Safe Travel Abroad
Preparing to go traveling abroad can be really stressful, especially if you don't know what to expect. Here is a list of important things to remember, so you know exactly what you need to do before you take off.
What vaccines (疫苗) do I need?
Go to your doctor for advice as soon as you know you're going traveling. They will know what vaccines you will need and will be able to advise you on when you need to have them. Remember, some vaccines need to be given months ahead, so make sure you book an appointment as early as possible.
Do I need a visa (签证)？
It's important that you have the correct official documents for traveling abroad. If you don't have the necessary paperwork, you might be refused entry. You'll need to check that your passport hasn't been out of date either.
How do I arrange travel insurance (保险)?
Travel insurance is really important. It can protect you in different kinds of situations, such as if you need medical treatment or if your flights are canceled. Tavel insurance can be arranged easily online or over the phone, but you can always turn to your local travel agency. Travel agents will also be able to advise you on what you are insured against.
①My little sister is spoilt (宠坏的). She has Dad wrapped around her finger. If I had done or said some of the things that she does when I was her age, I would have been in big trouble. Not her- she's Daddy's girl, She's three.
②An example: Dad asked her to get his glasses from the kitchen. My sister said, "You've got legs. You get them. When be asked again, she said, "Benny' got legs. He can get them," Mum and Dad thought she was funny. I just thought she was rude.
③One night she woke Dad and said she dreamed that "Benny was fighting a witch (巫婆)." Mum and Dad let her sleep in their bed the rest of the night. I never slept in their bed- not that I would have wanted to. She is so spoilt.
④One time at the beach after she'd been playing in the surf with Mum, my sister shouted that an "octopus‘s tentacles" had bitten (咬) her. Dad laughed his head off. It wasn't that funny. She was certainly imagining. I knew that's what she thought as I'd done a project on animals for school.
⑤She likes to do homework when I do mine. She sits next to me and pretends to write pages of homework. It's just letters such as the letters in her name that she repeats for row after row. Mum says she's just trying to be like me but it drives me crazy when I'm trying to fix my attention on my work.
⑥She took her favorite book, Animalia, to Kindy (幼儿园) this morning. When dad and I collected her from Kindy this afternoon, a boy had taken her book out of her locker and was being really careless with the pages. I could tell she didn't like him having her book. I took the book off the boy and told him to treat books nicely. My sister looked very happy.
⑦Later my Dad told me that my sister admires me. I guess that's pretty cool.

Workers wear them. Swimmers wear them. Scientists wear them. Woodcutters wear them. People who play sports wear them. Goggles protect the eyes. They keep out water and chemicals. They keep out bits of wood or stone. They might look funny, but goggles do serious work!
Why do people need to wear goggles? They need to keep their eyes safe. Many things can hurt our eyes. Have you ever gotten a piece of sand or dirt or other small particle (颗粒) in your eye? What happens? It hurts. Your eye beginning to fill with tears. Those tears are your body's way of getting the sand or dirt out of your eye. Sometimes this works. Your eye feels much better.
But what happens if your tears don't work? What happens if the piece of sand has gotten stuck in your eye? Eyes are delicate. They can be scratched or cut easier than skin (皮肤). If the particle is not washed out by tears, you might have to go to the doctor. You could even have problems seeing out of that eye.
Instead of waiting to see if tears will help, some people use goggles. This can prevent things from getting in their eyes at all. If they use goggles, their eyes are protected from the things that can cause problems, Goggles are a better way to protect eyes. They are made of plastic or glass, and they are tied around your eye area. Some of them hook behind your ears like glasses. Other goggles have a strap (带子) that goes around your head. Both kinds stay right where you put them until you take them off. That way, you can use both hands to work or play sports, and you don't have to worry about something getting in your eyes.
Your eyes are safe, and you can get busy working or playing!

For me, one of the greatest pleasures in life is going to watch a great film at the cinema. It's a chance for me to get away from real life. There's nothing better than being lost in a story unless, of course, someone decides to break down the moment.
Whether at a cinema or a huge theatre, someone usually decides to treat the place like their own home! There is an accepted way of behaving at the cinema which some people don't seem to understand.
To start with, some people always turn up late, causing you to rise from your seat to allow them to go past. Then, when you want to enjoy the surround-sound effects (环绕立体声效果) ，someone begins to enjoy their drinks and popcorn and thus makes a lot of noises. And what I can't stand most is people who decide to chat to their friends, sometimes not even about the film.
I'm not alone in this situation. Simon Mayo, a film critic at the BBC, experienced a "new low" during a film. He says, "The woman in front of me got a mirror out, then her boyfriend got a phone out and used the light on it to allow her to do her make-up!"
Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers should behave at the cinema. One of them is no use of mobile phones, and another is not to take your shoes off-a most serious offence (冒犯)!
Of course, when we have paid for a ticket, we feel it is our right to relax and enjoy the film in the way we want to but we mustn't forget our fellow moviegoers who want to enjoy the cinematic experience, too.
The best choice for anyone wanting to break the rules of cinema manners is to get a DVD and watch it at home. But we all know that the best way to enjoy the art of cinematography is on the big screen. ____
What about you? What annoys you about other people at the cinema?

My friends and I joined a two-day survival (生存) training course in the mountains. The first day was really 1 -there was so much to do! Arriving at the campsite, we were divided into groups and given a tent, some food, a 2 and a compass (指南针). Standing next to a small river, Fanny 3 camping in the grassy area nearby. However, our instructor, Mr. Lee, pointed out that it might flood (淹没) if it rained. In the end, we found a 4 area. Putting up the tent was very hard. 5 Mr. Lee helped us a lot.
By the time we had put up the tent, 6 was really hungry. "We wouldn't have got this hungry if we had brought some snacks," Peter said. We all told him to 7 complaining (抱怨) and help us start a fire to cool our food 8 . Realizing we were having trouble making the fire, be finally 9 .
The next day started early. Woken by a strange noise, Peter went to see what was 10 . "Some cows have eaten our breakfast!" he shouted. "That's all because you didn't 11 the food properly last night," said Mi Lee.
Worried that Mr. Lee was angry with us, we tried very hard on our next 12 -using the map and compass to find a secret location. We made it to the location 13 the other groups did. We all felt very proud of 14 .
The survival training course was a great 15 . Now I feel I could survive anywhere!
I believe there are many things that we can do to make life in our town a lot better for teenagers.
First of all, I think we should (build) more bike lanes. A lot of teenagers in my town bike everywhere, its very dangerous because there is a lot of traffic. If there are more bike lanes in the future, it will be much (safe) for us.
Secondly, I believe we need more places for teenagers to go to. my opinion, teenagers won't cause problems in the street if there are more places for us to go to. So we need more (club) and other places where we can meet.
Thirdly, teenagers here need more sports facilities. We have stadiums (play) ball games, but what about other sports, skating and rollerblading?
Finally, I'm sure we'll make town better if we stop dropping liter. Unless we all do something (help) now, our town won't be much better for everyone in the future.

Dear Li Hua
How is everything going? I am excited to tell you I am going to visit Hangzhou next month. Could you please tell me where I can spend my time? You know I'm interested in anything traditional, would you make an introduction? Also, what special food is worth tasting? BTW, I wonder if I should bring warm clothes.
Many thanks
Best wishes.
