Hey, friends! Have you ever heard {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my grandfather, Mr Sun? He is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to speak three languages: Chinese, English and French. My grandfather is a good{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . If there is something wrong with your teeth, you can go to see my grandfather. Last year my grandfather retired. He {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my city and went to the countryside. He built a small house and lived there {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . Well, I found my grandfather never felt {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in the countryside. In fact he had a great time. Every day many old people went to see him. When the{#blank#}7{#/blank#} was sunny and warm, they usually sat under the tree in front of his house. They talked {#blank#}8{#/blank#} watched his cat climbing the tree. And they {#blank#}9{#/blank#} his parrot sing in the tree. If you also visit his house in the countryside, you'll {#blank#}10{#/blank#} in love with it. Next weekend I'll go to see him.

      Learning in class is a way for students to study. Students sit in the classroom and  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to the teacher. Is this the  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} way for students to learn something? Of course not. There is another way to learn, that is, students can teach   {#blank#}3{#/blank#} .

      How do you teach yourself ? The {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  thing you must do is reading. Read something you are interested in,   {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  what you have to read. The second is that you must ask yourself {#blank#}6{#/blank#} . You can write down the questions. A clever student is usually good at  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} questions. The third is to answer the questions yourself   {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  thinking hard, by reading the text or other books, and sometimes by asking other people. This is the way of teaching yourself. And you must do all these by yourself. If you keep  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  like this for a long time, you are sure to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  in your study.

One day, Mr. White told the class to get ready for a hobby show. The students {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the whole morning getting what they were going to show.
All the students came back on time but Bob, the laziest {#blank#}2{#/blank#} in his classmates' eyes. It seemed that it was very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} for Bob to have a hobby. But to their surprise, Bob came back with many {#blank#}4{#/blank#} stamps in his hand. Mr. White was very happy after watching them. However, Bob was going to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} them back.
“Bob, you can't take them back until the others watch them this afternoon,” said Mr. White.
“But I am sorry they are my brother''s,” he answered. “He doesn't want them to be out of our home for long. He's afraid that they will be {#blank#}6{#/blank#} .”
“Bob, you should show some of your own {#blank#}7{#/blank#} here, not someone else's. Mr. White became kind of angry.
But Bob's words made him even {#blank#}8{#/blank#} . “Mr. White, it's true that I have a hobby. My hobby is watching my brother collecting stamps.”

    Anna comes from Russia. She is 17 years old. She's going to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with the Black family for a year. Anna comes to England {#blank#}2{#/blank#} she wants to study English. She helps Mrs. Black do housework in the house and goes to English {#blank#}3{#/blank#} every. Wednesday and Friday afternoon.

    Anna is now in London. Everything is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to her. She finds life is different {#blank#}5{#/blank#} that in Moscow. Some things are nice in London. Many things are not so nice. The shops are {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in London than those in Moscow. But it's very expensive to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} herself in London. It's expensive to have a meal at a restaurant {#blank#}8{#/blank#} go to a cinema.

    Now Anna has got used to many things, but she can't get used to the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in England. "You English eat so much in the morning," she often says. "Fruits, porridge, eggs, tea and bread. How can you face {#blank#}10{#/blank#} that food so early in the day?"
