My Vacation to Beijing

It is really famous in the world. The next day， we visited the Palace Museum and Tian’anmen Square. We took many photos there. We also visited some other interesting places in Beijing.

Good Habits and Health

Good habits can keep us healthy. Here are three good habits for us. First， we should eat healthy food such as fish， chicken， fruit and vegetables. These kinds of food are important for our bodies. Second， we should take exercise every day. Exercise such as running， swimming and playing basketball is good for our health. Third， we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. Remember， “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy， wealthy and wise.”

Hello， everyone！ Let me tell you something about my good friend Liu Hui. She is as tall as me， but she is thinner than me. We both have long straight hair.

She is talented in language， so she is better at English than me. When I have problems， she always helps me. Once I got a B on the English test and she got an A. She helped me with the problems in my English paper and told me many good ways of learning English.

This is my good friend Liu Hui. I think life is better with true friends.

I did a survey （调查） on three supermarkets around my home. For me， the best supermarket is Huimin Supermarket.

First of all， it’s the largest supermarket in my hometown， and I can buy almost everything there， from food to clothes. Also， it’s the closest to my home. It only takes me ten minutes to walk there. What’s more， I can always buy things cheaply there as there is usually a sale on. Last but not least， the service there is the best. I can always ask the workers for help.

All these points make shopping in Huimin Supermarket an enjoyable thing. So I like to shop there best！

My favorite movie is Hi， Mom. It is a time-travel comedy. In the movie， Xiaoling’s mother Huanying is dying and Xiaoling is sad by her mother’s bed. At that time， she doesn’t expect herself to go back to 1981， yet she does. She meets her young mother and becomes good friends with her. I like this movie not only because the actors did a good job， but also because it’s a film with a good message. Our parents do lots of things for us. As children， we should show them that we love them and try to do something for them. All in all， this movie is a must-see.

I’m Li Hua. My parents were not at home today， so I prepared lunch for myself. Here is how I cooked it. First， I washed two tomatoes and an onion and cut them up. Next， I put some oil into the pan. When it was hot， I put the onion and the ground beef into the pan. I fried the beef until it turned brown. Then， I added the tomatoes， some salt and pepper and cooked them for about twenty minutes. After that， I boiled the noodles in the pot. Finally， I mixed the sauce and the noodles together. The lunch was delicious.

Dear Helen，

Thank you for inviting us to your birthday party on Sunday. My sister Li Xin is available and she is glad to accept your invitation. I wish I could be there， but I’m sorry I can’t.

Happy birthday！

Dear Tina，

I’m sorry to hear that you are worried about the coming exam. It’s normal to feel nervous when there is an exam. Here is my advice. I hope it is helpful to you.

First of all， the exam results don’t mean everything. It’s good to care about the result， but if you care too much about it， you will not be able to enjoy your study. Next， if you feel too nervous you’d better do something to relax. Don’t spend your time worrying about the exams all the time.

Just believe in yourself and try your best.

Yours，

Li Hua

Today is Monday. I asked some of my classmates what they did over the weekend. Here are their answers. Kevin went to the park and took many photos there. He showed them to me. They were wonderful. Alice went to see her aunt. Her aunt lives in the countryside. Alice fed some chickens on her aunt’s farm. Joe went to the lake not far from his home and fished with his father.

Do you like doing exercise？ Doing exercise is good for our health. So I often do exercise in my free time. Before breakfast， I go to the park with my father to do morning exercises. Every day I can meet a lot of people there. Some walk， some run and some play ball games. Sometimes， my father and I play ping-pong in the garden near our house. Then I go to school by bike. I think it is a good way to exercise. In the afternoon， my classmates and I always play basketball on the playground. It is fun and we all enjoy it very much. Every Saturday， I like to play tennis with my best friend， David. It is my favorite sport.

第一課时

W： David， tell me something about you and your brother Mike. Are you different from each other？

M： Of course. Though we are both outgoing， he is friendlier and funnier than me. So he is more popular at school. I like sports and I can run faster and jump higher than him.

W： How about in study？

M： He thinks he works as hard as me. But I do better in schoolwork.

W： I think you both are great.

M： Thanks.

W： Oh， you both are talented.

Text 1

W： I think a good friend is like a mirror. How about you？

W： Which one was Lily？

M： The one in a blue shirt. Very beautiful.

W： Oh， I saw her dancing last night. She has short hair， doesn’t she？

M： No， Lily has long hair. Longer than yours. The one with short hair was Lucy. She was in a blue shirt too. Lucy won the game in the end.

W： Yes， she is the best dancer in our school， I think.

M： Oh， I’m sorry for that.

My name is Sara and I’m thirteen years old. My best friend is Mary. She is one year older than me. Mary is tall and beautiful. She has long curly brown hair and black eyes. We are in the same school and she lives not far from my house. Every Monday， Wednesday and Friday， we go to school and go home together. On the weekend， we also spend some time together. Sometimes I go to her house or she comes to mine and we talk about different things： books， computer games and movies. She likes reading most. She’s good at languages and always gets good grades in English and Chinese. But she finds math and history difficult. I am good at these two subjects， so I often help her with them.

第一課时

M： Let’s go to the movies tonight.

W： Sounds great. There are three movie theaters in our city. Which one should we go to？

W： What about the ticket price？

M： A movie ticket in the City Great Hall is 40 yuan. It is 35 yuan at Movie City and cheapest at Screen World， 30 yuan.

W： I think Linda is the best. She danced the best of all. She made me excited.

M： Yeah. She is great. But I think Frank sang the most beautifully at the show.

W： That’s right. And the performers Joe and Steve， from Class 1 Grade 8 are the most creative， do you think so？ Their talk show is really interesting. I think I laughed the loudest.

M： You have a point. They are the funniest at the show.

W： Who do you think is the worst at the show？

M： I think they are all great. But maybe Mike performed worse than others. He forgot his song words.

W： Yeah.

Text 1

M： Hey， May. Who do you think is a better dancer， Rachel or Billy？

W： Well， both Rachel and Billy are good， but I think Mary is better than them.

W： Hi， Sam. What did you do yesterday？

M： Well， in the morning， I played soccer with my friends in the park.

W： And in the afternoon？

W： I want to go to the coffee shop near the park. Would you like to go with me？

Text 7

M： Yesterday was cool， but it’s hot today.

W： Then， let’s go swimming， Dennis.

M： Great， Mom！ What’s the best swimming pool？

W： Center Swimming Pool， I think. It is the largest. But it’s the most expensive.

M： What about Green Swimming Pool？

W： Well， it is the cheapest and has the friendliest service. But it’s the most crowded.

M： I think we should go to Park Swimming Pool. The water is good， and the price is not high. It is large enough.

W： OK. Let’s go！

Text 8

W： Dave， did you see the basketball game in the school sports center last night？

M： Yeah， Sally. I went with Pete and Daniel.

W： How was it？

M： Our class lost.

W： No surprise！ I want to know how Jeff played in the game.

M： Well， Jeff tried really hard， but he is not a good player.

W： I see. But Carl is worse than Jeff and Jacob is the worst of all！

M： True. Maybe they just need more practice.

W： Yeah， maybe. They just practice once a week. If they practice every day， they could be better players！

Text 9

W： Hello. I’m Kate， your new neighbor.

M： Hi， I’m Jack. How do you like the neighborhood so far？

W： Pretty good. Are you free now？ I want to ask you some questions about this neighborhood.

M： Sure， go ahead.

W： Where can I buy the freshest food？

M： At the supermarket on the next street. It’s between a bank and a bookstore.

W： That’s great. Is there a cinema around？ I like watching movies.

M： Yes， there are three. Sun Cinema， Star Cinema and Moon Cinema. Sun is the newest. And I think Moon is the best because it has the most comfortable seats.

W： Cool！ Where can I buy clothes？

M： Well， Mr Dark sells clothes at a good price. Look， it’s just across from us.

W： That’s very kind of you. Thank you very much！

M： My pleasure.

I like watching talent shows. I want to be talented， too. Some of my classmates have talents. Last month， I asked some questions of them.

Jim is the best writer in my class. He is good at writing funny stories. Everyone else in my class likes to read his stories. They always make us laugh. He writes every day. Tom sings the most beautifully in the school. He won the singing competition last year. Every Monday and Friday， he practices singing with his brother. Jane is better at math than other students. She can always work out the hardest math problems in class. She really likes math and reads a lot of books about it when she is on vacation. Now I find out why they are talented. They have one thing in common. They are all hard-working and never give up.

第一課时

M： I usually watch TV with my family. What about you， Maria？

M： My mother likes talent shows， too！ And my father likes watching news. He watches it every night.

Text 1

W： How did you find yesterday’s talent show in the theater， Steve？

M： All the performers were excellent. The winner was lucky.

M： Great！ Thanks， Sister. Well， you can wear your white sweater and the red skirt.

W： Mm， sounds nice but my red skirt is dirty. I didn’t wash it.

M： Then， try the black skirt or the purple one.

W： Purple， that’s it！ How about you？

M： Oh， that’s easy. The jeans and the green sweater.

M： Why do you like it so much？

W： I don’t know. It just feels good to get my hands a little dirty， you know. And I have something useful at the end.

W： Promise？

M： Yes， promise.

W： I want to see the world. I think it’s really exciting！

M： That’s true. Let’s keep our promise and try to make it.

Text 10

It’s easier to make a resolution than to keep it. At the beginning of this year， I made up my mind to improve my health. I promised myself that I was going to play volleyball， play the violin， and eat less unhealthy food. To do this， I made a weekly plan to help me keep up. On the first day， I did everything I planned， and I felt very good. On the second day， I found myself a little tired when I got up， so I didn’t exercise that day. On the third day， I didn’t even want to get up early as I planned. I went back to my old way of life and never took another look at my plan. Now， this year is coming to its end. I’m planning to learn to play the guitar next year. Maybe I need a partner to keep my resolution together.

Hi， I’m Jack. My hobby is taking photos. There are many pictures in my house. Look at this one about my village. I took it ten years ago. I lived in a small house with my parents at that time. I had to go to school by train every day. Now things are quite different. I live in the city and I have a good job in a factory. I like reading books about robots. I want to be an engineer in five years. I think I will have my own factory， so that I can make more robots to help people in life.
