When parents send their children to school，often they don't know what happens day to day. Parents depend on what their children tell them about they are doing and what they are learning. Generally schools will host parent-teacher meeting at least twice a year. Parent-teacher meetings are short meetings between parents and their children's teacher. Usually they are held when teachers give put a student's grades for the term. The parent-teacher meetings give teachers a chance to let parents know how their child is doing. A teacher will let a parent know the student's advantages and bring to the parent's attention any problems with grades or behavior(行为).The meetings also offer parents the chance to ask questions and see what their child is learning.

    Most children do not go along with their parents to the meetings. This allows both the parent and teacher to talk honestly about the child's progress without making the child feel bad. Usually a teacher will offer advice to the parent on how to support their child's education.

There are three friends waiting (等待) for Yao  Wei.  It is 8:25 p.m. Yao Wei is late. They want to know if he will say "sorry" for being late. 5 minutes later, Yao Wei arrives. But he doesn't say "sorry" when he arrives. To their surprise, he only says, "Hey, thanks for waiting." The others say, "You're welcome." They feel it is fine, then they have dinner.

Sometimes we can say "thank you", not "sorry". For example, you are feeling sad about something, and you're talking about it with a friend for a long time. You may say "Thank you for listening", but not "Sorry for talking too much". Sometimes, "thank you" can sound better than "sorry".

 Hello, everyone. My name is Li Hua. Let me introduce my good friend Tom here.

There were no {#blank#}1{#/blank#} that afternoon. Henry went to a clothes shop near his home. The shop {#blank#}2{#/blank#} many jackets. He looked at {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and found a very nice one. He told the shopkeeper (店主) to put it into a bag.

At that time his friend Bruce came into the shop. They didn't see each other for a long time. They were so {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to meet again that they forgot everything. Soon they were busy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} with each other. And they talked {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. It was six o' clock, so they wanted to go and have {#blank#}7{#/blank#} together. They walked to the door. The shopkeeper stopped them and asked Henry to pay for the jacket. Henry looked at him in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} at first, but soon he remembered that he didn't pay for it. He said {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. And he gave him the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} and then left the shop with his friend.
