Im 14 and I live in England. My father works in a horse-riding school. Ive been riding since I was six. I go horse-riding every Saturday. Now I can ride quite well. I spend all Saturday at the riding school. I help to get the horses ready. I help the new students. I feed the horses and give them water when the lessons are over. I also brush them and clean all the equipment. I do this because I like it. I also get to ride for free! When you start riding a horse, its very difficult! The first thing you learn is how to get onto a horse. Then yo have to learn how to move up and down at the same time as the horse. If you dont do this, it is very uncomfortable for you and the horse! At first you learn to walk the horse around. Then you learn to go faster. When your teacher thinks you are good enough, you learn to jump. Not everyone wants to learn to jump. Some people just want to learn to ride for the exercise. But I like jumping.

Hospitals are busy places. Every day people with broken legs, people who have had accidents, people who are sick and mothers who are sick and mothers who are having babies all come to the hospital. Often they stay in the hospital for days, or even weeks, before they are well enough to leave. Staying in hospital for a long time can be very boring. Patients sleep in rooms called wards, and nurses look after them. A doctor visits them every day to see if they are well enough to go home. Most doctors in hospitals look after just one type of patient. Julie looks after babies and small children who are sick. Sometimes she works in the daytime and sometimes at night. So sometimes Matt doesnt see his mum for a few days. She is working when he is asleep. She is sleeping when he is awake! When this happens, they write each other notes to say Hi! Matts father is a writer. He works from home. So he does all the cooking and the housework for the family. Matts 14. Hes old enough to help with the housework. His sister, Shelly, is only two.

They worked out which trains to catch, where to eat and where they wanted to go shopping. Then they got some really exciting news. A friend of Janes was working with the sound equipment backstage. He said he could get them special passes so they could go backstage. He promised to ask the group if the girls could come to say Hello. He said that he was sure he could get them the groups autographs. The girls could hardly wait! Then two days before the concert, Anna got a cold. It got worse and worse, even though she stayed in bed and took medicine. One the evening before the concert, she had a fever and was very sick indeed. Annas mother rang Jane. “Annas too sick to go to the concert,” she said. “You had better find someone else to go with.” The next day, Anna was feeling very sorry for herself. Then she had a visitor. It was Jane! She came with a big bag of fruit and a pile of their favorite CDs. “I gave the tickets to Jill and Sue in the end,” she said. “Well go to another concert when youre well. It wouldnt be much fun without you.”WORD BANK pop 流行音乐carefully 细心地backstage 在后台、在幕后cold 感冒fever 发烧indeed 确实、当然pile 叠、堆another 另一个EXERCISES1.

Im writing to tell you about my new school. Im a bit nervous. It is called Senior High School. In England you change schools when you are about 11 years old, dont you? Here in America, most students change schools at about 10 and again at about 13. At 10 we move from elementary school to Junior High. That is when we move from having one teacher for all our subjects to having a different teacher for each subject. But our school is still quite small, though not as small as our elementary school. We move to Senior High at 13. This time some of my friends are changing schools with me. Some of them are going to a different Senior High. Sometimes a Junior High School is next to a Senior High School. My Senior High is in a different place from the Junior High. I have to take the bus and it takes longer to get there. It is a lot bigger too. There were about 900 students in my Junior High, but there are about 3,500 students in Senior High. Wish me luck on my first day!

I remember when I changed schools, I was nervous on the first day too. Almost all the students were nervous! But now most of us like it. There are about 2,000 students in my school and about 80 teachers. The big difference between our old school and the new one is that our new school has a lot more equipment. In our science classes we can do experiments using chemicals and complicated equipment. I feel like a real scientist! Science is my favorite subject. We have two lessons together every Friday afternoon. This is when we do experiments. We have to write them up carefully afterwards, but the best part is doing the experiments. Often we set fire to things (on purpose, for the experiment!). It is amazing how chemicals react with each other! Even when that doesnt happen, you do interesting things. For the last three weeks we have been growing a crystal on a piece of string. It seems to come from nowhere. It gets bigger and bigger. Our teacher says that if we had a beaker the size of the science lab, we could make a crystal bigger than me. That would be cool, dont you think so? I must go, let me know how your first day went.

I think I am going to explode with boredom! Its our first day at school and they expect us to sit down and start to work at once. The examinations are years away! Were confused by the size of the school. Were too worried about making friends to concentrate on work. I think they should give us a day to get used to the timetable and find our way around the school. Maybe even spend the day with our form teacher. That way we would get to know each other and the form teacher, at least. But no! We go round different classes and teachers all day. Its crazy! I hate the first day with the new students! They just dont settle down. They have to learn that they are starting to prepare for examinations. They have to start taking work seriously, right from the first day. They dont realise how quickly the time will pass. Every day counts. Now it is the time to set the high standards of work and behavior we will expect from them all through Senior High. These students are quiet enough. However, I can tell they are not thinking about the work at all. Its crazy!WORD BANKexplode 爆炸expect 预料examination 考试、考查confuse 使混乱concentrate 专心致志、集中精神maybe 也许、可能crazy 荒唐的hate 憎恨settle down 安静下来prepare 准备seriously 严重地， 认真地realize 知道、了解到count 很重要EXERCISES1.

Shes a general practitioner (GP). A GP is a doctor who works in a surgery and looks after the local people. GPs see lots of patients every day. Yesterday Anne saw two babies with sore ears, one old lady with a bad leg, six people with coughs, two people who couldnt sleep, two people with sore backs and one old man with a burn on his arm. So as you can see, she is very busy! Anne doesnt have a big family. She and her husband, Andrew, have three children: Chris, Jon and Katie. They live in a small village called Elmstone in England. Annes surgery is in a nearby village, Ash. Andrew is a doctor, like Anne, but he works at a hospital in Canterbury, which is home of the world famous Cathedral. It takes him about an hour to get to work. Anne has a sister and a brother. Andrew has a brother, but he doesnt have a sister. So Chris, Jon and Katie have two uncles and one aunt.
