I was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with others. However, learning came fairly (相当地) easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my nightmare (噩梦) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others. Miss Forsythe was our PE teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes. No one could hide from Miss Forsythe!

    One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather worried that I wouldn't do a good job as she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement, I had no choice but to agree.

    It was a "boy meets girl" game. I played the boy and my classmate, Margaret Ann. played the girl. We were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe. I had to pick up Margaret Ann when we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall! It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending! Afterwards. I smiled confidently. Miss Forsythe's understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher.

How to prepare for the first day of school

It's totally normal to feel a little nervous on the first day of school. But don't worry! There are some things you can do to prepare and make your first day easy. 

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Give yourself plenty of time to get up and get yourself ready for your first day by setting an alarm for about an hour before you need to get to school. Set 2 alarms on your clock or phone so you don't sleep-through the first one and wake up late. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

School is a great place to meet up with old friends and make new ones. Meet up with old friends that you already know and talk about what you did over the summer. Introduce yourself to new people that you meet in your classes or in the hallways to make new friends. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Give your mind a break by standing up and walking around for 5 minutes or so every hour. After your break. you may feel energized and focused enough to get back to work. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

If you're unclear about something or you're having difficulty accessing a resource, send your teacher a message by e-mail. Explain your problem in detail, including anything you've already tried to fix it. 

A. Try to enjoy yourself on your first day

B. Reach out to your teachers if you're struggling

C. Take a short break every hour or so to help you focus

D. Set 2 alarms 10 minutes apart so you're sure to wake up

E. Talk to your friends and classmates about your summer

What else can you do to prepare for the first day of school?{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

Mingming is a lovely boy. He likes animals very much. His parents take him to Wuhan Zoo{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Sunday. There they can m{#blank#}2{#/blank#} many animals. And family outing is great f{#blank#}3{#/blank#} for them. They like different kinds of animals. Mingming {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( think) monkeys are clever and he likes them best. His father likes tigers best. His mother's favourite animals are pandas. She thinks the black- and- white animals {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( be) very kind and cute. They also s{#blank#}6{#/blank#} penguins, giraffes, elephants and so on. And they take many {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( photo) there. It's r{#blank#}8{#/blank#} for them to do so.

At the end of the d{#blank#}9{#/blank#}, Mingming's parents even buy some souvenirs (纪念品) for{#blank#}10{#/blank#}( he). All of them are very happy in the zoo. Mingming really wants to visit the zoo again.

Hi, I'm Mark and I am from England. I like going to different places with my family, because I like to meet different people and see different things. I find them interesting. Here are the places whereI go.

 In Greece, my friend's mother keeps giving me more coffee after I shake(摇) my head so many times! Why? Because shaking your head means yes and nodding(点头) means no. But in America, it's different!

In India, people just use their hands to have meals. But in many other countries, people use different things to get the food into their mouths.

 In Korea, I don't see people look at me in the eye. Later, I find that it's not polite to do this in Korea because it makes Koreans feel bad.

Last winter holiday, I went to an island with my parents. The island is 142, 000 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} metres. We had breakfast at {#blank#}2{#/blank#} 9:00 am. The {#blank#}3{#/blank#} there were different from those in cities. I took lots of pictures there.
