Football is, I suppose, the most popular game in England. Rich and{#blank#}1{#/blank#} , young and old, you can see them all there, shouting and{#blank#}2{#/blank#} for one side or the other.
        You may be surprised to find that even the smallest boy seems to have the great{#blank#}3{#/blank#} of the game. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has{#blank#}4{#/blank#} of them and knows the results of many matches. He will tell you who he expects will{#blank#}5{#/blank#} such and such a match, and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age.
     In England, it is{#blank#}6{#/blank#} that education means not only filling a boy's mind with facts in a classroom but also training character. One of the{#blank#}7{#/blank#} ways of training character is by playing games,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} team games, where the boy has to learn to work with others for his team, instead of working{#blank#}9{#/blank#} himself alone.
    Football is good exercise for the{#blank#}10{#/blank#} , it is a team game, it needs skill and a quick brain. So the school often arranges games and matches for its pupils.

    I often stay at home{#blank#}1{#/blank#} every weekend．But it's going to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} different next weekend．On Saturday morning I'm going {#blank#}3{#/blank#}with my parents．In the afternoon we are going to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} litter in the park near our house．On Sunday morning I'm going to see a movie with my friends and I'm going to fly a kite with my father on Sunday afternoon．I'm going to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a lot of fun next weekend．

Dear Jessica,

    Let me introduce {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. My name is Wang Mei. I'm twelve years old. I live with my mother and father. I have no brothers {#blank#}2{#/blank#} sisters, but I have many friends. I am 1.6 metres tall. I like to play chess. Last year, I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} first place in my school. My favorite food is noodles. I can {#blank#}4{#/blank#} noodles myself!

    Do you study any other languages in school? I am learning English now. I want to have some more English-speaking friends. Learning English {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the world up to me.

    Here is a picture of me. What do you look like? Can you send me a photo of yourself? I'm looking forward to your reply.

Your new Chinese friend,

Wang Mei
