| a I studied in Los Angeles in July 2019. During that time, I often went to a nearby library when I had time. Because I am a book lover. In this library, I met a girl called Elena. She gave up several hours to help us there every Friday afternoon. Her job was to read books to us and listen to our reading. She spoke very slowly. So we all could understand her. We liked her very much. She was a very kind woman. She thinks teaching the students to read is very meaningful. And she can do what she loves to do. |
| b Have you ever helped your parents with household chores? If so, what do you think the worst chore is? You may have thought of several things already, but for English people, cleaning the oven is the most hated chore, a study released (发布) by Braun Care Style ironing (熨烫) systems on Sept 8 showed. Ironing is the second most disliked task, followed closely by changing the bed sheets (床单). However, their favorite chores—which they actually enjoy doing—are cooking, gardening and vacuuming (除尘). |
| c If people around you have had a fever recently, it may not be COVID-19. According to China Daily, many places in China have come into the peak (高峰) period for seasonal flu. Influenza A is sweeping across the country. In the past three years, people did things to stop COVID-19 from spreading (传播), which also stopped the spreading of flu. As a result, people’s immunity to the flu went down. Besides, the flu and COVID-19 are different viruses (病毒), so getting COVID-19 does not stop you from getting the flu. Symptoms (症状) of influenza A: Cough, Fever above 38℃, Headache, Sore throat. |

【推荐3】I have three children and I make them do housework. However, my mother-in-law (婆婆) doesn’t agree with me. She thinks I’m much too harsh. In her opinion, it is adults’ job to do housework.
I think our family is made up of five family members. No one in the family is more important than others, so each member should help with chores. I don’t ask my children to do the same chores, because their ages are different.
At the end of the day, after they finish playing with their toys, I ask them to put the toys away. If they don’t, they will have to say goodbye to their toys. I expect my children to set the table at night and help fold their own clothes. I don’t think I’m asking too much.
I know they are tired after a long day’s study at school, but that’s life—harsh but real. I don’t want to pay them for doing some chores. They live in the house, so they should help out with some things in the house. No one is going to pay them for cleaning up their rooms later in life and I’m not about to start doing it now.
Some parents protect their children too much from anything unpleasant (使人不愉快的) and make their children’s lives too comfortable and safe, but I’m not interested in that way. I hope my children are able to look after themselves and can be independent early.

【推荐1】Wilson is a foreign student in Britain. He is learning English there. He still has some trouble using the language.
Doctor: Good morning. You’re a new patient, I think. What’s the trouble?
Wilson: Sometimes I feel cold and sometimes hot. I have a headache too.
Doctor: Yes, you look a bit off colour.
Wilson: What colour, please?
Doctor: Sorry, what I said was “off colour”. We use it to describe how people look or feel they are unwell. Let me take your temperature. When did this start?
Wilson: I felt very tired last night when I went to bed. Then I felt really bad this morning when I woke up.
Doctor: I see. Now, let’s look at your temperature. Ah, just as I thought, a hundred and one.
Wilson: Oh, a hundred and one? So high?
Doctor: Ah, yes, that must sound strange to you. We take people’s temperature on the Fahrenheit Scale. In Celsius, your temperature is 39℃, which is a little high.
Wilson: Oh, it isn’t very bad, then.
Doctor: No, it isn’t serious. You’ve got a cold. I’ll give you some medicine. You’d better stay at home for a day or two and drink plenty of water.
Wilson: Thank you very much, doctor. I’m feeling better already. It wasn’t so difficult telling you about my illness.
Doctor: No, language doesn’t mean too much to a doctor. After all, vets do without language at all.
