A day at school

By Sam

I am a junior high school ['d?u?n??] student. I love going to school.

My school is close to my home, so I always go to school on foot. Classes start at 8 a.m., and I am seldom['seld?m] late[le?t]. My favorite['fev?r?t] subject ['s?bd?ekt] is Geography[d??'?gr?f?]. I enjoy learning about different places in the world.

In the morning, we usually study Chinese, Maths and English. We have our morning break [bre?k] at 9:50 a.m. When the bell [bel] rings[r??], I run to the playground with my best friends Tom and Jack. We often play games. Break ends at 10:10 a.m. How short it is!

Lunch is from 11:50 a.m. to 12:30p.m. Afternoon classes end at 3:30 p.m. Then Tom, Jack and I take part in the school band [b?nd] practice ['pr?kt?s]. We make great music together[t?'gee?].

I always have a good time at school.

My mother is a junior high school teacher. She teaches English.

My mother gets up at 6 o’clock every day and has breakfast at 6:30 a.m. She always arrives at school at 7:25 a.m. She usually has two lessons in the morning. In the afternoon, she has one lesson. After school, she plays volleyball['v?l?b??l] with her students.

In the evening, she cooks dinner. After dinner, she prepares her lessons[pr?'pe?]. She sometimes helps me with my homework. She usually goes to bed at 11 p.m.

Protect [pr?'tekt] the Earth

The Earth[??θ] is a beautiful place.

There are forests['f?r?st] and rivers, mountains and fields

[fi?ld]. Some places are very hot, and some are very cold.

There are many different plants. Some are large. Some are small. All plants need light and water. There are different animals on Earth too. Some live on the land. Some fly in the sky. Some live under the water.

There are also many people like you and me on Earth. The Earth provides[pr?'va?d] us with air, water and food. It is our home.

Today, there is a lot of pollution pollution [p?'lu??(?)n]. We burn [b??n]things to make energy. This pollutes[p?'lu?t] the air. We put our rubbish['r?b??] into the sea and under the ground. This pollutes the Earth and kills animals and plants.

We must stop doing these things. It is important for us to protect [pr?'tekt] the Earth for our future['fju?t??].

Air

Air has no smell. [smel]

Air has no taste. [te?st]

But when the wind blows, [bl??]

You feel it on your face.

Look at a kite,

Or a plane [ple?n] in the air.

How do they stay[ste?] there?

They ride on air.

How does a balloon[b?'lu?n]

Rise [ra?z] in the air,

And lift people up[l?ft]?

It uses hot air.

We need air to breathe. [bri?e]

We need air to survive. [s?'va?v]

And when we breathe it,

It keeps us alive. [?'la?v]

A long time ago, there were ten suns in the sky. The weather ['wee?] was very hot. Plants could not grow[gr??]. Animals could not live long. There was a man. His name was Houyi. He shot （shoot [?u?t] ）nine suns out of the sky. In the end, only one sun remained[r?'me?n] . The weather got cooler. Plants could grow. People were happy.

Unit 4

The four seasons['si?z(?)n]

Spring

In spring, the weather starts to get warm. The wind blows [bl??] gently['d?entl?]. It often rains. Plants start to grow. Everything turns green. It is exciting to take a trip in spring.

Summer

The weather is hot in summer. The sun shines [?a?n] brightly ['braitli]. Many people like to go to the beach [bi?t?] and swim in the sea. It is nice to eat ice cream in the hot weather.

Autumn

In autumn, everything changes. Leaves turn[t??n]brown, red or yellow and start falling from the trees. It is nice to go on a picnic ['p?kn?k] at this time of year because the weather is cool and dry [dra?].

Winter

Winter is often cold and snowy['sn???]. Children love winter because they love to play in the snow. It is interesting to make snowmen. People usually spend time with their relatives ['rel?t?v] during the Spring Festival ['fest?v(?)l].

My favorite season

My favorite season is winter.

Winter is very cold and sometimes snowy. It is interesting to make snowmen in winter.

The Spring Festival is in winter and it is my favorite holiday. I visit my grandparents and eat lots of nice food. It is exciting to get red packets ['p?k?t] during the Spring Festival.

The weather in China

In the north of China, it is very cold and dry in winter. There is sometimes heavy snow. Summer is different. It is sometimes very hot during the day, but it is often cool in the evening. Spring and autumn are the nicest seasons.

The weather in the middle and east of China is quite [kwa?t] different. It is hot and dry in summer and very cold and wet in winter.

In the south of China, winter is usually short and cool. It sometimes rains. In summer, the weather is often hot and wet.

The weather in the south-west of China is very special ['spe?(?)l]. It is comfortable to['k?mf(?)t?b(?)l] live there because summer is cool and winter is warm.

A trip to space

by Jerry

10 October 2053

I’m so happy! Tomorrow I’ll be one of the first students to travel into space. The spaceship['spe?s??p] will leave the Earth at 9 a. m. It’ll take us to the Moon. I can’t wait!

The Moon is around[?'ra?nd] 380,000 kilometers from the Earth, so it’ll take us about four days to get there. There’s no gravity['gr?v?t?] in space, so we’ll be able to float [fl??t] around the spaceship. We’ll have to tie[ta?] ourselves to our beds so that we won’t float away [fl??t] in our sleep! Without gravity, our bodies may get weak [wi?k], so we’ll have to do exercises ['eks?sa?z] every day.

When we arrive, I’m going to walk on the Moon. I’ll have to wear a spacesuit['spe?ssu?t; -sju?t] to help me breathe [bri?e] because there’s no air on the Moon. I’m going to take as many photos as I can, that is, if my camera ['k?m(?)r?] still works up there…

Hotels on the Moon

Do you want to spend your holidays in hotels on the Moon?

At the moment, there are no hotels on the Moon. But all this will change[t?e?n(d)?]. If we can solve[s?lv] some problems, we will be able to build hotels there in the future. The Moon is very cold, so the hotels will have to be warm. They will also need a large amount of air so that people there can breathe[bri?e].

The hotels on the Moon will have rooms with big windows so that you can see the Earth. You will be able to swim in the hotel swimming pool [pu?l] and see all the stars around you. But you should not get too excited[?k'sa?t?d] . A trip to the Moon will cost a lot of money!

Visiting Shanghai

Shanghai is one of the largest cities in the world. If you like sightseeing['sa?tsi???], you will love it!

People’s Square[skwe?]

People’s Square is in the center of Shanghai. It is a large public['p?bl?k] area['e?r??] with green grass, fountains ['fa?nt?n] and birds. If you visit People’s Square, you can also see famous buildings around it, such as the Shanghai Grand [gr?nd] Theater['θi?t?, 'θi:?-] and the Shanghai Museum.

The Bund [b?nd]

The Bund is where old Shanghai meets new Shanghai. If you walk along the Bund, you will see many old buildings. The Pudong New Area, just across the Huangpu River, has many modern buildings. At night, these tall buildings light up the sky in every direction[d?'rek?(?)n; da?-].

Yu Garden

Yu Garden is a traditional [tr?'d??(?)n(?)l] garden. If you enjoy history and natural ['n?t?(?)r(?)l] beauty['bju?t?], you will love this garden. There are many beautiful buildings, bridges[br?d?] and ponds [p?nd]. You can also buy different snacks [sn?k] just outside the garden.

Hong Kong —a wonderful place to visit

If you like shopping, you will love Hong Kong. There are some expensive shops and also some cheap ones. There is something for everyone in Hong Kong.

One of the most interesting places in Hong Kong is Ocean Park ['???(?)n]. You can visit the Lowland['l??l?nd] Gardens to see some animals, or get a bird’s-eye view [vju?] of the whole park by riding in a cable car['ke?b(?)l]. At the Ocean['???(?)n] Theater['θ??t?], you can watch a dolphin['d?lf?n] show.
