1 Look at the pictures below. Predict what the diary is mainly about.
2 Read Sandra's diary and complete the
table.
Dear Diary,
Today at school, we talked to the class about our favourite subjects.
My group talked about art. We each brought a painting to class. Mine was a copy of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. “As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. Take me as an example. My love for art came from my deep interest in Van Gogh’s works.” I told my class.
Jenny’s group talked about their favourite subject --- social studies. Bill showed us many photos of Beijing. “These remind me of my holidays there,” Bill added. Jenny even sang a Chinese song called Jasmine Flower! They know so much about China. That amazed us. “The secret of learning social studies well is to fully take part in the topic,” Jenny said.
Karen’s group showed us some physics. Tim put some very small tea leaves on a desk. Then Karen combed her hair ten times very quickly. She put the comb beside the tea leaves. The leaves jumped to the comb! She also made her hair stand up with the comb. Everyone was surprised. Tim explained why. Later, Karen said, “Physics is like magic. When you get deep into it, you will find it more interesting.”
Time for bed!
