My wife and I went on vacation in London last year. We went there in autumn. We thought it was the best season to visit England. The weather was quite fine and there weren't too many people in this season.
We lived in a small hotel in the west of England. We did most of our sightseeing on foot. We went to visit many wonderful places of interest. We also spent some time shopping. We bought something special for our friends. What we liked most was going to some museums. There were too many old things in them and I wrote what I saw in my diary. I can share it with my parents. A lot of people say fast food there is very nice. We tried some fast food and liked it a lot.
The trip was really enjoyable. We enjoyed our vacation so much that we have already decided to visit it again next year.
Unit 2Do you like running? Running is becoming one of the most popular activities these days. Many of us run for our health. Doctors say many of the health problems come from bad habits, such as eating too much, smoking, staying up late and not having enough exercise. Doctors tell us, "Eat less, don't smoke, have enough sleep and exercise more." Running is good exercise because it helps us build a strong body. It alsohelps many people lose weight. One 25-year-old woman teacher runs for half an hour in the morning five times a week. She runs to look thin. "I feel comfortable and I'm not fat any more," she says. Many runners say running makes some small health problems go away." Running is my doctor," says a man. Running can also help people relaxed. "After school, I like to runforten minutes. Then I feel active and energetic," says Yang Min, a middle school student. So today men and women of all ages enjoy running. Do you want to keep fit? Come on! Let's join in running！
Unit 3I have an online friend Zhang Kai. He studies/is studying in Sunshine Middle School in Beijing. It's a large school. There are 3,500 students and 158 teachers in their school.Zhang Kai's school life is very interesting. He has five lessons every day and I have eight. After class, he often goes to the Buddy Club first, because he can learn some life skills there. Every Friday afternoon, the students in their school have a soccer match. He isn't good at playing soccer, but he always goes to watch the matches.Different fromhim, I can spend only about half an hour playing every day, because I have to helpmy parents do the housework after class. And I have less time for studying than him. Every summer, I have six-week holiday but Zhang Kai has eight. I hope I can join some clubs like Zhang Kai. And I hope our school life is as interesting as his.
