Children don't go to school on Saturdays and Sundays, but they usually have homework to do over the weekend. Some do their homework on Friday afternoon.

  T{#blank#}1{#/blank#} They can enjoy the whole weekend. Others decide to r{#blank#}2{#/blank#} first and do their homework on Sunday afternoon.

   Saturday morning is a popular time for sports and other activities. A lot of schools have sports matches against other schools. Sports centres are usually very  b{#blank#}3{#/blank#}  too. They usually have classes for different things like tennis, basketball, swimming and so on.

  Saturday afternoon is normally the time for professional sports matches. There's always lots of sport on TV. Most rugby and football matches s{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  at three o'clock.

  In the evening, most people want some kind of entertainment(娱乐). Older teenagers go to the cinema or they go dancing at a club. At home, the television has many p{#blank#}5{#/blank#}for family entertainment, such as The X Factor Merlin or Doctor Who.

 On Sunday mornings, people often have alie-in (懒觉).  That means that they get up l {#blank#}6{#/blank#} than they do during the week. Some people go to church on Sunday mornings. Families often have a big Sunday lunch together. The meal is usually roast meat (beef, chicken, etc. ) with v{#blank#}7{#/blank#}  . And there's usually a big pudding, too.

 After that, a lot of adults spend the afternoon having a nap ( =sleeping) in front of the TV!

 Shopping centers are popular  p{#blank#}8{#/blank#}  to go on Sunday afternoons. All the big shops are open usually 11 a. m.  t0 5 p. m. ,b{#blank#}9{#/blank#} most smaller shops are closed all day.

  Then it's Sunday evening, and your parents say: Come on, it's school a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} tomorrow. So it's time to do your homework if you haven't done it yet, then pack yourschool bag and have an early night.

Hi Christine,
Sorry I haven't emailed lately —I've been very busy since becoming a volunteer for the Riding for the Disabled Association.
Every Saturday, I help to get the horses {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  for the disabled(残疾) riders. Many more disabled people want to ride {#blank#}2{#/blank#} than you'd imagine. It's a disadvantage that I don't know how to ride —I'd love to got on long rides with the riders— but I'll learn soon {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . Right now, I'm just happy to be able to lead the horses around for the disabled riders.
    I'm{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  helping to organize a sale, which will be {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  next month. It's a lot more work than helping the disabled. I need to collect second-hand things to sell at the sale. There are {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  things available(获得的) than I thought, but I'm sure we'll have enough{#blank#}7{#/blank#}  next month.
     I hope the sale raises more money than last month's walk. It was rainy, so too few people took part in the event. Last week, we held an auction(拍卖). The auction took much less {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to organize than the walk. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} , for some reason, people offered too little money for the things, so we didn't raise enough money.
     I'm {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you some pictures in the letter, as well as a speech I gave last week.

A. Remember the environment

B. Keep a good memory for your holiday

Travel Tips for Holidays Abroad

Everyone loves holiday abroad. They give us the chance to see some sights, have some fun and relax. However, holidays aren't always a great experience. Follow these tips to make sure you enjoy your holiday.

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

Have you packed your passport? Your tickets? Every year, thousands of people miss flights because they've forgotten their passport, they arrive at the airport too late, or even go to the wrong airport.

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

How much do you know about the place you are going to visit? Learning a little about the culture of a country will help you understand the people. Learning a few words of another language can also help you make new friends.

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

Try to reduce the pollution you cause. Travel by train if you can. Flying produces twenty times more carbon dioxide than traveling by train. Of course, it might be impossible to avoid flying, but when you arrive, use buses or trains instead of taxis.

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

You can help a local community a lot by staying in local hotels and eating in local restaurants. This means that your money will go to local people, rather than to a large international company.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

You don't want to forget your holiday. Make a scrapbook-a book of memories-about your holiday. You can show it to friends, or just use it to remember all the good times you had! And don't forget the new friends you made on holiday. Did you promise to send them pictures or presents? Don't forget to do it! Then next time you go on holiday, you can visit them again.

Dear Liz,

    Thank you very much for your letter and the photos of your {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (朋友) and family. They look really nice {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (在……里) the photo. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (现在) I can tell you something about me and my family here in New York.

    I have two brothers. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (他们) names are Lukas and Andreas and they are 16 and 19. My {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (妈妈) is French and her name is Christine. Dad is American and his name's Dieter. Our house has four bedrooms and a small garden. My room is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (整洁的), but my {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (哥哥) is not. He puts his things {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (到处). We have a dog, Zak, and we {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (认为) he's cute. It {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (帮助) us a lot.

    Please tell me all about your friends and school in your next letter. I'd like to know about English schools.

Love,

Laura

    It was Sunday morning. The{#blank#}1{#/blank#} was fine. David and his friends didn't go to school. They {#blank#}2{#/blank#} fishing in a river. His friends often go fishing, so they are good at fishing. They caught one fish after another. It was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} first time for David to go fishing. Unfortunately, David caught none. Half an hour later, David had an idea. He went to a fish shop nearby. It sold all kinds of fishes in the shop, He {#blank#}4{#/blank#}one of the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} fish in it. Then he went back to the river. He {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the hook into the fish's {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, and then threw the fish into the river. His friends knew nothing about all of this, because {#blank#}8{#/blank#}of them had his own work to do.

    After a few minutes, David shouted, “{#blank#}9{#/blank#} a big fish I've caught last!" His friends were all surprising when they saw David pulling a big fish up from the water. They asked him how he was able to catch {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a big fish. David had nothing to say, and he only smiled instead.

    Hello, everyone! Tomorrow we'll go for a trip in the mountains. Before we start, there are some {#blank#}1{#/blank#} and suggestions for you. First, everyone should {#blank#}2{#/blank#} sports shoes. Second, when you walk in the mountains, you mustn't walk too {#blank#}3{#/blank#} "to the edge of the path. Third, you must keep {#blank#}4{#/blank#} or you'll get lost. Fourth, bring some water with you, or you'll be {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    We need to put up a tent to stay at night in the mountains. Be careful of the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} when you are in the forest. Although some animals look {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they are really dangerous. If you meet animals, don't move suddenly. Just keep still until they {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Remember to hang your food in the tree before you go to sleep Hope everyone can have a good trip.
