Children today have many things to play with. They can watch television, surf {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Internet, or play video games. But what do you think children {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (do) for fun long ago? They read books.

    Some of you might ask, "Are books {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (real) fun?" Believe it or not, books provide many things that television or computers cannot. Since books use only words {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (tell) a story, they can improve your imagination. You can picture the characters and background in your head and you can also imagine {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the characters feel.

    The words and sentences that are used in storytelling are also very interesting and usually cannot be found often on television or on websites. They are sometimes so beautiful and touching {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they can bring tears to your eyes.

    Books also help us to think harder and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (deep). As we continue {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(read), we ask questions to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(our) and try to find answers.

    These are some of the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(reason) why books are so fun to read.

    Remember: the more you read, the more you grow.

    A good friend is like a mirror. Everyone {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(need) friends. We can share secrets {#blank#}2{#/blank#} our friends and turn to them for h{#blank#}3{#/blank#} when we are in trouble. But do you know how to make friends? First, learn to smile. A smile always makes the others like you. Smile at someone and you are sure to get a smile back from {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(he). Second, try to remember names. It makes your new friends f{#blank#}5{#/blank#} happy when you call them by their names b{#blank#}6{#/blank#} you don't forget them. Third, learn to discuss instead of arguing when you have {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(difference) ideas. If you don't agree with other people, you should still be friendly. Teenagers need to have one or a group of good friends because friends can discuss things which are too difficult to say to their family {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(member). All in all, a good friend will help to bring out the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(good) in you. Once you have {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(find) such a good friend, do treasure him.

    I'm a fan of movies. There are quite a few {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(cinema) in my town. But I am new in town and don't know them clearly. So my friends give me some information {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(choose) a good one.

    Speaker 1: I'm Linda. The City Theater has the newest movies and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(comfortable) seats. The prices of the tickets are also fair(合理的).{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, it isn't open on Tuesday and Thursday.

    Speaker 2: I'm Daniel. The Tianhe Cinema is the most modern cinema {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the biggest screens. But the service isn't so good and people can't bring food or drinks into the cinema. They can only buy them inside the cinema. So I hardly {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(watch) movies there before.

    Speaker 3: I'm Eric. The Star Cinema is my favorite. One of the main reasons {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) that it has the funniest movies and the seats are very comfortable. It's open every day and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you go there on Monday and Wednesday morning, you will find the tickets are half price. It also provides（提供）free water and its big hall can hold (容纳) two hundred people at a time. Of course, the screens are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (true) big. So I will invite my friends to see {#blank#}10{#/blank#} film there on my birthday.

—Yes.

    Last night I went to see a film with my friend, Tom. The film was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}at the Sunshine Film Theatre. Tom said that it was the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(good) film theatre in our city. I thought it had the most comfortable seats and the biggest {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(screen). But all was different {#blank#}4{#/blank#}what I expected(预料). The screen was{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(bigger) but we couldn't see the film {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(clear). The seats were really hard. We felt {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(comfortable) when we sat on them. I went {#blank#}8{#/blank#}as soon as the film was over.

    Another thing that made us angry was the tickets. There were so many people {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(wait) at the ticket office. It took us about an hour to get the tickets.

    I don't think it is the best film theatre in our city. I think it's the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(bad) one.
