A: Excuse me!? I am new here.

B: The post office? It is in front of a supermarket. You can walk there because it isn't far from here.

A:?

B: Of course. Just go along this street until you reach the second crossing. Turn left. Go straight until you find the library. Then turn right at the library. After that, keep going and you can find the post office is on your left.

A: Wow, that's so far.?

B: You can take the NO.44 bus there. That will be faster.

A: OK..

B: You are welcome.?

A: Because I want to buy some postcards for my friends.

B: Oh, I see.

Lucy is a student in Grade 9. She manages her time (wise). Every morning, she makes some (plan) before school starts. For example, she decides (finish) math homework before dinner and review English during breaks.

Her room is always clean tidy. She cleans her room every day. There is desk in her room. On the desk, books are order. She thinks that the tidy desk helps (she) focus better.

Lucy also balances study and fun. When she feels tired, she listens soft music or does jumps for five minutes. These small breaks refresh her mind. On weekends, she often (visit) the library to borrow storybooks. Reading not only makes her feel (relax) but also improves her (write) skills. Last month, she was praised by the teacher. Why? Because she (use) creative ideas from those books in her writing.

So far, she (follow) her self-management habit for three years. Though challenges appear sometimes, she never gives up. "I (keep) trying in the future," she says. "Self-management makes me (strong) than ever before." Let's learn to manage our study and life.

Reading is a wonderful habit to develop. It is a great thing to do when you are bored. Here are some ways to develop a reading habit.

Start by reading a few minutes every day. Read every day, even if it is just for 10 minutes. Read when you get up early or before you go to bed. If you can, read at the same time every day. This will make your brain regard it as "reading" time.

Read what you are interested in. Reading can be a trouble if you do not like the book. Reading books that you enjoy will help you stick to (坚持) your habit and become a reader. Once you have great interest, it's hard to put a book down.

Carry a book everywhere. Books can be heavy and big, which used to make it hard to read everywhere. Now you can read books on a smartphone. When you are waiting for a bus or waiting in line at a store, open your book app and read. If you cannot read on an app, find a book that is easy to carry with you.

Set a reading goal. A goal is something you are trying to achieve. Maybe your goal will be to read 5 or 10 books this year, or you even try to read 100 books. Setting a goal will remind you to read every day. Reaching it will make you feel good and make reading even more fun.

Look for city tourism cards. With these cards, you can pay less at restaurants and shops. You don't have to wait for a long time at busy attractions. You might even get free tickets to top tourist attractions. City tourism cards can save your money and time without question.

Don't get the best room. How long will you stay in your room? Will you just be sleeping there? Do you really need a bigger room with a good view?

Find a hotel outside a city. It can help you save some money by choosing a hotel away from big tourist attractions, for you are always doing the same—go to the attractions and return to the hotel to sleep.

Book a room with a kitchen. Although some people might not like to cook while on vacation, I don't mind making breakfast in my room. People always eat at a nice restaurant on their last night of the vacation. I'd rather (宁愿) eat breakfast and lunch at the hotel and then spend much money on a delicious supper.

Emma: I was so excited about it for the first two days that I couldn't listen to the teachers carefully. But soon my classmates and I got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). Now our class is quieter. What's more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It's a better way to study.

David: I like it, too. Group members first discuss, and then show to the whole class. It encourages us greatly.

Linda, an English teacher: This was part of a reform (改革) at our school. The school made this reform because we want to offer students easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. Our school hopes to improve students' abilities to study by themselves and work in groups.

Steven, the school master: The reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only15 minutes to give a lesson that would have been taught in 40 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively (有效地). The reform demands more, but I'm sure it is helpful.

As a festival, Qingming is believed to have a history of about 2,500 years. The most important tradition of Qingming is to honor ancestors and remember the dead family members. So Qingming is also called Tomb-Sweeping Day. When sweeping the graves, people pray, clean the tombstones and burn offerings, usually paper money, paper clothes, paper houses and now even a paper phone.

Lots of ancient poets expressed their sad feelings with words. One of the most famous poems describing the festival was the poem Qingming by Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty as follows: A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day; The mourner's heart is going to break on his way. "Where can a wine shop be found to drown my sad hours?" A cowherd points to a cot amid apricot flowers.

Some traditions of Qingming have brought such problems as traffic jams and air pollution or even forest fires. As part of a greener Qingming campaign, people have been encouraged to pay respect to their ancestors and dead family members online, or burn less or no paper money to protect the environment.

How is it going? Thank you for sending me a1. I really like the stamp on the postcard. It's2. I like it. Oh, I forgot to say sorry to you. Just now I didn't answer your phone call. Ha ha, when you called me, I was taking a shower in the3.

Now I will tell you Cindy's4. Cindy lives at 16 Park Street. It's very5 to take the subway to Cindy's house. Her house is across from the subway station. Of course, you can drive a car there. Near Cindy's house, there's an underground6. But I7 you to get there by subway. Taking a car can cost lots of money. Taking the subway is inexpensive. On the left of her house, there's a small8. From Monday to Friday, it's9. But on the weekend, you can see many people buy books there. On the right of her house is a fruit store. In it there are all kinds of fruits such as bananas, apples, oranges and10. Before you visit Cindy, you should give her a call. Oh, I have to go! Mom needs my help.

Yours,

Jeff

I'm Jim. My new school has a very special (特别的) teacher—Ms Shao. She is 80 years old. Now she still teaches music at our school. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, many students go to her class to learn the pipa and erhu.

These students are from different grades. Some are in Grade 1, and some are in Grade 7 like me. Ms Shao's classes are really fun. She always teaches us patiently (耐心地). Many parents are happy to let their kids learn music here, so more and more students are in the class.

Ms Shao is always kind to us. We all like her very much. After class, I sometimes help clean her desk, and my friend Ding Jiewen often helps clean the floor. Ms Shao always smiles (微笑) and says "thank you" to us.

Some people say to Ms Shao, "You are old. You should stay at home and enjoy life (生活)." But Ms Shao doesn't think so. She says, "Music is nice, and I want more students to love it and learn it."

I think Ms Shao is a great teacher. Her class makes my new school life more interesting. I'm glad to learn music from her!

Lucy asks Mrs Green, "There is a colour in every sentence. What do they mean?" Mrs Green tells her that some colours can show people's feelings in English. She gives her some examples: blue means "sad" , and yellow means "scared". Lucy finds this interesting and then asks about "a white lie". Mrs Green tells her that a white lie is not a bad one. Puzzled (疑惑地), Lucy asks, "A lie isn't bad? How so? Can you tell me why not?"

Mrs Green gives her an example again, "Suppose (假设) I want to give you a cake. You don't like it, but you just (只是) say, ‘No, thanks. I'm not hungry.' That's a white lie." After hearing the example, Lucy understands and thanks Mrs Green.

First, Miss Li tells us about "orange". Long ago, people only used "orange" for the fruit. Later, they saw the colour of the fruit was warm, so they began to use "orange" for that colour, too. We all say, "Wow, I see why the colour is called orange! It's easy to remember!"

Then she tells us about "tomato". Many years ago, some people called tomatoes "love apples". They even gave tomatoes to their friends as gifts! Now, we all call them "tomatoes" in English, but we still think "love apples" is a nice name.

Miss Li also shares a fun word "tofu". We all know it's a Chinese food, but do you know its English name comes from Chinese? In Chinese, we call it "doufu". Miss Li says many English words like "ketchup" and "dim sum" also come from Chinese.

After class, I see "eggplant" in the supermarket. I remember Miss Li said the word "eggplant" comes from English. Why? Because early eggplants were white and looked like goose (鹅) eggs! That's really interesting!

See the girl with long hair? That's Wang Mei. She likes drawing pictures. The boy in the red cap is Liu Tao. He likes running. He often runs on the playground after school. Our teacher, Ms Liu, is behind them. She looks happy, and a book is in her hands.

This photo shows how happy we are in our new school. We have different favourite things, but we all have a lot of fun. I love my new friends and teachers!

Hi Li Tao,

How are you doing these days? Today is my first day at Star Middle School. I walk to school and meet up my old friend Jack. We're glad (see) each other again. Jack and I are in same grade. He shows me the school. We see the library, the playground and an orange (build) with many windows. Jack tells me our classroom is in it. There are many flowers and trees in our school, so it looks a beautiful garden. Today we have Chinese, maths, English, PE, and some other subjects. Jack says (he) favourite subject is Chinese. He wants to learn more Chinese culture. He has fun (talk) with friends in Chinese. He thinks Chinese is very (amaze). I'm good at Chinese. So I will help him with Chinese. Our teachers (be) very kind to us. All of the students like (they) a lot. After school, I don't go home (quick). I talk with Jack for more ten minutes. We both think today is great.

I like my new school. How about your school days?

Best (wish),

Wang Ming

First, try to read short English books. When you meet new words, don't worry. You can write them down, and look up (查询) their3 in a dictionary (词典) later.

Second, writing helps, too. Keep a4 in English each day. This can improve (提高) your writing5.

It's a good idea to6 an English club. You can talk with7 students in English there. You may8 say wrong words. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Open your mouth and speak. And learning English9 to keep learning. Don't stop when it is difficult.

In this way, you will get better,10 you will also like learning English better.

Have you said daomei to yourself when you fail to do something? The phrase "daomei" (use) widely to describe bad luck. Actually, its story can (go) back to the Ming Dynasty. It is tied to the keju testing in ancient China.

At the time, there were no entrance (examination) for colleges and universities like today. If someone wanted to become an officer for their country, the emperor required them (take) the keju tests.

The keju had several tests at different levels. The keju tests were hard and the competition was (excite). Through the highest-level tests, called "dianshi", the (good) talents were chosen by the emperor in person.

During the tests, the family of those talents would put up a flagpole in front of their home gate, wishing (they) good luck on the exams. People called the flagpole "mei" at the time. If someone passed a test, the flagpole would be kept up. If they (fail), the flagpole would be taken down. That was called "daomei", meaning "the flagpole falls".

The keju had a great influence in history, daomei came to show not only "failing a test", but also to describe being (lucky) in general. The Chinese character for mei was also changed from "楣" to today's "霉", since the two have the same (pronounce).
