
Anna: Oh, it was fantastic!
Nelly sang so well!
Julie: Well, I
think Lisa sang better than Nelly.
Anna: Oh,
which one was Lisa?
Julie: The one with
shorter hair I think she sang more clearly than
Nelly.
Anna: Yes, but Nelly danced better than
Lisa.
Julie: You can tell that Lisa really
wanted to win, though.
Anna: Well, everyone
wants to win. But the most important thing is to
learn something new and have fun.
Grammar
Focus:
Tom smarter than Sam?
No, he
isn’t. Sam is smarter than Tom.
2. Is Tara
more outgoing than Tina?
No, she isn’t. Tina
is more outgoing than Tara.
3. Are you as
friendly as your sister?
No, I’m not. I’m
friendlier.
4. Does Tara work as hard as Tina?
Yes, she does.
5. Who’s more hard-working
at school?
Tina thinks she works harder than
me.
Section B 2b阅读理解：
Jeff Green:
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 I study
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 don’t
need a lot of them as long as they’re
good.
Huang Lei:
It’s not necessary to be the
same. My best friend Larry is quite
different
from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me.
We both like
sports, but he plays tennis
better, so he always wins. However, Larry
often helps to bring out the best in me. So
I’m getting better at tennis.
Larry is much
less hard-working, though. I always get better
grades than
he does, so maybe I should help
him more.
Mary Smith:
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 make 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.
