1 . Afel was only a very small boy when he first saw snow in a picture book. It had lots of pictures of children _________ in big white fields. He asked, “Mum, what are those white fields?” His mother laughed, “That’s snow, and they are making a snowman!” She tried to _________ what snow was. Afel didn’t really _______ because there was no real snow where he lived. But he showed great _________.

One day when he was 12, Afel was watching a programme on TV at his uncle’s house. The programme was full of snow. And not only snow — there were people _______ across the snow. They looked like fantastic birds. They had hats covering all their heads and big goggles over their eyes. And on their feet, they had _______ shoes.

“What are those?” he asked his uncle _________. “Skis,” replied his uncle. “And those people are called skiers.” At that moment, he _________ to be a skier. He asked his uncle what the programme was. “The Winter Olympics,” said his uncle. “It’s like the normal Olympics, but for _________ where you need snow — ski jumping, bobsleigh (长橇), those sorts of things. They __________ it every four years.”

Afel found out that the next Winter Olympics would be in Beijing, in 2022. “Perfect,” he thought. “Enough __________ for me to become a brilliant skier.”

“But there’s no snow here!” people told him. “Where are you going to ski?” Afel ________ them. He made himself a pair of skis from two pieces of wood. He tied them to his feet and practised skiing __________ two sticks in his hands. He practised again and again until he could __________ quite quickly across the sand. He __________ to fly down the hills like the people on TV, but he couldn’t.

“Never mind,” he thought. “It’s a __________…”

“How will you go to the Olympics?” people asked him. “Our country doesn’t ________ have a team that goes to the Winter Olympics. We have good runners and win lots of medals at the Olympics. But no skiing, no.” Afel didn’t __________.

So every night, out in the middle of the desert, Afel now practises skiing down sand hills. He __________ that the yellow sand and brown earth are as gold as the medal he will bring home with him, when he is the __________.

My dream school starts at 8: 30 a. m. and ends at 3:30 p. m. They are three lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon. We didn't need to do so many homework. Therefore, we have more time with afterschool activities. For example, we can do reading for one and a half hour and play sports for one hour every day.

My dream school look like a big garden. There are all kinds of the flowers and trees around the classroom buildings. We can lie on the grass for a rest, or sat by the lake listening music. The teachers here are kind and helpfully. They are not only our teachers but also our friends.
