Hans says to his friend Kurt,“I'm going to take my car and drive to London.” Kurt says, “Driving to London is very difficult.You aren't going to find your hotel.” But Hans is not afraid.He drives to Calais, puts his car on his ship, takes it off at Dover, and drives to London.
He stops near the city and looks at his map.Then he drives into London, but he doesn't find his hotel.He drives round and round for an hour, and then he stops and gets out of his car.A taxi comes, and Hans stops it.“Take me to the Brussels Hotel,” he says.But he doesn't get into the taxi, he gets back into his car.The taxi man laughs, but then he drives to the Brussels Hotel and Hans follows him in his car.They get to the hotel in two minutes(两分钟后).
Do you like sports?If your answer is yes, sometimes you'll find it very difficult to have enough time to do it, even if it's on weekends.However, you don't have to worry now because a“sunshine sports”program was launched(启动)by the Ministry of Education(教育部).
It suggests students around the country have an hour of sports every day.The difference is that students will be able to do any sport they please.The idea is to make students happy and keep them healthy at the same time.
Han Jiawen, from Shanghai Yangsi Middle School, likes the idea.Han and her classmates skip rope together.“We have a good time.”said Han,“Playing is better than having classes.”
Wang Lichao welcomes the idea, too.“It's good to be able to breathe some fresh air instead of sitting in the classroom.”
But the 14-year-old from Tianjin wonders whether there will be enough space for everyone.“With so many students outside,”he said,“I'm afraid there won't be enough standing room in the playground.”
Wu Jiatong's school is in Liaoning.Wu and other students have been jogging(慢跑)for 40 minutes every morning.“It's tiring.”said Wu,“But we do feel healthier.”“We hope we can do what we want.The school says later we can have rope jumping or kicking(踢)Jianzi.I can't wait!”she said.
What about your school?There must be more sports that interest you and your schoolmates.
