【推荐1】More and more people are just drinking water every day. That’s a great thing to do. Water is a better choice than soda（苏打水）or juice. Doctors say that you should drink about two liters（升）of it every day. It’s necessary if you want to stay healthy. Now more and more people are used to drinking bottled water. There are many kinds of bottled water to choose from. Some of it comes from mountain springs（山泉）. Some of it comes from beautiful islands. It’s convenient（方便）to carry around, and you can find it at any stores.

People usually choose bottled water because they think it’s safer than tap water. This choice does damage to the planet. However, many people know little about it. People buy billions of bottles of water every year. Most of that water comes from local water supplies, not mountains or islands. That’s a problem in areas that don’t have much water. The bottles are big problems, too. A lot of people just throw them away. It can cause pollution.

Bottled water isn’t always cleaner than tap water. If you really want a healthy drink, there’s a better choice. Get a glass and fill it up with filtered（经过滤的）tap water. You’ll save money, your health, and the earth.

【推荐1】Dear Tommy,

I’m in Paris now! Mum, Sally and I came here to visit my uncle. We are having a wonderful time. Dad didn’t come because his company sent him to work in Japan last month. He will have to stay there until November.

For Sally and me, it’s our first time to come to France. We are so excited! Last week Mum went to see different shows alone. She studied in Paris for a long time, so she knows the city well. Sally and I visited many interesting places with Aunt Susan. Although we can’t speak French, we weren’t worried at all because Aunt Susan and Uncle Tyler can speak both French and English.

Yesterday afternoon, Mum, Sally and Aunt Susan stayed at home cooking dinner. Uncle Tyler took me to go fishing. We drove for an hour and finally got to his favourite lake. First, we walked around the lake looking for a good place to fish. Uncle Tyler said we should fish from the top of a large rock.

I was so interested in catching a fish that when I threw my fishing line and hook（鱼钩） out, the rod（鱼竿）went with them! Uncle Tyler got my rod out of the lake. Then he said that next time, I should wait until he put bait（鱼饵）on the hook .

We fished for two hours and my uncle caught four fish. He was a great fisherman. I caught nothing but a cold.

Now I can’t wait to go fishing again soon, so I can become a great fisherman like Uncle Tyler.

Yours,

Frank

    4     Keep your cool when you have problems understanding, even if you can’t understand something for a long time.

Listen for the main idea of the conversation. Don’t pay attention to details (细节) until you have understood the main idea.

Don’t translate (翻译) everything into your first language.     5     Translating leads to a kind of block (阻碍) in your brain which sometimes doesn’t allow you to understand anything at all!

But how to wash your hands? That’s easy: wash your hands with soap and warm water (not cold or hot). Don’t forget to wash around your fingernails (指甲). This is one place germs like to be. Wash for about 15 to 20 seconds—about how long it takes to sing “Happy birthday” twice.
