Decide how to show information

● Use maps, lists, charts to show facts clearly.

●  Use drawings, cartoons, photos, etc. to make your booklet more interesting.

● Use your own stories to give examples and opinions.

Design the booklet

● What is the title?

● How many pages?

● What size? A4 , A5 or even smaller?

● What shape? Square, round or some special shape?

Anna and her family enjoy their visit in China. Now she is checking the weather forecast before making plans for the following days.

Everyone needs friends. How do you have real friendship and keep it?

The American writer Sally Seaman tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed（种子）and take care of it to make it grow. 

What makes a good friend? It s not because he or she has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient（有耐心的）. For example, if you are in a bad mood, a good friend should listen to you and do his or her best to help you. 

But things can t always be happy. Even the best friends have fights （争 吵）. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You, d better talk to him or her. 

There are three steps（步）to be friends again： say sorry to him or her； tell him or her how you are feeling； tell him or her why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
