新目标(Go for it)版初中英语八年级上册Unit 10 If you go to the party, you'll have a great time! 第2课时
Dear Mom,
I don't think you understand me. You think I should be studying all the time. I know you want me to find a good job when I grow up, but I would like to have a wonderful time, too. You never let me do something fun like listening to music or playing sports.
Two days ago, when I was watching a football game on TV, you asked me to stop to do my homework. After finishing my homework, I still wasn't allowed to read my football magazine. You said I had to go to bed early. That was bad enough, but yesterday was the worst day. I bought some CDs of computer games, and put them in my bag so that you wouldn't see them. I told you I had to do my homework first. I know it was wrong to lie to you but you told me that Dad would talk to me later. Mom, I don't like what you did to me! I really love you, Mom, but I wish you could try not to be so strict with me.
Love,
Zhang Shuai

Last June, when my mother told me she had planned a four-day visit to Dubai with me, I was very excited. Tourists from all over the world come to see the sights in this amazing city and experience its culture.
On our first day, we visited the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. It is 828 metres high and it holds several records. After that we visited the Arabian Desert. The next day, we visited the Palm Jumeirah, the world's largest man-made island. The island is made from all natural materials (材料) because the Prince of Dubai wanted to give it a more natural look. The island itself looks like a palm tree from above, with one main strip(条) of land and 16 strips, 8 on each side. They all come from the middle, and make the island appear like a palm tree.
Dubai is home to the world's largest shopping centre. So on the third day, after a short boat ride away from our hotel, my mother and I spent the whole day shopping there. We returned home in the afternoon the next day. It was a fantastic trip.

Susan and Annie are both from Holland. Here are their emails.
Dear Susan, Thanks for your last email! My knees have been OK since I left hospital last week. But I feel very lonely, especially in the day. You might think many kinds of games can help me while they are boring for me. What should I do? Yours, Annie

Dear Annie, ①Sorry to hear you're lonely! ②I think you need someone to talk with. When you have a walk in the neighbourhood, start a conversation with others in a friendly way. And I remember you like shopping. Do you talk with the cashier(收银员) while checking out? It's common to check out quickly, so people behind us inline won't wait too long. But do you know "chat checkout" programme? It is introduced by Jumbo, our large supermarket chain(连锁超市). In some of its stores, customers can talk with cashiers for as long as they want. There is also a chat corner in the supermarket. People can have a good time talking with each other over a nice cup of coffee. The world continues to move faster and faster. Many people sometimes find themselves feeling lonely. The programme is to play a role in helping people tocombat loneliness. This "chat checkout" service is so popular that Jumbo is planning to introduce it into more supermarkets. As you can see, more people in our country follow a different rule at some supermarkets: Chatting happily is more important than checking out quickly. ③Why not have a try to chat with cashiers when you go shopping next time? Love, Susan |
