Early in the morning at January 1, I get up and take the dog for an walk. When I come back, my parents get up. We have egg and bread for breakfast. After breakfast, Dad and I go shopping to buy any apples in the shop. When we get back home, Dad puts it in a box. I help him when Mum walk from room to room to put away other things. At about twelve o’clock, Mum cooks a well lunch for us. She says eating dumplings on New Year’s Day can bring good lucky to us. We enjoy nice food when we are watch TV. I love the big day but I can have a great time with my family that day.
Dear Andy,
My family and I want to take a trip this summer somewhere in eastern China. I hope you can provide me for some
information about the kind of vacations that your firm can offer. We would like to travel to an
excited place and it has to be a place where we can
do much outdoor activities;
We especial love hiking and swimming, but any kind of outdoor activity
were fine. We also need to stay in
a inexpensive hotel or apartment.
It would be nice unless we could get a room with a kitchen to save money
by cook our own meals. The room needs to be big enough for three people. Could you please give me some suggestions for vacation sports?
How can we do during three weeks?

My name is Cindy. I’m a student. I’m 14 year old.
There are four peoples in my family.
We both like watching TV,
but we like difference TV shows. My father
Hank is a dentist. He loves watching news. He says it is educational. He is the taller in my family. My mother
Emma is a teacher. She like soap operas. She thinks
they are relaxed. I don’t mind soap operas. I like game
shows. They can make me laughing. Alice is my younger
sister. She is only 5 and she loves cartoons. She favorite
cartoon is Peppa Pig. She thinks it is most interesting than
other shows.
Last month, my English teacher asks me to
take part in a English speaking competition.
I didn’t believe if I had the ability to win or not. It
is known to all my classmate that I can always speak
English as better as a native speaker, but I am
always too shy to express my ideas, especial in public.
My best friend Lisa has been encouraging me accept
the challenge. On her opinion, as long as I try my best,
I will make it. After hear this, I have decided to have a try.
I hope I will be luck.
Do you play Ant Forest!? It isaonline game on Alipay (支付宝).
People collect “energy” by doing somethingwellfor the environment.
They can grow and waterhisown “trees” with the “energy”. When the
“trees” are big enough, Alipay with someanothercompanies will plant
real trees in the desert (沙漠) area of China.
Every yearmillionof trees are planted in this way. This is part of
China’s tree-planting programs. It hopes to stop the desert frombecomelarger.
Since 1978, China hasplantover 66 billion trees in the north. It is known
as “the Great Green Wall”. For example, Saihanba in Hebei Province was
once a desert,andnow it has become the biggest man-made forest in China.
“China is making the world muchgreenthan before. It sets a good example
andhavemany lessons to share with the world.” said the United Nations
Environment Program.

Ann wants to be a nurse and works for sick people
because they need her help. There has a hospital near
her home. When Ann go to the hospital, she always
sees many people there. Last summer Ann
broke her leg. The pain was great and she could
even walk. Her parents took her to the hospital with
a car, and she had to stay here for about one month.
She couldn’t leave her bed during her the first few days,
so she was not very happy. Some day a nurse came to Ann’s
bed and said in a smile, “ You will be better soon.
You can walk again, so don’t think only of bad things. Try to be happy!”
The nurse was very kind and they become friends very soon.

Are you always happy during you vacation? Many people
may say “yes”. But last week I have a bad vacation. My
parents and I went to the Great Wall on bus. But on the
half way, there was something wrong of the bus. After
a hour, it started again. It was about 11:00 a.m when we
arrived at the Great Wall. We saw too much people there.
My father took out the camera and wanted to take some photo.
But just then, it began to rain hardly. We didn’t take an umbrella
with us because we were wet. When we felt hungry and wanted
to eat anything, we found we left our food at home.
Dear Patrick,
Thank you for sharing your problems to me. You stay up late every day. It is a common problem for a Grade 9 student. I think a best way to solve it is to manage your time carefully. Try to finish some homework during lunchtime at school instead of play basketball, and then you can go to bed a little early at night.Maybe too much noise at home is other reason that makes you stay up late. Your grandfather keeps the TV very loud because his hearing (听力) are not very good. How about losing your bedroom door when you study outside? Or perhaps you can talk him about your problem. I am sure he loves you very much that he will listen to you.I hope you think my advice is worth take .
Best wishes,
Ivan
