I was walking along the street when a stranger stopped me and asked me the way to a new restaurant. I answered and told him the route and direction carefully. As soon as I finished, the stranger thanked me and started off. To my surprise, he went in wrong direction. Then I stopped him at once and told him what wrong he had made. Unexpectedly, he smiled and told me the truth that he didn't really want to ask the way, but, instead, he was just trying to know whether everyone knew exactly where the new restaurant was, for he was the new owner of the restaurant. Then I knew who he was and what he wanted to do.

An Instructive Day
Today is March 12, our national Tree Planting Day. Our Class observed the day by planting trees.
In high spirits we talked and smiled all the way. As soon as we got to a piece of wasteland far from the school, we began to work. Some were engaged in digging holes; some were busying themselves in covering the roots of the young trees with earth and watering the trees one by one. We worked so hard that soon each of us was wet in sweat.
On the way home we kept on singing up, because we've done a good thing to make our homeland green.

One day three men got a bottle of wine. But the wine was not enough for the three and each of them wanted to drink the wine alone. Then they all agreed that they each would draw a snake on the ground and the one who first finished drawing would be given the wine. So they began to draw on the ground with sticks.
It was not long before one of the three finished drawing his snake. He took up the bottle of wine with pride. He was about to drink when he found the other two were still busy with their drawings. “How slow you are!” said he, “I can even add feet to my snake before you finish yours.”
He put down the bottle and began to add feet to his snake. But before he inished, another man took hold of the bettle and said,“I've finished. Snakes have no feet, so yours is not a snake.”With these words he drank up the wine.

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to say something about trees. As we know now trees are very important to human beings. First of all, they benefit our health. They send out oxygen for us to breathe. We can't live without trees.Secondly, trees can beautify our environment.
As trees are so important, we must do our best to protect them. We must enforce the tree protection laws. We must plant as many trees as possible.Only in this way can we live happily in the beautiful world.

Respecting Parents Programme
Showing respect to parents is one of the Chinese traditional moral values.As most of the students today are “the only child” in their family, they often regard themselves as the“centre”of the family, without caring much about their parents. Our school started a programme when the new year came.It is “Respecting parents programme”. Ten“Do's”have been worked out for the students to follow clearly and easily, including:
“Remember your parents' birthdays and express your best wishes to them; say”hello“to your parents when you see them returning home; and tell your parents where you go when you leave home.”
The programme has been successful, and has won praises from parents and other sides of the society. People say this is what we should have done earlier!

How to Protect Your Eyesight
It is important for everyone to keep good eyesight. But do you know how to protect your eyesight?
First, don't keep your eyes working for a long time. You'd better have a rest by looking in the long distance after you have studied an hour or so.
Second, pay attention to the following: Don't read in the sun or in a poor light; don't read in bed or in a moving bus. And when you read you should keep the book away from your eyes for about a foot.
And third, do eye-exercises every day. It will also help you keep good eyesight.
If you obey the rules above, I think, you may prevent your eyesight from becoming short-sighted.

Dear Anna,
How glad I am to hear from you and to know that you are getting on well with your Chinese study at Beijing University.
To learn a foreign language, one should not only study the language itself, but also study the everyday life of the native speakers of the language.You've been in China for only half a year. I don't think you have known much about our life at home. Why not come to my place and spend the Spring Festival with my family?
My parents and I are looking forward to seeing you. We'll surely meet you at the station.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hong

Time is important to everyone. Lost time will never come back. We must keep this in mind in our daily life and make the best use of our time. Only in this way can we succeed in life.
How can we make full use of our time? First of all, we'd better make a plan. We should arrange our study, work and rest. We can know what we should do next so that we can save as much time as possible when we study or work, we should put our hearts into it. We should spend every minute on it.After a period of time's study and work we can take a good rest.
I think that all of us should emphasize using our time effectively.

I went out to see a film after supper. On my way to the cinema, I met an Englishman named John, who had lost his way. I gave up the chance to see the film and took him to his hotel. While going there, I told him the great changes that had taken place here in the past few years and John told me something about his country.

Though I had missed the film, I felt very happy, for I had not only helped John get out of trouble, but also practised my spoken English. If I had not worked hard at English, I would not have been able to help John.

There is a new market near my house. My mother often goes there and buys what we need for our meals. But I had never been there before.
Yesterday I went to the market with my mother. There were so many people that we could hardly make our way out of the crowds. There were all kinds of vegetables, fish and fruit everywhere. People were talking about the goods and the prices. The sellers shouts could be heard every now and then.I remembered that the day before I had asked Mother to buy some fresh fish.Most of the fish there was frozen, but we had not much trouble in finding some fresh fish at the other part of the market. My mother bought something else as well.
It was my first time to go to the market, and I was deeply impressed by what I saw in the market.

There is a village called Bosia with moutains around it. Many years ago great trees covered the mountains for miles around. Unfortunately in 1992, a forest fire broke out. Firemen had been fighting the forest fire for nearly three weeks before it was put out. After the fire there were few trees left. The whole area almost became a desert. When it rained heavily, the rain not only washed away the soil but caused serious floods as well. The villagers there know how important the forest can be. Shortly after the fire the villagers there began to plant trees. In many places young trees have been plante D.New forest begins to appear again.

But all the furniture was burnt and the house was completely destroyed. It has to be rebuilt. It has been found out that a burning cigarette had caused the fire.
What a lesson!
Smoking not only does harm to health, but also causes accidents.

It can be used to help teachers to make their teaching plans and help the students to remember English words. If it is used in a ticket office, it will be much easier for passengers to buy their tickets. If you put the information about different illnesses into the computer, it will tell you what's wrong with you and what medicine you should take. Although the computer is a bit expensive, it will save you a lot of time and give you more pleasure. So it is not a waste of money to buy it.

Yesterday afternoon at the railway station, a stranger asked me the way to the First Middle School. I told him it was very easy to find his way to the school. “When you come out of the station,”I said to him, “turn left and walk until you reach the traffic lights. Turn left again. You will be on Hong Qi street. Keep walking until you come to the cinemA.Just after the cinema, there is a narrow street on the left. This is Jian Fang Street. The school is about 200 metres down this street on the right. There is a hospital oppositely.”

The Broadcasting Station of Our School
There is a broadcasting station in our school. All kinds of programmes are broadcast here. For example, brief news, moral education, voice of the class,sports entertainment, music appreciation are broadcast on the air all over the school. It broadcasts both self-made programmes and relays. They are all good, in my opinion. If we want to improve our English, we'd better pick up the English programme every day. It isn't difficult to understand. We can also listen to English programmes on the radio. As a result, the more we listen to the programmes, the more we know. We can also write to the station to give advice or to ask for what we want.

Jack, Mike and Brown stayed at a hotel in New York. Their room number is 501 on the 50th floor.
Yesterday evening, the lift wasn't working, so they had to walk upstairs back to their room. To make things easier, they decided to tell some stories in turn.
Jack told a long story. When he finished telling it, they had reached the 15th floor. Mike told a much longer story. He didn't finish it until they had climbed up the 40th floor. Now it was Brown's turn to tell his story. He told a very short story which was made up of only one sentence, that is, “We have left the key of our room on the desk downstairs.”
