Sports

I love basketball. Here in the USA, it is one of the most popular sports. You can see lots of boys and girls playing it in the parks. I play basketball with my friends every afternoon and on Saturday morning, I play it in the home garden with my father and my brother Bob. I'm on the school team (队). My favorite player is Michael Jordan. I want to be a P.E. teacher when I grow up (长大).

一 Tim

I’m Italian and my favorite sport is soccer. At school, I have soccer lessons on Monday and Wednesday. On Friday afternoon, my class usually have a soccer game with another class. We are very good at soccer and we often win. Of course, I m on the school team. I have a lot of friends and on Sunday afternoon, we play soccer in the park.

——Mike

I live in England, and I love cycling (骑自行车). In summer, I go cycling every morning. In winter, it’s difficult to go cycling because it often rains. My parents also love cycling, so we often go on vacation by bike. Last year we traveled (旅行)to France by bike,and it was fantastic!

Andrew Holleman, a 12-year-old boy,loved playing in the open land near his home.The land was wet and forested, and made a home for birds, other animals and many different plants.

It made the perfect place for him to study and get to know the nature. He had seen some red-tail hawks, red foxes, wood turtles and other animals. He also found special native flowers.

Suddenly it was announced that the “empty” land would be improved by a lot of houses on it. The plants would be removed, the animals would run away and most would probably die. Then the wet soil would be covered with extra grounds.

When he heard about the news, he was not happy. He was very worried that the land ans water would be polluted.

Andrew wrote down clearly all the research he had down about the area, and how the houses would affect the local environment. He sent letters to members of local government and television reporters. He also called on his neighbors toopposethe building of the houses.

Although he was only 12 years old, he had the courage and wisdom of a person much older. Andrew’ s teachers described him as gentle, shy and active. His classmates also admired how much he knew about local animals and plants,and the environment.Each day after school, Andrew went door-to-door, to ask the people to sign, who did not want the houses to be built. In only one month, he got the signatures of 250 people.

It's hard when a best friend isn't around—maybe because you move to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break (课间) or lunchtime. You want to have new friends,but how do you make them?

Start by looking around your classroom. Think about which kids you'd like to play with at break. Say hi to them,smile,and be friendly. Ask them to enjoy something or talk with them about something they may be interested in. Invite someone to play with you or ask “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you're at break,walk to kids you want to play with,and say “Hi,can I play,too?” or just join in.

If you are feeling shy (害羞),ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind,be friendly,say nice things and help others—soon you'll have one,or two,or even more new friends.
