On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they
_________________________________________________________________________________________
passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the
sight of the swings and the merry go round (旋转木马) brought back a flood of memories of their childhood _________________________________________________________________________________________
spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing

trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the
playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never _________________________________________________________________________________________
got emptied often.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead (皱起了眉). In
the library, they met Mrs. Evans, their kind hearted fifth grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans _________________________________________________________________________________________
listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go
to the Go Green, a non profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is
good at raising money for projects just like yours,” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to present their ideas to Go
Green. Hearing this, their face lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing (令人
信服的) speech. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they worked
together quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze (压) the
trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced
his speech over and over again.

Dear fellow classmates,
Inspired by what we have learned , I cooked Gong Bao Chicken for my family last week and here I’d like to share my recipe///cooking process.
First, with all the ingredients prepared , I heated the oil and added the chillies, stirring them for 30 seconds. Once the flavors were brought out, I dropped the seasoned chicken and cooked it through. Finally some peanuts and carrots were added, which gave the cuisine much nutrition. All my family were full of praise for the cuisine.
It is from this experience that I feel that we are supposed to shoulder responsibility at home, as well as enjoy the pleasure of labor (劳动).
That’s all. Thank you!

Dear fellow classmates,
Inspired by what we have learned , I cooked noodles for my family last week and here I’d like to share my recipe///cooking process.
First, I prepared water. Once the water was boiling, I put noodles in carefully. To add nutrition to the meal, I dropped some beaten egg and green vegetables. With the right amount of salt and oil added, the meal was ready. All my family were full of praise for my noodles.
It is from this experience that I feel that we are supposed to shoulder responsibility at home, as well as enjoy the pleasure of labor (劳动).
That’s all. Thank you!

A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting. He could feel nothing but his hands shaking and heart pounding. “You’ll be great, Peter,” Isabel encouraged him. Just then, Peter heard his name being announced. It was time to present! Peter took a deep breath and then went on the stage. “Tubman Park needs a new kind of trash can,” Peter explained, pointing to a poster of a trash can. Then Peter explained the working principle of the trash can in detail. The judges nodded as they listened, seeming interested in the project.
After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news. Go Green had agreed to buy the new trash cans for the park! Hearing the inspiring news, they both leaped into the air with joy. Peter hardly had time to enjoy the moment before Isabel started sharing the news with Mrs. Evans and showing their gratitude to her. Learning of the result, Mrs. Evans smiled through watery eyes. “I know you can do it! Tubman Park is sure to become one that is clean and green again!” Never before had Peter and Isabel been so proud of themselves.

M: Is it true that the opera is sung in a foreign language
W: Yes, usually in Italian or French.
M: Not good for me. As you know, I can only speak English and a little German besides my mother tongue. I can hardly speak Italian and French.
W: It doesn't matter. The actors also tell the story with their moves.
M: Sounds good, but I'm still afraid I can't understand.
W: Take it easy. Music is a universal language.
M: Yes, the music is supposed to be beautiful.

W: I am told that you took some kids to go camping last week, did you
M: Yes, it lasted three days.
W: Did the children enjoy the holiday camp or were they homesick
M: Well, I must admit some of the younger kids were a bit unhappy because they'd never been away from their home on their own before. But soon they recovered. At the end, they even didn't want to go home.
W: What sorts of things did you do with them
M: There were some trips, including a visit to Hardwick Hall. That was what we did on the first day. I think they expected it to be boring, especially when they heard that was a guided tour. But they were wrong, for the guide was interesting. His stories really made the history of the castle alive.
W: I can imagine it. By the way, what sorts of sports activities did you do
M: A lot. Sailing, climbing, horse－riding and the like. On the last day we had a barbecue, which was their favorite. The kids liked it very much. They all hoped to come again next year.
W: That sounds interesting and impressive.

Welcome to Student Life ! Today we're going to talk about setting up a project of student jobs in your school. Having students do different jobs around the school is a great way to prepare them for life in the real world. It encourages them to be responsible and also helps them learn new tasks and gain experience.
However, it's important to get students excited about the project, so the first thing you should do is let students know this project. Get the headmaster to make an announcement explaining the project. OK
Then decide on the jobs you want and write out the descriptions of the skills and responsibilities needed for each position. Some typical jobs are Classroom Assistants, Recycling Officers and Computer Assistants. Next, ask students to apply for the jobs. Students should be encouraged to write letters of application for the job they are interested in. This is a great way to practice letter writing skills. And don't forget you should make sure students are guided by a teacher. A committee then reviews all the applications and gives jobs to the most suitable applicants. Finally, it's important to get opinions from students about the project, to find out which jobs are successful and which don't go well.
