I have a friend. His name is Oliver, from England. He is a 13-year-old boy. He likes1on weekends. There are many TV shows every day. What2of TV shows does Oliver like and what does he think of them?

Oliver's favourite TV shows3Sports News and Animal World. He often watches them4he goes to bed. Oliver's favourite subject is P. E. at school. When he watches Sports News, he knows a lot about the5players like Li Na, Sun Yang and Zhang Jike. He feels very6when he sees them win the match. Oliver also likes Animal World. He thinks the show is very interesting, and he can7a lot about animals from it. Pandas and koalas are his favourite animals. Oliver hopes8to Australia to see koalas one day.

As for The Way to Health, Oliver9it. He thinks it's boring. He never watches it. But his father and his mother10like it.

It has been a few months since the fifth season of Where Are We Coing, Dad? was shown. I like this show so much that I almost have never missed it.

In this season, there are 5 pairs of father and kids, one of which is formed(组成)temporarily(临时地).All the six kids( Max, Neinei, Xiao Shanzhu, Xiao Paofu, En Heng and Jasper)are very cute and talented, but Jasper is my favorite kid.

Through different kinds of games between dads and kids, the TV program shows us the different ways of family education(教育).This might help other parents to educate their own children. But for me, the most important is that celebrities join in this show. Many celebrities, like the 5 star fathers in the show, are usually very busy so they don't have much time to play and talk with their children when they are growing.

I think it was same with many other families. And this also makes me think of myself. Because of my study, I had little time with my parents. What we talk most is my grades. And many of my classmates feels really far from their parents. As a result, I hope parents can spend more time with their children. At the same time, as students, we should share our school life with our parents.

It was a nice winter day. After dinner, Ms. Lee checked (查看) her e-mails as usual. One e-mail caught her eye. It was from Mary, a girl who sat at the back of the classroom. She answered questions a lot in class.

Ms. Lee,

I love you and your classes. They are always interesting and full of surprises, Wish you a good holiday! Well, Steve, Ella and I want to improve our English during the holidays. We've no idea what to do. Any good advice?

Stopping here, Ms. Lee began to think carefully. "Steve spends lots of time remembering words, but always forgets most of them quickly! Ella didn't do well in the final exam. She has to go over her lessons a lot. Mary will go to a writing competition. She needs to read more and improve her writing in a short time."

Just then, her phone rang. It was a message from her best friend, an English teacher in another middle school. Her friend suggested a trip to Hong Kong. Ms. Lee told her she was available, but she didn't feel like going because she still had no idea how to help her students. Her friend laughed and soon sent her a picture with a QR code (二维码) in it. "It's all you want," "her friend said. Ms. Lee scanned (扫描) the code and found it was an English homework project for the coming winter holidays from English Weekly. As she read it, there appeared a big smile on her face.

Do you like sports? Are you getting enough exercise? Well, if you want an easy way to exercise, try walking.

There are no special instructions(指令), and there are no rules. You just walk—left, right, left, right. See? It's easy.

Walking is cheap. You don't need to spend money on expensive clothes and equipment(设备).

Walking is fun. You can go with a friend. Walk and talk. Listen to music, think about life, relax and so on.

It makes you feel good, sleep better and helps you keep your body in shape(体型). It's an easy way to get the exercise you need to stay healthy.

Walking is good in all kinds of weather. It's raining? Take an umbrella. When it's sunny, use sunglasses. If it's hot, take some water with you. It's cold? Don't worry. And walking in the row is of great fun!

Do you want to walk? Don't wait! Just do it!
