I think Ill go to Hong Kong on vacation, and one day I might even visit Australia.,Unit2 Section B 3a Dear Mary, I have a problem, an I need your help. I always thought I was popular at school. But I just found out that my friends were planning a birthday party for my best friend, and they didnt invite me. Everyone else in my class was invited except me, and I dont know why. I cant think what I did wrong. Im very upset and dont know what to do. What do you think? Can you help me? Yours, Lonely Kid,Unit3 Section A 3a Dear Jack, I had a very unusual experience on Sunday. At around ten oclock in the morning, I was walking down the street when a UFO landed right in front if me. You can imagine how strange it was! An alien got out and walked down Center Street. I followed it to see where it was going, and I was very surprised when it went into a souvenir shop. While it was looking at the souvenirs, the shop assistant called the police. Before the police arrived, the alien left the shop and then visited the Museum of Flight. While the alien was in the museum, I called the TV station. Isnt that amazing! Ted,Section B 3a Linda loves her dog Davy. They went to New York City last Saturday. While Linda was buying a newspaper at the train station, the dog got out of his box and ran away. The station was crowded and Linda couldnt see Davy anywhere. When Linda shouted his name, some people looked at her but Davy didnt come. Then she called the police. While she was talking on the telephone, Davy met another dog outside the station. While the police were coming, Linda walked around the station and called Davys name. She didnt think about looking outside the station. Finally, a little boy said to her, “Did you look outside? I saw a big black dog when I came in.” When Linda finally saw Davy, he was jumping and running with another dog. There was a police officer next to them. The police officer said to Linda, “I think my dog found your dog.”,Unit4 Section B 3a Dear grandma, Hows it going? I hope that grandpa is well now. I was sorry to hear that he had a cold last week. I hope you are in good health. Things are fine here. I finished my end-of-year exams last week and got my report card today. I always get nervous when I see the envelope from school in the mail, but luckily I did OK this time. I had a really hard time with science this semester, and I wasnt surprised to find that my worst report was from my science teacher. She said I was lazy, which isnt true. Its just that I find science really difficult. Another disappointing result was in history. My history teacher said I could do better. The good news is that my math teacher said I was hard-working. And my Spanish teacher said my listening was good. Well, thats about all the news I have for now. Mom and Dad send their love. Love, Alan,Unit5 Section B 3a If I become an athlete, will I be happy? For many young people, becoming a professional athlete might seem like a dream job. If you become a professional athlete, youll be able to make a living doing something you love. If you become famous, people all over the world will know you. Many athletes give money to schools and charities, and do a lot of work to help people. This is a great chance that many people do not have.However, professional athletes can also have many problems. If you are famous, people will watch you all the time and follow you everywhere. This can make life difficult.If you play sports for a living, your job will sometimes be very dangerous. Many professional athletes get injured. And if you become rich, you will have a difficult time knowing who your real friends are. In fact, many famous people complain that they are not happy. They say they were happier before they became rich and famous.,Unit6 Section A 3a Im talking to you from the Hilltop School Skating Marathon. Here, students are skating to raise money for charity. For every hour they skate, each student raises ten yuan for charity. The skating marathon has been going for five hours now, and several skaters are still skating. Alison was the first one to start and has been skating for the whole five hours. Next is Sam, and he has been skating for four hours. Lu Ning has been skating for four hours too, and Li Chen just started an hour ago.,Section B 3a Dear Jack, Thanks for sending me the snow globe of the monster. I love it. In fact I think its probably my favorite. Ive been collecting snow globes for seven years, and now I have 226 of them. My mom says I have to stop, because weve run out of room to store them. Theyre all around our apartment. I even store them in boxes under my bed. The first one I ever got was a birthday cake snow globe on my seventh birthday. I particularly love globes with animals. I have a big one with bears in it and another one with penguins. If you know anyone else who collects them, please tell me. Id like to start a snow globe collectors club. By the way, whats your hobby? Love, Ellen,Unit7 Section B 3a I cant stand it! I dont like waiting in line when a shop assistant has a long telephone conversation. When that happens, I usually say, “Would you mind helping me?” And I dont like it when shop assistants follow me around. Then I say, “Could you please not follow me around? Ill ask you if I need some help. Usually the shop assistants say they are sorry, but sometimes they get mad. If that happens, I wont go back to that store again. I get annoyed when someone talks to me while Im reading. This happens to me all the time in the school library. When it happens, I usually talk to the person because I want to be polite. But because Im polite, people dont know Im annoyed. So they do the same thing again. Perhaps in the future I should try not to be so polite.,Unit8 Section B 3a The trendiest kind of pet these days is the pot-bellied pig. David Smith of North London has a pot-bellied pig named Connie. “Pot-bellied pigs make the best pets,” said David. “She watches TV on the sofa with me every night. Shes my best friend.” However, life with a pig isnt always perfect. “When I got my pig, she was small,” said David, “but she eats a lot. Now shes too big to sleep in the house, so I made her a special pig house. Also, pigs need a lot of love. Sometimes I dont have enough time to spend with her.”,Unit9 Section A 3a Have you ever been to Disneyland? Most of us have probably heard of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and many other famous Disney characters. Perhaps we have even see them in movies. But have you ever been to Disneyland? In fact, there are now several different Disneyland amusement parks around the world. Disneyland is an amusement park, but we can also call it a theme park. It has all the normal attractions that you can find at an amusement park, but it also has a theme. The theme, of course, is Disney movies and Disney characters. For example, you can find a roller coaster in most amusement parks, but in Disneyland, the theme of the roller coaster is Disney characters. This means that you can find Disney characters all over the roller coaster. You can also watch Disney movies, eat in Disney restaurants, and buy Disney gifts. And you can see Disney characters walking around Disneyland all the time! Have you ever heard of a Disney Cruise? These are huge boats that also have the Disney theme. You can take a ride on the boat for several days, and you can sleep and eat on board. There are also many attractions on board, just like any other Disneyland. You can shop, go to all end up in the same place. That is Disneys own island. It is just so much fun in Disneyland!,Unit9 Section B 3a Heres what two of our students said about our school. When I was a young girl, all I ever wanted to do was travel, and I decided that the best way to do this was to become a flight attendant. Ive been a flight attendant for two years now. Its a really interesting job because I travel all over the world. I discovered that the most important requirement was to speak English well, so I studied English at the Hilltop Language School for five years before I became a flight attendant. It was because I could speak English that I got the job. Thank you, Hilltop Language School! Mei Shan I want to be a tour guide. In fact, its all I have ever wanted to be. I want to travel, especially to English-speaking countries such as the United States and Australia. However, I know that I have to improve my English, so Ive started taking lessons at the Hilltop Language School. The Hilltop Language School has really helped me learn English. Ive been a
