Who is everyone’s favorite sailor It’s Popeye, of course. Popeye might look ordinary at first. He is not very tall, strong or handsome. He has a large chin and his right eye is nearly closed. However, he is responsible and never gives up. The cartoon has a special place in my heart. When I was young, I don’t like green vegetables. The only vegetable I eat was potatoes. I was quite small and not very strong, so I was not very good at sport. Then when I watch television one day I saw Popeye. When Popeye stands next to the bad man, Bluto, he look small and weak, and when they fight, he always lose. Then he eats some spinach, a kind of green vegetable. His arms grew thicker. He becomes stronger and he wins his fights. The next day I was going to play football at school, so I asked my mother for some spinach. I score three times and we won the match! I love green vegetables ever since. The cartoon made spinach a popular food in the US. Most kids have watched this cartoon on TV. Mum says spinach is good, but kids only begin to like it because of the sailor! Popeye first appeared in 1929. It is one of the oldest cartoon characters on TV. But he is still beloved by many. In 2024, Popeye will celebrate his 95th birthday and continue to show us that everyone can be great. 【学习任务五】 5. Read again and complete the checklist. 【学习任务六】 6.
