All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea. In China people like to have tea together with their friends. They drink tea at any time of the day. They put only tea leaves in their cups. They prefer tea with nothing in it. Tea is also popular in Japan. People have tea every day. But the way they drink it is different from that in China. In the USA people drink tea at breakfast or after meals. They usually use tea bags to make their tea."
5 Dear classmates, Have you ever had any problems? Are you wondering who you can ask for advice? If so, you can write to Mr Sigmund Friend. You may wonder who he is. He is a youth worker. Do you know what a youth worker does? Mr Friend says that youth workers help young people solve their problems. They are doing a great job. Some of my friends wrote to Mr Friend and asked how they could deal with their problems. Soon they got his replies. Now they know what they should do. Best wishes, Millie
第一部分 朗读短文1 My neighbours are kind and helpful. Some of them are volunteers. They have different skills and often help us with all kinds of problems. Usually there is a 'helping hands' meeting at the weekend. People go there when they need help with their problems. Computer engineers are popular. They help people check their computers. You can also find someone to fix things like broken bicycles. Students can get help with their homework. There are some college students among the volunteers, and they are always ready to help. We are lucky to live in a neighbourhood like that. People here are like a big family.

We need to do something for giant pandas. They're now in danger. For example, giant pandas do not have many babies during their lives, and it's easy for baby pandas to get sick and die when they are very young. Also, giant pandas mainly live on a special kind of bamboo, so the bamboo forests are very important to them. However, the bamboo forests are becoming smaller and smaller. As a result, giant pandas may not have a place to live or food to eat. There are now only about 1600 pandas in the wild. We should take action to protect them right away.
7 Dear Sir, I would like to recommend Daniel for this year's Youth Star Award. Danielபைடு நூலகம்is a clever boy. He learns things quickly. He always thinks carefully when he works. He plans everything well. Daniel is really kind. Last week, a five-year-old boy lost his way and was crying in the street. Daniel saw him and took him to the police station. He stayed with the boy and played with him for two hours before the boy's parents came. All the members at the Helping Hands Club think that Daniel should get the award. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully

It is so windy in spring. Many people in the street have to cover their faces with scarves. It makes them look funny. Summer is usually very hot. The high temperature makes people sleepy in the afternoon. Sometimes it is rainy. The sudden heavy rain causes a lot of problems. Autumn is the best season of the year. People are lucky to enjoy many sunny days. They like to have a short trip around the city at the weekend. Most children like winter. They are happy and noisy on snowy days. They like snowball fights. However, it is sometimes cloudy in autumn and winter. Heavy fog is not healthy for people.

Our environment is changing for the worse, so it is time for us to go green. Here are some simple steps to take at home. We can save water by taking shorter showers and turning off the tap when we brush our teeth. In order to save power, we should turn off the lights when we leave a room. Some other good habits can help reduce pollution too. We should not use plastic bags when shopping. Recycling is also a good way to help reduce pollution. We should separate waste into different groups so that it can be recycled. Follow these small steps, and you can make a big difference to the Earth!"

Zhalong Nature Reserve is in North-east China. It is one of the world's most important wetlands. The area provides food and cover for a lot of wildlife. It is a perfect place for some rare birds. Some people want to make the wetlands smaller in order to have more space for farms and buildings. This will lead to less and less space for wildlife. Now the Chinese government has made laws to protect Zhalong. Wetlands are important because they provide food and shelter for wildlife including some endangered birds, and they also help prevent floods. We must protect the home of plants, fish and birds in Zhalong.
