The Windy Day

Book report By Jason Ma

Title(标题): The Windy Day

Writer: Alisha Wood

The reason for my choice:

The idea of a recent popular film comes from Alisha Wood’s stories. The story interests me.

Summary of the book:

It is about what happens to a little boy called Daniel on a windy day. One day, Daniel is flying his kite on Peace Hill. Suddenly, a strong wind blows up the hill and lifts Daniel right off his feet. Daniel holds on to his kite tightly(紧紧地) and is blown into the clouds. Finally, he lands in a small town with a sign, “Nowhere: The Town Nobody’s Ever Heard Of”. This worries Daniel.

He asks people around where Nowhere is. But all of them say, “Nowhere. Nobody knows.” He tries hard to find out the way home but he cannot. It is like an adventure(冒险) until(直到……为止) he meets the King. Daniel talks to him and he decides to help Daniel. He claps his hands twice. A great wind comes up and pulls the kite, along with Daniel, into the clouds and back to Peace Hill.

Comment(评论):

The story is so amazing that I can’t stop reading it. I admire(钦佩) Daniel because he is such a brave boy who tries hard to solve the problems in a strange place.

Watch Out!

Most of us do not think that our homes are dangerous places, but they are!

Every year in Britain almost 4,000 people die in accidents in the home. Three million people go to hospital each year because of accidents in the home. Children under the age of five and older people are most likely to have an accident at home. Falls are the most common accidents, which can cause serious injury(伤害) for people of all ages, but many other accidents can also happen in your home.

Here are some tips for keeping your away from danger.

Avoid(避免) falls by making sure stairways are bright and tidy.

Don’t climb on chairs to change light bulbs. Use a ladder(梯子).

Make sure that you have smoke alarms(警报器) in your home and test them every month.

Make sure everyone in your family knows how to get out of the house when there is a fire.

Avoid burns and scalds(烫伤), especially to children, by making sure that they cannot reach hot pans.

Reduce(减少) falls by quickly cleaning up anything after people dropped them.

Keep all the medicine out of sight and out of the reach of children.

Stop children burning themselves in the bath. Always run cold water in first. Then let in hot water.

Don’t take electrical appliances(家用电器) into the bathroom. You could kill yourself.

Can you think of any other danger in your home?

Photography is a way of making pictures by using light. The word “photography” means “to draw with light”.

A camera is used to take a photo. The camera focuses(使聚焦) reflected light from an object, or scene, and records this light onto film(胶片) or a digital chip(数字芯片). The film, or information on the digital chip, can then be processed(冲洗) into a photo.

The idea of taking photos has been around for hundreds of years. However, it was not until 1826 that an inventor was able to take the first photo. He took this photo by covering a metal plate with light-sensitive(感光的) chemicals and exposing(暴露) it to light through a camera lens(镜头).

Over the next 50 years, photographers moved from using metal plates to glass plates and finally to light-sensitive film to record an image.

Today, light-sensitive film is still used. However, digital technology(技术) has become more popular, and most images are now recorded inside cameras on a digital chip.

每题答案不超过5个词。

1.What does the word “photography” mean in English?

2.How long has the idea of taking photos been around?

4.Which is more popular today, light-sensitive film or a digital chip?
